Georgia woman pulls gun on two Black boys riding their bikes

Patricia Compton was charged with aggravated assault counts, plus child cruelty and terroristic threats.

Two children in Georgia say they were terrified when a woman pulled a gun on them as they were out riding bikes in a Byron subdivision on Sunday.

Twelve-year-old Kaleb Barnes and his best friend, 13-year-old Ethan Hollis, were riding their bikes in the Autumn Cove subdivision when they heard animal noises and went to investigate.

That’s when they were approached by Patricia Compton, who pointed a gun at them.

“My friend Ethan started running, and I just stood there and said, ‘Don’t shoot, don’t shoot, I’m a kid,’ and I tripped on those rocks,” Barnes told a local news outlet.

from a Karen reporting three black men walking by her house. He asked her if they were breaking some law she said they just shouldn't be in this neighborhood she wanted them arrested. At least she didn't threaten to shoot them.

One little "involuntary" twitch of a trigger finger, and one of those kids could have become a corpse. This is not a minor infraction. People like this need to be put away, and not for just the night.

No assaults. No threats. No property damage. Just two kids riding their bikes.
No real reason to confront them at all and certainly no reason to draw a gun.

Patricia Compton was charged with aggravated assault counts, plus child cruelty and terroristic threats.

Responding officers explained the law to Compton: Because she was in no danger, and the incident happened in broad daylight, she was being charged with one count of aggravated assault.

“When the officer was explaining the law to her, she then told the officer that if the kids had approached her, she would have shot them.
This is what we’re dealing with,” Venita Kennedy said.
====================
Compton told the responding deputy she got a call from neighbors that two people were on her property. The report notes it wasn’t her home but a piece of land that houses a construction shop and animals.

A pardon from Governor Kemp, then she has a bright future with Senator Purdue.



We need some new words to describe this kind of evil.

Just a side note, the George Washington hair isn't going to impress the judge.
