Helter Skelter
Pittsburgh anchorwoman sues TV station, saying she was fired because she's white
She commented on the March 9 shooting of five black people in the poor Pittsburgh suburb of Wilkinsburg.
"You needn't be a criminal profiler to draw a mental sketch of the killers who broke so many hearts," Bell wrote March 21. "They are young black men, likely in their teens or in their early 20s. They have multiple siblings from multiple fathers and their mothers work multiple jobs. These boys have been in the system before. They've grown up there. They know the police. They've been arrested."
Bell's comments sparked a backlash from some who saw her words as racist, but also drew defenders who found her post honest. Bell is seeking back pay, punitive damages and her old job.
