Did she say anything racist here, or are we just assuming that because the little girl and her mom are black that her motive was race?

Stop. You're part of the problem, Bored Panda. And you are basically saying you and every person "investigating" this woman and posting tweets are fair game for the same treatment. And in the end, she didn't even call the police, the police aren't involved either against the girl selling water or against this woman -- in all seriousness, WTF ARE YOU DOING.

The incident was not racial. Why are people assuming that? Just because the woman is white and the child is black? Sounds like the Mother is just trying to get some internet fame.

ya all need to get a grip. if you need to feel valid by destroying someones life you will never feel valid because you aren't. get a hobby or find a real cause to get behind. become the person you want to be.

She DID NOT call the police. Even the mom had to admit that no police showed up because they were never called. The people attacking her are no better than the gang that killed the 15 year old. Oops he did not do anything!! Stop! Think! Get all the information! Verify! If we start attacking people for being a jerk, at some point we will all be under attack!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my pitchfork ready! Who's the target of mob justice today?

I hate everything about this story.

I'm shocked at the responses from people when it was based from a loud child and had nothing to do with who is black or white, but not shocked at the idiots who jump on the band wagon and make it racial. I do not feel bad for the little girl at all. My children have never gone on a vacation, but I would never allow them to be rude to neighbors. I feel horrible for Allison. She has a right to live in peace and there are laws stating so. Shame on Debra Messing and anyone else who accuses Allison of racism when you don't know the story and just want to make it appear like ahh poor girl, defending someone who was wrong! If my neighbors yell for an hour I'd call the police too.

The action of calling the cops isn't the kind of impulsive reaction that comes from having bad day or being stressed, you have to go out of your way to call the police on a child selling water. We may not know if her motives came from racist inclinations but she certainly is pedantic, insensitive and overall a bit of a s**t.

So now people support bullying a grown up who did something dumb? Sure, she was being petty and dumb, but you cannot assume this is racism. If she walked past a little white girl selling water and said nothing, then maybe. But you can't just say something is racist because two different skin colors are involved. This petty lady should be left alone.

Christ people are crazy when it comes to the internet. She clearly stated the 8 year old girl was screaming at the top of her lungs all day to sell water, that would be annoying to anyone living close by having to hear a kid scream the same thing over and over for hours. Now people are going to try and ruin her business and her life? Get real! Bunch of keyboard warriors

Was the Mom and kid "screaming" like the woman said? I couldn't take much of that, either.

Is she a racists? I'd need more facts to know for sure. Could she have handled this differently..absolutely! Why not go up to them and say "Kudos for such an enterprising young girl to be selling water on such a hot day! But I do have a suggestion about marketing. Let her (point to little girl) do the yelling about water being for sale. When people hear a child's voice, they are more likely to investigate and see that she is selling something refreshing..it makes people smile. But if they hear an adults voice in there, they will think that mom put her up to it and that it's some sort of con. They'll drive or walk away. She's got this mom. Let her fly on her own." Then maybe offer to put a handmade sign up on the business door saying that this little girl is selling water, the price and where to find her.

People need to stop wasting our tax dollars and law enforcement's time.

How did a child selling water bother her at all? Little girl should get props. When I was 8, I wasn’t trying to have a job and make money, I was asking mom and dad for money. I don’t see a racist tone to this, not everything is about race. The blatant fact is this woman is a terrible person for picking on a kid.

Should be exposing the loud mouth n****r making the video, hate them f****n loud a*s street hawkers

Guess who won battle of immaturity?

Snitches don't get stitches any more, they lose jobs!

Hang on now. Surely selling something on the street without a permit is illegal. No matter who you are, gender, race or age. Also... if she's selling bottled water, it's not like she made that (you can't) so it's not like it's even a product she's worked on or made, or done anything at all with. And.... isn't it illegal for 8 year olds to be working selling anything anyway? As well as.... people selling things outside of events who are in no way related to the event, still illegal. On top of screaming for hours next to offices, yes, I'm sure anyone in there would get annoyed. People stop jumping on the band waggon, this is such a non issue.

How can she be all 'they were just being noisy' when she literally said on the phone 'they're illegally selling water without a permit'. Maybe instead of calling the god damn police she could've just ASKED them?

The part I dont get is why should they have had to show her any type of permit if they had one. She should of just simply called the police if she felt they were selling without a permit to do so. This is just one more thing that has been gotten out of hand. Remember people everyone has phones with cameras so be mindful of your choices when out in public. But at the same time I have never requested or thought it was a requirement for kids to open lemonade stands, or a permit being required when children are out selling stuff to raise money for their school. what about the girl scouts are they required a permit to sell their cookies. This could of been handled way better, she could of asked them to go further down the street if they were being to loud, or just simply minded her own business.

Have a great day people of the internet ! :)

Another idiot jeopardizing their livelihood by being a moron. When will people learn?

So, did the girl scout selling her cookies outside the medicinal marijuana dispensary have a permit? Criminal or entrepreneur?

Damn...she sure screwed the pooch!
