A clear case of a horrific racial attack against an elderly white woman by a gang of five black people has been largely ignored.
Now murder charges have been filed against four of the five, as the woman has died from the attack.
On August 4, 83-year-old Dorothy Dow, a white woman in Atlanta, Georgia, was asleep in her bed when a group of five black people broke into her home, yanked her from her bed, hit her repeatedly with a pistol until they broke her arm and bones in her hand, then doused her in a flammable liquid and set her on fire.
Dow managed to save herself by crawling to a jug of water she had on the floor and pouring it on herself.
“With one hand broken and her arm broken in four places, she pulled the top off of a gallon of water, poured it over her head and put out the fire,” said Dorothy’s daughter-in-law Beth Dow. “She then drug herself into the den on her broken arms to get to her cellphone to call 911. She said, ‘I thought they were going to kill me’. They told her that she was never going to see her sons again.”
Family members say she had been on a ventilator since the attack. But due to the extent of her injuries and severe burns, she later passed away.
