POTUS Says: Three 'Regular' Guys Havin' a Beer. Right!
Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 6:02PM Lucia Whalen won't be joining the guys for a beer, although her life has also been totally disrupted by the 911 call that she made to Cambridge police, expressing concern about the Gates residence.
Whalen's lawyer does comment -- as I have -- that the three guys with special training 'blew it' in handling just about every aspect of this incident. Whalen was the level-headed one in this matter.
Whalen has been called a racist and is the target of scorn by bloggers who assert that she would never have made the call if the men were white. Whalen was on her way to buy lunch, when she was approached by an elderly woman distressed by a possible breakin in process. She says that she has been threatened.
We reported the facts of Whalen's 911 call on Monday: No Mention of Race or Burglary by Lucia Whalen in Her 911 Call About a Potential Problem at the Gates Residence.
This is a very tough, heart-rendering tape of a caring, professional, community-minded woman who tried to do the right thing.
We criticize people for not getting involved in our communities, but Lucia Whalen gives us insights into what can happen to us, when we do.
