"Months of tension between neighbors, fueled by frustration over a driver apparently speeding down a quiet street in Rohnert Park, exploded over the weekend in back-to-back racially charged confrontations that ended up being posted on social media. Clips from the seven-minute-long video drew comments throughout Sonoma County and beyond, with many condemning the actions of a man who spouted racial slurs. Those involved say there's more to the story than what was captured on the video."
"On Sunday, Melinda said the car "seemed to lose control" and almost hit her as she stood outside with her unleashed dog as her son Daniel Garber left her home in his red truck. Garber stopped his truck, got out, hit the sedan with his hand and yelled at the driver, who was out delivering food. After the driver apologized, Garber interrupted, saying "no" before uttering a racial slur usually directed at Black people, and saying to the driver, "I'll kill you.""
Months of neighbor tension over perceived speeding culminated in two racially charged confrontations recorded and posted online. A neighbor and her son confronted a driver in a white sedan after fearing the car lost control and almost hit the woman and her unleashed dog. The son, Daniel Garber, struck the sedan, shouted at the driver and, after an apology, used a racial slur usually directed at Black people and threatened to kill him. Garber then approached the Cabrera family, referenced ICE, entered their property while filming and repeatedly used a racial slur directed at people of Latino descent. The seven-minute video drew condemnation across Sonoma County and beyond.
