In his tirade, Edward Cagney Mathews gave his address and challenged, “Come see me.” On Monday, about 100 people did.
Police in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey arrested a man who went on a six-minute racist tirade Friday against his neighbors, an interaction caught on camera that led to a community showdown on Monday.
“Learn your laws. This is not Africa or (inaudible) or wherever the f**k you were,” Edward Cagney Mathews says to his neighbor, who is Black. The man replies in their July 2 encounter, “I was born in America, sir … and I don’t give a f**k about you.”
When police arrived, Mathews, 45, told them they had no jurisdiction at his home, saying, “Go talk to these f**king n***ers.” When the officer tells Mathews to stop, he responds, “F**k you, go talk to the n***ers, and let ’em know what I’m all about and what f**king rights they have.”
When asked by an officer to stop talking and go back into his home, Mathews refused, claiming that he was standing on “common property.”
On the video capturing his tirade, he gave his address several times before walking away, issuing the challenge: “Come f**king see me.”
