Also, I’m sure many mentally, or otherwise, ill white people have fallen through the cracks of the health care system in Georgia as well as all over the country.

The NEWS isn’t NEW that the US Health Care System SUCKS, for not only in the case where Black/African descended people are concerned, but for the rest of the population.

Excuse me, but I don’t see how national media attention will help anyone in this case. The person that needs the most help is the young woman. Yeah, the elderly lady was verbally assaulted, but it was nearly un-deliberate since the young woman has a mental disorder. She couldn’t help herself - she’s ill.

You see it right there the progression of this mental disorder and confirmed diagnosis. The old lady identified the girl and she’s now in custody. What else do you want?

You have to consider all the events that go on in the world between people of whatever racial background, or combination there of, and how hundreds and thousands of instances go un-reported on the main stream news circuits. Everything is not going to be on the news, be it news worthy or not.
