Last Sunday one hundred people gathered on the front yard of a 71-year-old man who was allegedly spewed racial slurs and assaulted a neighbor according to the Providence Journal. Richard Gordon was arrested and charged with assault and disorderly conduct. The incident was captured on video, but was too blurry to provide a clear view of what happened, however, the audio reveals a man with an accent call someone in the video “rude.” Another man with no accent can be heard shouting an obscenity along with a racial slur. This followed a loud slap sound.
A member of the family targeted by Gordon, Iman Ali Pahlavi detailed what happened in a Facebook post saying the altercation took place when her husband went to replace a property marker. She went on to add that her family has been on the receiving end of “microaggressions” during the three years since they’ve moved in.
Katherine Quinn, a friend of the family attended the protest said Gordon is “an angry racist privileged white man who cannot stand the fact that this family lives across the street from him.”
