An ex-employee of a Mississippi campground, fired last month after pulling a gun on a black couple, was arrested Tuesday, the Oktibbeha County Sheriff's Office said.

Ruby Nell Howell, 70, of Starkville is charged with threatening exhibition of a weapon, according to a news release. Howell turned herself in Tuesday morning and was released on a $500 bond, the sheriff's office said. She is scheduled to be in court June 25. Video of the confrontation showed Howell on May 26 approaching Franklin and Jessica Richardson, along with their dog, as the couple sought a picnic spot and possible cabin on Oktibbeha County Lake near Starkville.

When ur being aproch by a BLACK MAN YOUNG/ OLD you got a right to STAND UR GROUND.. does this sound familiar

The maximum the gun-toting bigot will get (if convicted) is three months in jail and a $500 fine (which is equal to a three-month supply of Mountain Dew). She is out on a $500 bond.

Yes pulling a gun was a bit to extreme. But I get why she felt the need she is old and if you ever had to tell black people to do something. You know why she felt threatened. Since they kinda hard headed at times I know I see it a lot near where I work.

She should be dealt with swiftly because the black human being was also created by the same God Almighty Allah who created the white human being .

About time

She need a damn holster. Putting that gun in her pocket. SMH

The Base.

.... Ya all know who this lady voted for! America needs a serious fucking intervention. ....

What a disgusting human being.

😂😂😂

Wow, what great customer service 😏

👍

She obviously deserved to lose her job for over reacting and even arrested for unjustly brandishing a gun but explain to me why the headline has race in it. CNN stirring up racial tension again.

Does she even lose her carry permit?

When is News like this ever going to stop coming out of the U.S, man this goes on non Stop with these insane interractions between Citizens of this Country. Where on Earth do stuff like this take place on a regular basis. She even looked all wrong Holding that piece.

Soooo... we goin with KKKampground KKKaren?

I thought the only black folks in Mississippi amd Alabama are the members of their football teams? What are the others doing in there with all that racism?

Hope the Court orders her to turn in her firearms. She obviously doesn’t know how to use them. Idiot with gun is a scary thing!

Is that Hillary?

I bet you if they were a white couple from south Texas, she would even offer them a ride to the office and a discount. Your everyday American grandma . I think she should be made an example of and sentence to three months, which is ridiculously maximum term allowed by law .

Another domestic terrorist

White people Smh... That’s why i have my gun with me even when I’m taking a shit. You never know when they gonna act stupid

Only a FOOL thinks racism is one sided

Hallelujah! Hatred should have consequences.

Yes! Real MAGA

Good she should be. Who does she think she is Annie Oakley? Stop with the guns, please!

SikhProf

church every sunday for this lady. smdh.

Arrested, not for what she did, not for what she thinks, not for what she feels, no, she was arrested for getting caught, on video. = probation, fine ( I saw Blacks and 'feared for my life')

Because Trump is President, she thought this was okay.

I couldn’t imagine wanting to camp in Mississippi 🤮

KKKampgrounds of America.

What’s Dawn Fraser doing over there?

This isn't a favor to this black couple cause that racist old lady should've been arrested immediately after the attack.

Well.... they were black. And probably wanted to kill her or much worse.

Hah good

Lock her up take her guns

Good!

I thought Americans didn't understand the metric system?

Bye, bye &itch... it's your time to rethink your humanity

What'd you expect her to do. Light her tiki torch without drawing her weapon and repeat her verbal assault?

typical southern white bible belt person.... need to teach this white granny a lesson . Shld be in prison !

Terrorism

This is the perfect example, why gun reform isn't the best solution. The best solution is to eliminate all gun from the streets. I'll not get tired from saying it because its a fact. Some people ain't sick mentally, but by the heart of hate. VoteToEliminateAllGunsNow

It’s unfortunate that Mississippi is attached to the United States. The only thing good about Mississippi is a couple of good football teams.

