ENFIELD - A woman accused of using racial epithets while waiting for food at a Taco Bell drive-through window was arrested Wednesday.
Jennifer Farrelly, 19, of East Windsor, has been charged with ridicule on account of race, creed or color and second-degree breach of peace. Farrelly's boyfriend, Eric Satterlee, 22, of Ashford, was charged with breach of peace in the incident.
On Dec. 18, Farrelly and Satterlee became frustrated by the slow service at the Taco Bell restaurant on Brookside Place, according to an arrest warrant. Farrelly banged on the drive-through window and called the Taco Bell attendant, Jamelle Byrd, a racial epithet, according to the warrant. Satterlee allegedly cursed and banged on the window.
Farrelly denied using racial epithets when she was interviewed by police, saying Byrd caused the dispute by ridiculing her for parking her car far away from the drive-through window, the warrant states. Byrd's supervisor told police that Byrd should not have been working the drive-through because he had gotten into a similar incident with another customer, the warrant states.
Police Chief Carl J. Sferrazza said Byrd was not arrested in the incident.

Where did you find this article? Please provide a link.
Enfield CT....about a half hour from Hartford, CT.
I move from Northern California and worked as a police volunteer on weekends. In CA you'll be looking at jail time for any disagreement you have with a minority. If there is a disturbance and they call the cops -- whatever minority will play the race card. It is just how it works and as you say THE NEW AMERIKA.
I can't find this on the site at all.
"Does this mean rappers who call whites "crackers", etc.. "
Ok, time for the obligatory whine. EVERYONE is a minority except for white Christian males. The wcm is the only group you can feel free to assault, and abuse as much as you see fit. After all, the wcm is the source of all problems in the world right? /< whine>
That's a good policy. If I were a cop, I don't think I'd be going to drive throughs in uniform, either. There are a lot of idiots out there.

I'm sorry, in Enfield joking is also a crime.
In Pennsylvania this would be a felony... no time to post link, but new law passed a year or so ago says that any misdemenor (breach of peace) is elevated to felony if there is any component to the crime involving protected groups (which even includes the obese, so in PA if he had said, Hey Fat A&* hurry up with my order, it would still be a felony)... Of course, the laws are written so that you don't need to show intent (thanks to the WOD and decades of precedents) welcome to Amerika comrade...
sounds like the soviet union
I've been all over the site you listed and can't find this article anywhere.
This sort of doesn't remind me of the Mohommad cartoon in Denmark.
For some reason, I'm reminded of the Warren Zevon song....."I went home with the waitress / the way I always do / How was I to know / she was with the Russians too.... Send lawyers, guns, and money...."
Jamelle is a "he".
It's always fun to order in Spanish at the Taco Bell.
"has been charged with ridicule on account of race, creed or color"
Calling the ACLU, Calling the ACLU -- hmmm, no answer.
Went to link in post 3 and found it right away. Second story down.
