Police Say Car Full of Black Men Gunned Down Woman After She Confronted Them About Speeding

A 40 year old woman was fatally shot on Saturday after she  confronted a car full of black men about speeding through her mobile Alabama neighborhood, according to police. The incident allegedly took place at around 6PM on Saturday.

The woman, Wendy Fisher, was shot in the chest, according to police spokeswoman Ashley Rains.

Rains says that four black men were speeding down Racine Ave. in West Mobile, Alabama, when Fisher confronted them about speeding through the area. The men fired multiple shots before Fisher was fatally wounded.

The car, a green Honda or Nissan Altima,  sped away from the scene after the shooting.

    Such a tragic act of unnecessary violence. I hope those thugs get caught and rot in jail for life.

    My heart goes out to this lady. Sounds as if she was an involved community member who was attempting to make her community and neighborhood safe. But, I wonder if she had been assaulted by a car load of white males, would the race of the assailants have been relevent to the report. I think that those who perpetrated that act are criminals, thugs, hoodlooms, and possibly even scum. All those types come in and are common to every race. The wording has the strange feel of ‘Dogwhistle’ messaging. God Bless that Courageous Lady!

      I don’t believe this is a black/white issue. It’s about one human being concerned about the safety of children in her neighborhood and was killed by some “thugs” plain and simple.
      May she rest in paradise. She did not deserve that.

    God bless this woman’s family.
    But who made the report, her or witnesses? I question it because the “four Black men speeding” in Mobile, Alabama sounds mighty suspicious to me. As Nate says, “dogwhistle” even.

    Very tragic yes her right to say something yes indeed. I know there are vicious people in this world who’re not going to listen to a country white woman yelling at them like she’s crazy. They disrespected her neighbourhood yes so she confronts and then most likely verbally disrespected these thugs. What she should have done was get the lisence plate numbers and called the cops pronto they would have caught the guys and found the weapons case closed and the brave but foolish woman would still be alive. When you know your people rule the world you develop a certain arrogance about yourself a superiority complex that tells you the you can confront anyone at anytime and they should hang their head in shame simply because your the dominat race. Millions of White people feel that way about everything on this planet ( the jungles the mountains the sea’s and all gods creatures ) you think for one minute they don’t think the same way about other races of people then your more than foolish . They climb the tallest mountains without chains to prove this, they tame or kill every ferocious animal on this and any other continent to get what they want. They had to nearly exterminate the one true threat they ever really faced that was the american Indian. And yes they had it worst than all of us at one time. I’m rambling on a bit but I know what I’m talking about. Seen any Indians around lately.

      Ceemespeak, I like your comment. I feel “sort of” bad that the woman is dead but she had to have been on meth to confront a carload of young black men. The white person thinks that they have an entitlement that allows them to do anything that they want as you mentioned in your comment. She should have called the police if she had a complaint. Oops, her bad!

      Hey, I may have said the same thing to either Black or White thugs racing in the streets, and I’m not White and have no superiority complex. This woman’s murderers should get life in prison. And if they are, in fact, Black, I believe that somebody WILL turn state’s evidence and talk . . . real soon!

    There is something suspicious about this story. How do the police know the murderers are black men? Second, why in the world would this woman confront a car full of men if they were speeding down the street? What made her think these men would obey her orders or what have you? Sorry to say, but this sounds like a classic case of white entitlement gone wrong.

      THANK YOU. I agree with you. This story sounds like bull.

      People are still as racist as I-son’t0-know-what in Alabama, and we don’t know if the woman shot at “them” first, called them “n*****s,” or what. I would like to know how the police seem to know anything, and why they need to say that the men were Black, when after white people commit crimes, the race is seldom stated.

      Racists are trying to get Whites riled up, and nothing does it better than using the age-old lie about Black men harming White women.

    I dont feel bad at all for her. If someone speeds through my neighborhood “oh well” Its no ones job but the police yo handle those type of situations. People need to learn to mind their own business!! If she would have kept her nosey a*s comments to herself she would have lived to see today. She was probably one of those people who always complained and caught them on a bad day. Lesson learned….mind YOUR BUSINESS!!

    My prayers are with Miss Fisher and her family. She stud up order to do the right thing and therefore for that reason she is no longer with us. The issue here should not be race, and this type of acts should not be tolerated. Those involved should be brought to justice; the punishment should be severe enough to send a strong message to all those out there terrorizing our communities that these type of acts will not be tolerated!

    Why in the world is race even an issue with this story?! It doesnt matter who was black and who was white…a woman was shot and killed and four murderers are running at large. Murder is murder and the criminals should get what’s coming to them. A senseless act and terrible tragedy. I pray for the victims family.

    Why is it that, because she was white, people think she felt intitaled or superior to the speeders? Doesn’t everyone have the right to say something about something unsafe in their neighborhood? Yes, she definatly should’ve just called in the license number…confronting a car full of anyone (black or white) was not the brightest thing to do. But stop playing the race card. She didn’t feel superior because she was white and they were black,that’s nonsense …i dont think she gave a d**n who they were, she just wanted to stop somebody from getting hurt.

    Treat people like you want to be treated! To hear some of the comments blaming the woman for her own death based on her being white and arrogant, well you are wrong if it happened the way it happened. People are so lazy the don’t take the time to look up the incident. Her daughter witness the murder, many on her ask who witnessed it do so homework. Poor woman screamed at a car speeding down her residential street after almost hit her pet. Even if they were not at fault shooting an unarmed person of any race is a coward act.

    To the question of if the men in the car were in fact black is another story? It would not be the first time that blacks have been used as a cover for crimes that whites have committed.

