Yet another victory for the armed citizen! A feral thugette attacked a laundromat attendent last Friday. It didn’t end well for the attacker. Her victim fought back.
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. – People come to The Clothes Basket on Highway 7 in Holly Springs to clean their clothes, but Sheri McClatchy’s job is to keep the laundromat itself clean.
“Never had any trouble at all. Never a cross word with anybody for two years,” McClatchy said.
But what happened Friday just after noon went beyond cross words. Surveillance cameras captured a female customer attacking McClatchy following a conversation McClatchy had with two other customers.
McClatchy said she was reminding two women not to overload the washing machines.
“That we can’t refund if you’re overloading the washers,” McClatchy said.
I’m sure once the rampaging thugette is caught, she’ll have a different version of the conversation. It’ll probably be something along the lines that she was telling the other two black women that it’s a bad idea to mix whites with coloreds. Or this machine is for whites only. You know, laundromat racism!
That’s when she said another customer butted in with a lecture about how the laundromat was responsible if the machines broke.
“Just started telling me how she was a law student,” McClatchy said.
“It had nothing to do with her. She was just another customer in here using the dryer.”
As a “law student,” the thugette should have known that assault is against the law, but her rage over . . . I don’t know what . . . caused her to lash out at McClatchy like a lion in the wild.
It wasn’t long before the verbal assault soon turned into a physical one. Just out of the range of a surveillance camera, McClatchy said she was slammed against some dryers.
As McClatchy fights back, the customer who lost her cool loses her hair. The customer’s wig comes flying off and the two fall to the ground.
“When you can’t grab the shirt because the wig is hanging so long, you grab for what you can. You gotta get your hands on them,” McClatchy said.
Well, ok. But you could always punch her in the throat and knee her in the crotch. Poke an eye out, perhaps? But to each their own.
McClatchy said she managed to get away and walked outside, but that the angry customer followed her. Worried she was going to resume the attack, McClatchy said she drew her gun and the woman backed off.
And suddenly the loud-mouthed alleged law student had nothing further to say and the pistol-packin’ mama rested her case. See it here:
Several minutes later, cameras show police arriving on the scene, but the customer had already left. McClatchy said she’s not welcome back at the laundromat.
“I don’t have a problem with her, I have a problem with how she handled it and I hope in her future, she says she’s gonna be an attorney or a lawyer, I hope she learns to hold her composure a whole lot better,” she said.
Holly Springs police confirmed that they took a report, but didn’t respond to an email asking if any charges had been filed.
Yeah, she says she’s gonna be an attorney. Good luck with that after she’s (hopefully) caught and convicted. But I’m sure the NAACP will still take her in. Maybe she’ll represent herself at her own trial.
“How do you plead?” asks the judge.
“I dindunuffin, your honor.”