Fire them, fire them all.

When is going to report on the illegal alien serial killer in Texas? It's almost like you have an agenda instead of reporting the news.

I hate racist shame on her

They let this old bat go

The way this reads, it's almost like CNN would want you to draw the conclusion that the reason she 'pulled a gun,' was, because they were a 'black couple.'

More Black Privlige?

kskinnervan Thoughts and prayers!

This:

LOCK HER UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!

Why does it matter if they were black? She pulled a gun on two people. If you keep making race a thing, people are gonna scream racism when it’s not even the motive. I expect nothing less from the shitty people at CNN making everything a race thing.

Law-Abiding Citizen Keeps Herself On Track With Weekly Cheat DayNEW YORK—Saying that sometimes she just needs a little break from her daily regimen, law-abiding citizen Karen Garver told reporters Tuesday that she keeps herself on track with a weekly cheat day in which she allows herself to commit any crime she wants. “I’m pretty strict Sunday through Friday, but come Saturday I tell myself it’s okay to bend the rules a little and improperly dispose of hazardous substances or rob a liquor store,” said Garver, explaining that by setting aside one day a week during which she can evade tax regulations, cause thousands of dollars in property damage, or assault a stranger, she’s able to resist temptation the rest of the week. “Being able to pause from living within the law now and then definitely helps keep me on the right path. Sometimes I’ll make a big day out of it with my girlfriends and we’ll all go out and set a forest fire, and then lead police on a high-speed chase through a crowded residential neighborhood.” Garver said she will let herself off the leash entirely during an upcoming 10-day vacation, however, noting that she doesn’t know when she’ll ever be back to Europe and therefore plans to break whatever Italian laws she pleases. Stick with that extra helping of apple pie. Karen is so Donald. Nobody’s perfect.

4 Hours Scrolling Through Facebook Before Bed Referred To As ‘Winding Down’TULSA, OK—Saying it felt good to just kick back and decompress after a long day, local woman Kelly Alderman reportedly referred to the four hours she spent scrolling through Facebook before she went to sleep Wednesday as “winding down,” sources confirmed. “As soon as I get home from work, all I want to do is take a load off and relax for a little while,” said Alderman, speaking of the period between 7 and 11 p.m. during which she routinely sits on her couch, makes brief comments on her friends’ status updates, clicks “like” on several dozen posts, and responds almost instantaneously to any and all notifications she receives before eventually closing her laptop and brushing her teeth. “I think it’s important to spend some time every evening [repeatedly clicking through every one of my acquaintances’ most recently uploaded photos of the bars they’re visiting or the weddings they recently attended and then just sit there continuously refreshing my news feed] before I turn in for the night.” Sources added that Alderman refers to the 25 separate times she scans the social media site on her iPhone throughout the workday as “taking a little break.” hits too close to home I do this too but for twitter and I refer to it as crippling loneliness ZephyDd

Toddler Unsettled By Whatever Possessed Her To Bite Friend’s FaceWESTON, CT—Visibly shocked and repulsed by her own behavior as she sat questioning the type of person she is deep down, unsettled 2-year-old Ellie Ritter admitted to reporters that she had no idea what compelled her to bite her friend on the face Thursday. “I honestly don’t know what came over me. I know Jacob took the train I was playing with, but I usually handle that kind of thing okay—but this time I…I bit him,” said a shaken and bewildered Ritter, sitting wide-eyed on a floor mat at her daycare as she vehemently asserted that she had no prior knowledge of this dark, disturbing place within her. “I mean, this is Jacob we’re talking about. He’s my friend, my playmate. And I just went straight for his forehead like an animal. Jesus, what is wrong with me?” At press time, the unnerved toddler was staring uneasily down at her trembling, fingerpaint-covered hands and contemplating what other horrors she was capable of. Primal urges Must have been... A little early for Klingon mating ritual so it must be self defense because he was getting handsy.
