Women heard in viral neighborhood video speak out to WLTX Two Black women who happened to be walking through their neighborhood when they came upon a white Fort Jackson soldier harassing a Black man are speaking out.
As previously reported, viral video of the incident shows non-commissioned Army soldier
Jonathan Pentland of Fort Jackson berating a Black man walking down the sidewalk and shouting at him to leave the Columbia, South Carolina neighborhood known as The Summit. At one point, Pentland shoves the man. He’s since been charged with third-degree assault.
Shadae McCallum, who lived in the neighborhood and filmed the video, said that the Black man was first confronted by women in the neighborhood who accused him of bullying their children, which prompted Pentland to come out of the house and confront the Black man.
