iguel Sanchez was hired as a contractor to do repairs in an apartment complex in Century City, but when his coworker Jesse arrived on the site August 4th, he was subjected to a racist assault by a resident.

In a video that Sanchez shared on Facebook of the encounter, a woman is seen blocking Jesse from entering the premises to begin their work. “She was calling us wetbacks and that we were probably there to steal their stuff,” he later explained in an interview with KTLA5. “After all those racial comments on us, I got my phone out and I started recording.”

In the footage, the woman – who has since been identified by neighbors as Rhonda Michelle Polon – is seen throwing a scalding hot coffee directly into Sanchez’s face.

I hope he presses charges. Stupid cow.

She should change her name to Rhonda Trump after the way that she conducted herself.

Disgusting racist bitch.

She also threatened his wife and children because the entire world knows she's a racist. Just an utter wankstain of a human being through and through.

I don't understand his comment about this video making a "difference" when both of them were being quite provocative. (was reading a follow-up article **source below**). The lady has since been harassed and she is being doxxed with address and phone numbers in comment sections on the local news sites. To me, just seems like an overreaction given the full contents of the video.

There's no footage of racist commentary that I could hear in the video. Not the best quality. We often talk in SD about how we should withhold our verdict on incidents as news develop in cases such as suspected terrorism (despite circumstantial evidence).

Here we have circumstantial evidence of racism, and yet nothing in video. The wetback comment is unacceptable if it was made, and yet these folk called the dude white trash in video. It is also the equivalent of when Hispanic folk call Mexicans/other Hispanics wet-backs.

Anyway, seems like a nice rich/upper class area and I feel like this is better an example of blatant class discrimination than exceptional case of racism. The lady probably prompted the situation with her drama queen behavior and I'm sure slurs were exchanged both directions. However, just seems these "workers" were entirely unprofessional and for the several minutes this transpired, they had multiple T's they could've taken to resolve the issue... instead, they ratcheted up the drama by pulling out the phone, shouting back and forth, following the lady into the building... not a good idea if someone is "suspicious" of you... though I do think it is quite funny she is still accusing them of being criminals while they are not only remaining on property, but recording the incident.

Anyway, on a personal level, I don't think that coming up to someone's face with a phone is a good idea. My blood would boil if someone pulled out a device and starting following me around and getting in my face. I would have lost it.

I do think too it is ironic, with this being so panned here, the throwing of coffee being treated something like a smoking gun by the media, when several users here have had gifs in sigs of people acting aggressively, tossing drinks onto one another and other messy behavior....

It's just a dumpster fire all around as I'm concerned, this incident. But not what I would call the best example of discrimination. Seems like all four of them were complete dicks in equal measure. Especially robe guy... go put some pants on... the last guy, I tentatively named "wtf" guy who randomly came out late to "resolve" the issue... seems like all 5 of them wanted to be the parking lot hero and get a piece of that mess. A sad moment in humanity was just witnessed by viewers at home, but not for the reasons the title stipulates. Anyway, this would've made a great Cops episode... still trying to come up with a good title...

..oh that tweet was from her then, threatening his family..

I can not hear the dialogue on this video except for; "I told you; get out of my face" and as any type of evidence it is useless without the narration - apart from the fact that she did definitely throw her drink, though whether she deliberately aimed it at his face or just blindly threw it is not clear also -though in any context it is a confrontational and violent act.

Did the hot drink hit his face?

I'm not saying that the Mexican worker's version of events is not the truth, just that from the video alone it is impossible to confirm that version.

If it is the truth, then the woman is dangerous besides racist and SHOULD be prosecuted.

The subsequent threats allegations should also be thoroughly investigated and the culprits also prosecuted.

Why? Does Trump make a habit of throwing scalding coffee at people?

Criticise the man for his own issues, don't pile on the crimes of others.

[LeatherTrumpet]

well it wasnt "scalding hot coffee" having watched the video that is for sure as she would have had to make it come down stairs and enter the garage and the man himself said that they was conversation prior to the video starting so it makes you wonder what else has been fabricated for this Story?

[Northern Monkey]

That lady was f’king nuts.She deffo threw coffee on the guy.Then that other white guy accused them of stealing his bike because presumably some different Mexicans had stolen it.So that was pretty racist.
The Mexicans also started being racist too though which didn’t do them any favours calling them “cracker piece of ****” and “white trash”.

I was thinking of his OTT hatred of Mexican people.

Did you watch that thing with Ed Balls in the US meeting Trump supporters last night? I was shocked at the Mexicans and the black people who voted for him and bloody love him.

If that is true, then they both need to stop playing hero and file charges. I would be concerned about the media putting their names out there, when clearly they've said things in that video that could inspire some loon out in the public. They're already been sharing the lady's info around in comment sections and wouldn't put it past some crazy idiot out in the public to grab a hold of theirs and distribute...

The coffee throwing would've been enough to file, but threats are a different ballgame. I couldn't hear any of that through in the audio with all the yimmering and yammering back and forth. Obviously we could hear the two closest to the phone yelling fine, but it was difficult to hear over with the "narrating"...

how is a wall to stop illegal immigration and drugs hatred?

Border security isn't hatred though. It's been a huge issue for most voters here for more than a few presidencies and every president has promised major immigration reform and yet nada... I didn't understand for a while why the wall was such a big deal, but immigration is higher up on the bucket list for most voters than even I realized (and I live in Texas so we care a lot about it obvs)... anyway, but why the wall?... well, because he made such a big deal about it and was willing to make such colorful comments... oh this guy is actually serious about immigration.

Past presidencies have been for open borders (more or less) regardless of what they say in writing/policy... which makes sense, when both parties were hanging by a thread and in desperate need for remodel... a significant part of our population is Hispanic and in not too long, that will be a huge demographic in the US... so yeah, if they're concerned about long-term survival and getting the youth vote, it's good to start there... but after Trump presidency, we learned even Hispanics, particularly legal migrants, they are more than happy to support stricter immigration reform... in fact, they have the same concerns... so I don't think immigration is a racial issue for the core voter... though what Trump said was pretty horrible, particularly the pandering to border states about how all these illegal immigrants are rapists, etc, and was one of the top reasons I did not vote for him...

But to my original point, I don't think the wall itself is racist (in theory)... it is certainly symbolically to the Mexican people whose politicians have ratcheted up the rhetoric against the US which has really changed their elections a bit...
