CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A video showing a woman harassing two women standing outside their apartment has gone viral.

The initial incident happened happened Friday, Oct. 19, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police.

The two sisters, Leisa and Mary Garris, were waiting outside of their apartment for AAA to jump their car when the woman approached them.

"We are so distraught and still very upset about what has taken place only because of the color of our skin," the sisters said. "It is so upsetting to know that today we still have this overt racism going on in 2018."

After the woman approached the Garris sisters, you can hear her say, "This is Myers Park, SouthPark, B****. Why are you up in here hanging out?"

The woman is then heard saying, "Hi, how are you?"

One of the Garris sisters is heard saying, "I don't know, but you're harassing me."

The woman responds by saying, "Do I need to bring my concealed weapons too? This is North Carolina by the way."

Her LinkedIn profile seems to be inaccessible. Imagine that.

Before being removed, it said, "Susan J. Westwood ... Current, Strategic Data & Reporting Analyst & Special Projects - Territory Management at Spectrum Enterprise."

Wonder what her next career will be? Perhaps speaking at de-motivational seminars? Titles like, "How ethyl alcohol helped me re-focus my career away from a cushy $125K job, to developing expertise in hiding one's identity while job-searching".

Not watching the Video, but I assume the crazy White Woman was wearing a MAGA Hat, right?

How do go from making $125k a year to begging for a job as a Walmart greeter.

So being a stupid moron and expressing idiocy in public on your personal time is a fireable offense?

By whose definition?

I don’t agree with the woman’s actions at all, but she may have a legal case against Charter. Demotion, perhaps. But termination is something I can’t agree with and I think many of the comments here are egregiously-wrong unless she was charged and the criminal charges or conviction violated her employment contract.

Good. In the public sphere keep your words’ thoughts and hands to yourself. You are not entitled to a rant nor are you entitled to open a discussion with strangers.

She makes $125K a year but lives in an apartment? If her rent is over $1,000.00 per month, she could own a very nice townhome in Charlotte and pay about that much monthly for a mortgage.

Be wary of what you say in this era where everything seems to be recorded. Everyday life is now on a stage.

Amen PT. If you are out in public, consider yourself on camera. It's come to that in America.

I am a professional in management. There are defined rules for conduct on and off the job.

My company can fire me for unprofessional conduct whether I am "on the clock" or not.

Their rules, my choice to follow them.

The white lady is definitely a kook and deserved what she got.

However, the black ladies acted like such victimized snowflakes.

I wonder why the videos of black thugs beating up special needs people didn’t raise so much outrage?

So you’re a Charter employee or an otherwise expert on Charter’s employment agreements?

Alrighty then.

Totally missed my point.

You might want to reread the Post. Nowhere did the Poster say “Charter or Spectrum (which is what they go by now) employee or an otherwise expert on Charter’s (Spectrum) employment agreements”

The Poster was referring to THEIR Job.

Yep, she was drunk. The one woman in the video said she could smell the alcohol on her.

That this kind of abject stupidity and racism still exists in the America that I know and love just breaks my heart.

I don’t know if you are working for someone or not but these days MOST Employers have a Huge Pile of Contractually Binding Paperwork that Employees have to read, agree to and sign as part of being Employed. They also like to “sell” the Job as one thing and then they have a bunch of Fine Print that adds all kinds of other tasks to the main one.

AND then at the very end is this:

“and other tasks as assigned”

Example: I am a Professional Water Treatment Operator [you know, the Person that makes sure Safe, Clean, Potable Water comes out of the faucet 24/7/365(6) for you to use] and that is a demanding full time situation while on duty. I also found out that the powers that be wanted Me to MOW AND WEEDEAT THE LAWN!!!

I HATE YARDWORK, I MEAN I REALLY HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!

But I thought nothing of those few words when I signed on to Treat Water.

Now I don’t care how long it takes Me but I READ ALL the fine print first. And I make people wait as long as it takes to read it.
