Last week a 23-year-old Black woman, Rayme McCoy was attacked by an irate white man who was in an argument with someone else.
Kevin Troy Williamson, 59, was arrested Friday and is charged with battery.
McCoy says that Williamson was shouting off all types of racist slurs and approached her while she was standing at the register to pay. Upon asking him to give her some space, he replied that he had his firearm in his car.

“SO AT THAT POINT, I FELT THREATENED,” MCCOY SAID. “HE PUT HIS BEERS ON THE COUNTER IN FRONT OF MY STUFF AND I SLID THEM OVER AND AT THAT POINT, THAT’S WHEN HE STARTED PUNCHING ME IN THE FACE.”

You may find the video below disturbing. It isn’t bloody but it is violent. Press play at your own risk.

“I WAS LITERALLY SHOCKED,” SHE SAID. “AFTER THE FIRST HIT, YOU CAN SEE MY MOUTH DROP. AFTER ACTUALLY SEEING THE VIDEO IT’S JUST SHOCKING TO SEE THERE WAS OTHER PEOPLE THERE AND NOBODY DID ANYTHING.”

Two witnesses were interviewed by the police and a week passed before an arrest was made. Also despite the fact that Williamson, was spewing racist slurs, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is not classifying this attack as a hate crime.

Travis Scott’s New Nike Sneaker Receives 1 Million Entries in 30 Minutes

Travis Scott’s comeback is in full effect.

Just days after returning to the stage at the Billboard Music Awards, the Houston rapper surprised fans with his first Nike drop of 2022.

The Cactus Corp. collection includes apparel and Travis’ take on the Air Trainer 1. In order to give fans a better shot at scoring the sneakers, which come in “grey haze” and “chocolate” colorways, he launched a raffle. A source close to Travis tells TMZ that over one million people signed up in just 30 minutes of the raffle launch.

The collection, inspired by the “the workwear seen in Texas,” also includes rain jackets, hiking pants, and insulated vests. It was originally slated to arrive in December, but was postponed in the wake of the Astroworld festival, which resulted in 10 deaths.

Travis’ relationship with Nike started in 2017 with the release of his first Air Force 1 design. Throughout the years, they have collaborated on popular releases including the Air Jordan 33, Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 6, and the SB Dunk.

If there was doubt whether he has the same pull with fans, the entire Cactus Corp. collection sold out within minutes. Travis shared a message of gratitude after the drop, writing, “Emotions high. Love u guys.”

He is reportedly planning more Nike drops next week, including an Air Max next Friday.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Travis is awarding $1 million in scholarships to 100 students at HBCUs. Each soon-to-be grad who finishes their final semester with at least a 3.5 GPA will receive a $10,000 scholarship from Travis’ Waymon Webster Scholarship Fund.

On Sunday, he made his first television appearance since Astroworld at the Billboard Music Awards where he performed “Mafia” and debuted his new song “Lost Forever.”
