Because little black 9 year old girls deserve to have the cops called on her by male Karens just because she was conducting science experiments.

I'm please Yale decided to honor this budding scientist.

Bobbi Wilson’s lanternfly-killing efforts were interrupted months into her operation when her neighbor Gordon Lawshe contacted Caldwell police on Oct. 22, 2022. He reported suspicions about a “little Black woman walking and spraying stuff on the sidewalks and trees,”

Bobbi’s mother, Monique Joseph, told the Times that helping address the insect infestation “empowered” her daughter, and she hopes the resulting police call can be a “teachable moment” about the dangers of racial profiling on Black children.

In a recording of the call, obtained by The Daily Beast, Lawshe told the responding officer: “There’s a little Black woman, walking, spraying stuff on the sidewalks and trees on Elizabeth and Florence. I don’t know what the hell she’s doing, scares me though.” He added that the girl was “real tiny” and had a hood on.




Dawwwwg Whistle!

They should be arrested for abuse of the 911 system at least. And toss a hate crime on it be the best

I had not heard of lanternflies. They're kind of pretty.

The reality is there will always be some nosy busybody somewhere that just can't mind their business.

Their gender or ethnic origins are irrelevant. They all have this in common: stupid, douchenoozle, self-centered egocentric personalities combined with a jealous, spiteful and hate-filled mind.

Calling the police on a 9 year old black girl is 100 steps beyond. He described her as a woman not a little kid.

More then just a nosy neighbor. What happens next time when the black kid gets arrested? Classic case of a young black life being put at unnecessary risk.

I did say:

"stupid, douchenoozle, self-centered egocentric personalities combined with a jealous, spiteful and hate-filled mind "

that last part explains motivation very well.

I don't want to see anyone anywhere go through unnecessary harm like her. This occurs everywhere humans exist. Where I live the most marginalized group is indigenous people. They are on the receiving end horrendous abuse by society just for being themselves.

Let’s not forget the last part of his dog whistle description of her…she was wearing a hood.

State of Hawaii has had good success with releasing sterilized male insects into the targeted invasive infestations as well as genetically modified ones that, upon being reproduced render the species vulnerable to what nature would otherwise protect the species with.

Short of reasons why I'm not aware of, these methods may work with local infestations of the lanternfly.

And yes, that racist dude who called the cops on that child should be sterilized as well.

not to belittle the abject racism here, but if I saw a little kid (or a perceived "little woman") of any race/color/creed spraying the sidewalk I can't think of a scenario where I'd be like "Yeap, better call the cops on this one!' I mean how insecure and scared must you be to call the cops for something like this? And if you're curious ask the person.

It must suck horribly living in such a frightening little world and not even realizing it
