Yale honors the work of a 9-year-old Black girl whose neighbor reported her to police

Nine-year-old Bobbi Wilson may be in the fourth grade, but last month the Yale School of Public Health held a ceremony honoring the budding scientist's recent work.

The university entered Bobbi's collection of 27 spotted lanternflies — an extremely invasive species that is harmful to trees and other plants — into the Peabody Museum of Natural History database. Bobbi was also presented with the title of "donor scientist" during the Jan. 20 ceremony.

There's a little Black woman walking, spraying stuff on the sidewalks and trees on Elizabeth and Florence," Lawshe told the dispatcher, according to a call obtained by CNN.

"I don't know what the hell she's doing. Scares me, though," Lawshe added.

Outside, Bobbi, a petite child who wears pink-framed glasses, was doing her bit to comply with the state's Stomp it Out! campaign, which urges New Jersey residents to help eradicate the spotted lanternfly infestation. She'd learned about it at school and made her own version of an insect repellent she'd seen on TikTok. Making her way from tree to tree, Bobbi would spray the bugs, pluck them from the tree and drop them into a plastic bottle."


Lawshe is a Republican. I know, shocker. Anyway, good job by this little GIRL not to let those individuals stop her in life.

This from another site...

"So emblematic of our world. Old republican white community leader intentionally using buzzwords he thinks will provoke a police response on his next door neighbors who KNOW who he is… meanwhile the little girl is straight up doing free environmental work on the neighborhood’s trees…

this is why the world is burning.

My only hope is this up and coming generation"


"He just admitted, on tape, that he is afraid of a 9 yr old girl walking around catching butterflies. Cowardice doesn’t even begin to describe how utterly small this man is.

Fearful, angry, and hateful. But he doesn’t get any sith powers after falling into the bigoted side. He will just be forever know as the bigot that called the police because he was afraid of a 9 yr old girl performing community service.

I hope his fear in this incident becomes a Karen meme"

"Telling 911 that there's a woman causing a problems puts the idea into first responders' heads that use of force may be necessary. That's exactly what that dickhead was hoping for. No need to put it on his conscience when he can have others do the killings for him."

"Literally hoped they gunned her down, no other reason to use that kind of language. He knew exactly what he was doing"

Sad.

 

Just doing his civic duty........

 

Ahh yes, more fake claims racism. media doing overtime with it lately lol.

Racism is terrible, and I hope we get passed it as a society. Unfortunately most of it that exists, which is very little, targets white people.

 

Gordon Lawshe will never-ever live this down, nor should he.
Bobbi has lived across the street from him for 8 YEARS.
He took the "fragile white guy"to new heights. lol

Who cares if a woman called the cops on her? She obviously thought he person was doing grafitti. This is a sad attempt at race baiting. Got nothing better to do?

 

Ah more denials from those who support it.

Who do you want to pass it to?

 

Was that ******* in drag?

Yea, invisible graffiti is a big problem, especially by little girls that one knows as a neighbor. Any more moronic excuses?

 

Huh? it says right in the OP "spraying stuff on the sidewalks and trees"

How is that a "moronic excuse"? I'm referencing text that was in the OP

If it was a little white girl would this even be news?

This is just more sad race baiting on politicalforums

 

Clearly the caller didn't.

 

again, this is only news because of the races. If they were swapped. it would have never been news, therefore its 100% irrelevant

 

Plus she's black so we need to prop her up as high as we possibly can socially so we can all see that she's black.

Did you know she was black? And sometimes, on rare occasions, black people do good things! See? She's black and she did something good!

Meanwhile;



Some poor 9 year old Latino girl was beaten for being "too white" and we won't be honoring her anytime soon. The suspects? We will just call them "students" race is not important and absolutely holds no value to the story. We will even pay to use a stock photo of white kids just to be safe, because we certainly don't want you to know the racial identities of the attackers!

But did I mention that the girl who collected lanternflies was BLACK?!

 

Can the political correctors get anymore lame? Before, they wouldn't have given a single **** about this girl.

 

See she's black though! And sometimes black people do good things! Did I mention she's black?

 

Where in the OP is graffitti mentioned?

If it was a white little girl it would not be news because that bigoted ******* would not have called 911.

 

Yea, that is racism.

 

Oh, but it would have been far too dangerous to actually ask the girl, what she was doing. Completely reasonable, to expect that might lead the 9 year old, to beat him to a pulp.
Truly pathetic.

Truly concerning. And, if that was honestly his hope, utterly contemptible.

 

Can't you understand that, since he does know her, he can predict what filth, she must be putting into her invisible graffiti?


Thanks for making me laugh-- funny post!

 

Considering the Tamir Rice shooting and how it's not impossible that that could've been the end result here, of course it is. But you should definitely blame the 911 caller who thought it was an appropriate use of their time to call about a 9-year old girl.

 

No, because her adult male neighbor (and city councilman) would not have called 911!

That is the point!

 

911 called on lemonade-selling kids in Gig Harbor. Deputies make purchases, not arrests





Well there goes your point.

 

again, this is a pathetic race baiting thread trying to push the narrative this lady only called the cops because of skin color. Unfortunately, you have NO way to prove this. It isn't like she called and said "there's a little black girl on the lose'
You guys crack me up with your desperate race baiting attempts.
please keep entertaining me!

 

How does that negate anything?

 

It was a ****ing guy who made the call. At least get that straight, if you still have to make excuses for bigotry.

 

Where is the bigotry part? Calling cops on someone other than a white person makes it "bigotry"? please explain your amazing logic here. I look forward to learning.