    I don’t know what the f is wrong with most of you posting, all this ridiculouos race-baiting speculation, but here is the real story here: Today’s jerk, thug, d******d, a*****e, whatever race creed or color think an appropriate response to a scolding is to murder the person scolding you. h**l-f*****g-O, dipshits. And you’re p*****g and whining about superior races and white priveledge? You need your f*****g brains washed out with soap for being such a myopic bunch of losers. The reason the authorities released a description of the perpetrators is the same reason they realeased a description of the car; to help CATCH THE MURDERERS!! Oh wait!! I know!! The real race issue is the Honda, or possibly Nissan… How do they know for sure it wasn’t a Ford or a Chevy… *GASP* It’s an anti-Japanese car racist plot to smear the Japanese car industry!!! Warn your friends!!! Murderers drive Japanese cars!!! Be a good American, drive an American car. I mean after all, you don’t want people to think you’re a j*p-car loving murderer, do you?

    Pets are…. NOT…. more important than your life, and screaming out at a moving vehicle was stupid..knowing or not knowing they might stop and react…common sense tells you to get the plates and called the police and report the the person…I am sure most folks has a cell phone…..Sounds like the lady was more concern about her pet than herself…white and arrogant sound like a fair statement…Hope she pull thur this and learn from her dum mistakes….

      It was probably just a natural reaction, on the fly. If they almost hit her dog she was most likely standing very close and almost got hit herself.

    Key word to the person in MT…..”reservation”….I have been to many of them!….who created them? This is a tragedy, no matter what race. I hope they are found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I hope this serves as a lesson to others who may find themselves in this same situation. People are crazy, on “crazy” drugs, lack values and morals…..anything is possible. Our outrage and contempt sometimes needs to be left to LE…..afterall, we do pay their salaries. I wish she would have taken the advice of one poster here and just simply taken down the license number and called it in….and I hope she didn’t have that mentality suggested by several of you….hope she wasn’t ignorant enough to use the “N” word……just very sad what the world is coming to.

    Fishers story sounds kinda fishy to me, speeding car passes by and she somehow counted 4 black men. How did she jump in her car and catch up to do her count. How many bullets caseings were found at the scene, what calabers 22, 38 or 357 what? I guess it really don’t matter, sounds like when the lady drove her kids into the lake and said a black man did it. Then a man shot his wife in the chest and said a black man did a drive by shoting on his house, but when the police interviewed the kids, they said they heard a shot and their daddy told them to stay in their room as he went to the back yard, well the police went to the back yard and on the other side of the fence was the gun used to shot his wife.. Guess what their still looking for that black man in a black BMW

    It is very hard to believe black men speeding in the state of Alabama where the KKK resides and most of them are police or some other higher official. If it were so bad why did she not call the police to handle the situation? Instead of trying to do something herself, if I saw young men speeding in my community I would simply call the police its very simple to do instead of getting yourself in trouble. I don’t buy this one you got to come again with me with something else. Although it sounds like she wants a black man you know how caucasian women got this thing for black men, hummmmmm.

      I dont get why this is looked at as “white entitlement”. In my neighborhood there is an idiot that regularly drives his sports car so fast past my house that you cant make out what kind of car it is, let alone get his plate number. I have seen him before and he is Native. Does that mean the whole neighborhood keeps calling the cops because he’s Native? h**l NO! There’s kids playing and riding bikes all around and we don’t want anyone getting killed! Take the d**n thing to a deserted road and open it up, not through a neighborhood. Anyone is ‘entitled’ to say something to someone endangering the safety of others.

    We are living in difficult times. The Klan is as active as ever. The white militiamen supremacists are stock-piling weapons from Michigan to Arizona (even the police fear them) and the confederates in the south are dreaming of returning to pre-civil war days. The president of the United States is continually subjected to innuendo and bigoted diatribe while his wife and children are referred to as apes. The schools in our nation continues to present a glorified mantra of America’s history that supports the concept of white supremacy. Narcotics and weaponry are infused into cities where budget cuts have severed opportunities for jobs for young people who now have nothing to do, see Baltimore, Detroit and New York. Even college grads cannot expect much these days. They say it’s the president’s fault. The Super Pacs are now stuffing the campaign warchest of a robotic candidate whose off-shore personal accounts would even make former Harlem drug-kingpin Frank Lucas, proud. And the natives are told to behave. Peace.

    the outcome is very sad and I’m sorry the lady was shot and killed. I think it’s horrible that anyone would do that. a couple comments: if they were speeding so fast how did she even get out there to confront them. people speed down my street and i can’t get out of the house and down to the street before they’re gone – key words: speeding down the street…. she’s on foot…. did she run after them? I do think the article title is intended to rile up people racially; someone said above it’s not a black white thing; it is when the article makes a point of putting in the headline that they are black. if it wasn’t why mention it; a carload of 4 men, (even young men) gun down woman… there are a lot of adjectives you can use besides a person’s race, but here in US, that’s the first descriptor used when a person is black – especially for bad news. I just read an article where a young black man saved a woman and her two babies from the batman movie when her boyfriend jumped over the balcony to escape. they didn’t mention anybody’s race except the heroic young black man. i hope they catch the guys and they are punished to the full extent of the law.
    but i still don’t see how she could confront a speeding car – and i’m sure she said something inflammatory to them not just please slow down.

    First, I’m sad that a mother has lost her life… :-/
    I believe she had a right to confront the speeding car. People love their animals, sometimes more than humans.
    White people are especially protective of little critters.
    I have seen people go ape s**t in situations just like this one.

    Bottom line: we don’t know if she called them n****s, or a******s. This is America and we have rights. But exercising those rights can get you killed.
    By the government, or a car full of “Black men”.
    Black people don’t kill white people in Washington DC.
    This is some new s**t to me :-/
