Winooski Man Charged After Alleged Racist Tirade at Post Office

[TexasTowelie]

A white man faces criminal charges for unleashing what was described as a racist tirade against a white Winooski woman and her biracial daughter as they left the city's post office last week.

The Chittenden County State's Attorney's Office accused Don Lindsay, 66, of Winooski, of disorderly conduct with a hate-crime enhancement. He pleaded not guilty during a June 30 arraignment, but police said he admitted to saying "some nasty things."

"I don't like Blacks I'm sorry I am prejudice but I don't care," he allegedly told Winooski Officer Jason Ziter, according to a court affidavit.

Lindsay explained to Ziter that he had lost his patience at how long Megan Gregory, 31, spent inside the Winooski Post Office on Main Street, where COVID-19 restrictions allow just one customer at a time inside the lobby.

1. The problem isn't that the pr**k is a bigot...

nor is it that he tells people he is a racist pig. The problem is he is verbal assaulting people.

These a holes thought that electing Trump was going to make it okay for them to act like this instead keeping their hatred to themselves.
