Mia Frias-Russell was clearly terrified when she posted a shocking almost numbing video on Facebook July 20, 2016. The post has since gone viral. In the video, Mia shows us scenes of her backyard in Campbellsburg, Indiana, which she found in the morning after waking up. It’s as if we’ve fallen back to the 19th and 20th centuries. And this was after someone tried to run Mia off the road earlier in the week.

Mia added
(With broken speech) That’s what I woke up to. I live in Campbellsburg, Indianna, which is about 45-minutes from Kentucky.
(Crying) I’m scared. I don’t have any friends over here, so... I don’t know who could have done this. Just yesterday, I almost got ran off the road…
She is terrified and that’s the prominent goal of terrorists here and abroad. How does one ever feel safe in their home after something like this?
It’s hard to express the anger and sinking feeling that came over me after seeing these scenes from the video. This is promised nation by our Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s. This is not to say this doesn’t and hasn’t happened — it’s to say this kind of terrorism may just be legitimized in a Trump world as it’s an example of the hate crimes he has incited and the lack of human decency. And he wants to become the president of the United States — a leader in the world?
No.

Liza: If you can leave ~ LEAVE. Don't create more DRAMA by buying a gun. You won't change the mid-west. What happened is horrible. However, you're young and gifted! There are many supportive environments and communities where you can live ~ or an apt where supportive friends are nearby. Do not continue to live alone in that environment. I am sorry to say, with Trump ideologies, conditions are getting worse. You are BEAUTIFUL ~ use your personal power and move. Sending you Strength, Love and Clarity at this difficult time. You can do it.
I’m not sure if there is any type of GoFundMe campaign or fundraiser and I will post it if/when I find one. I’ve contacted the county sheriff’s office. They are doing an investigation and will be sending a report. Meanwhile, you can call the county sheriff’s office for Campbellsburg, Indiana and ask that a full and thorough investigation be made — and the guilty parties be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. (Please keep in mind the police are helping here. and I can only ask they be treated with respect.) Their number is (812) 246-05425.
No one in America should be driven out of their home. No one should have to experience such intimidation. If Trump wins in November, we can be sure to see more White on Black/Brown hate crimes like this in America. This is not the America we want.
