Note that as many as 100 shoppers who witnessed Simmons’ attack on Suozzi chased down Simmons, and blocked her and her boyfriend from escaping in her car. Simmons was reportedly arrested “with a big smile on her face.”

When blacks attack whites in front of dozens, and even hundreds of white witnesses in New York City, no one ever goes after the attacker, though blacks, Hispanics, and sometimes even whites will pile on, attacking the victim.

So much for the bystander effect. Not all bystanders were created equal, and that’s because some towns have turned, thanks to “liberalism” and diversity, while others have held out.

(AP) BATAVIA, N.Y. - Jury selection begins today in the trial of Jacquetta Simmons, a western New York woman who's accused of punching a 70-year-old Walmart greeter in the face on Christmas Eve.

Simmons was charged with two counts of felony assault but one of those was reduced last week to a misdemeanor.

Nevertheless, the 26-year-old faces up to seven years in prison after being charged under New York state's "Granny Law." The law makes it a felony to injure someone 65 or older if the defendant is at least 10 years younger than the victim.

Simmons is accused of knocking Grace Suozzi off her feet with a blow to the face while Suozzi was checking her receipt. Simmons' lawyer says Suozzi grabbed her bag.

Jury selection starts Monday in Genesee County Court in Batavia.
