According to 47 year-old Elisabeth Faye Cannon, a group of black teens were harassing her. She said they were constantly walking past her property and throwing rocks at her home and vehicle. She said she called and complained to the police several times which is why she decided to take matters into her own hands.

Last week Cannon was arrested for shooting a black male teenager in the head and after posting $12,400 bail she wanted her neighbors to know that she’s not a bad person. One of the teens that was walking with the victim at the time he was shoot said Cannon harassed them in past accusing them of breaking in her home while hurling racial slurs at them. He also said they were walking home from the local convenience store when they heard gunshots and the next thing he knew his friend was shot.

The victim, 15 year-old Vernon Marcus Jr. of White Macon, Georgia was seriously injured. Cannon claims she only fired her gun to scare them away. She is being charged with two counts of aggravated assault.

Cannon once told a local newspaper:

“You try not to profile, but at the same time 99.9 percent of the crime is gonna be, most often, a Black male. … The good Blacks are too busy.”

When will the madness end?
