Christina Darling has been taken into custody following a slur directed at three Jewish kids and then spitting on them. This was in the context of a worrying incident on Brooklyn Street last Wednesday.
This was the moment that she approached Marine Park’s children.
Change.org’s petition identified Christina Darling to be a St. Francis College student. There, she was listed as both studying English and psychology. Her expulsion is being demanded by the petition.
“This woman passed them and yelled at us,” he said. Aryah Fried explained that Hitler-like things should have been done to you, and he spoke on CBS2.
Fried stated that Fried’s son responded to the suspect by saying he would save his little sibling.
“I need to tell him not to engage. However, he was engaged. She ran back. Spat in his faces. I told him that we would kill all of you. You know exactly where you are. Fried added, “And we’ll make certain to get you all the next time.”
Change.org petitioned Darling for identification as a student at St. Francis College, where she was listed as studying English as well as psychology. This petition calls for Darling’s expulsion.
