White woman who racially abused and spit on Black doorman will spend Christmas in jail

A woman who was caught on video hurling racial insults and spitting at a Black pub doorman in the UK will spend Christmas behind bars, the Daily Mail reports.

The incident was captured on video and later went viral. The video shows Sharna Walker, 25, flying into a rage and yelling at the doorman, 26-year-old Tristan Price, who she referred to as a “black c***” and “f***ing n***er” as other people looked on. At one point, she violently slams the pub doors shut and spits in Price’s direction while walking away.

The confrontation took place outside Wetherspoon’s Figure of Eight bar on Birmingham’s Broad Street on May 22. Walker was jailed this Monday after she pleaded guilty to racially aggravated common assault and criminal damage.

“This was prolonged assault and you used a door against Mr Price shoulder. The incident has stayed with Mr Price and he has had to seek help,” District Judge John Bristow told Walker during her sentencing.

“Mr Price has forgiven you, down to his faith, he is Godfearing. I also accept you have kept out of trouble since May,” the judge continued. “I have no doubt the footage caused serious distress throughout Birmingham. You are a risk to the public; the appropriate punishment is immediate custody. This conduct was serious — only immediate custody is justified.”

From the Daily Mail:

The court heard bouncer Mr Price, 26, was working on the door of the pub when he was alerted to four women being rowdy at around 9.30pm.

Prosecutor Sarah Woulfe said: ‘Mr Price went to the group, which included Ms Walker, and asked them to leave but they claimed they had lost a mobile phone.

‘Mr Price helped look for the phone but it could not be found. He saw Ms Walker do something out of the corner of his eye.

‘He was notified by his manager that Ms Walker had taken a drink from her glass and spat the contents towards Mr Price’s back.

‘Hearing this he asked her to leave immediately. Ms Walker pushed tables as she exited the venue causing damage.

‘As she got to the door, she smashed the glass and hinges.
