Black woman abusively charged with a hate crime

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

A 40-year-old San Jose woman has been charged with a hate crime Wednesday after she allegedly unleashed a racist rant, targeting a Mountain View McDonald's employee and his manager when she refused their repeated demands to wear a COVID-19 face mask.

"Targeting people because of their perceived ethnicity is not just a shame, it's a crime", said District Attorney Jeff Rosen. "There is no excuse for hatred".

On Saturday morning, Jenkins was eating inside the McDonald's without wearing a mask in violation of the restaurant's COVID-19 restrictions.

When a McDonald's employee repeatedly asked the defendant to leave, she refused and called the employee: "(Expletives deleted) Mexican! Go ahead and call the cops!"

When the employee called the police, the defendant shoved a COVID plexiglass shield and a sign at the employee.

At this same time, the store manager became alerted to the situation and asked the defendant to leave.

Jenkins responded by walking around the front counter, calling the manager a "stupid Mexican", and used her fist to strike him on the arm and shoulder.

Once police arrived on scene, Jenkins continued to make racially charged comments to officers about McDonald's store employees calling them: "dumb Mexicans … who don't know how to speak English".
