Fil-Am nurse attacked for handing out food and water to BLM protesters in New Jersey

FORT LEE, NJ — All this Fil-Am nurse wanted was to hand out snacks and water to the protesters and the police during a black lives matter protest in Fort Lee.

“I wanted to show my support but I can’t be in a big crowd because we are still scared of COVID 19, reinfection and infection rate is going up… the only way I can show my support is by donating water and snacks to protesters.”

But instead of getting thanked for her good deed, Krystle Ann Batong and her friend had an unwelcome encounter with one of the locals.

“This other woman, screamed at us, at the top of her lungs, saying shame on you and claimed that we were paid actors to come to fort lee and cause division, and cause chaos.”

This is Melissa Osso, the woman who screamed at Batong – who went on Facebook live to report on exactly what she just did to the Filipina nurse.

“I’ve already been called a racist, because I called them out for being divisive, for providing water which Black Lives Matters usually does, they provide water at this events, it’s not organic, it’s infiltrated, it causes division in our town and I’m not standing for that.”

The screaming lady even confronted Batong for the second time to show the Filipina nurse to her Facebook live viewers.

“Here they’re providing water bottles, and they got their masks, see if you notice a commonality of shirts, you see the shirts, do you notice the commonality… there’s water.”

“Here they’re providing water bottles, and they got their masks, see if you notice a commonality of shirts, you see the shirts, do you notice the commonality… there’s water.”

“My initial reaction was shocked, we didn’t think this existed here but it did so… we were just confused, I was also just hurt and I was angry, I couldn’t understand why she was attacking us for just handing out water,” said Batong.

Batong said her attacker also harassed the peaceful BLM protesters.

“We want to end police brutality, we want accountability, want black lives to matter to everybody, it’s so sad for me to see someone so focused on conspiracy theory.”

Despite the screaming lady’s protesting the protesters, Batong said the BLM protest ended peacefully and without incident.
