Outrageous Encounter: Black Father and Daughter Targeted with Racial Slurs and Large Rocks While Fishing

A fishing trip for a Black father and his daughter took a distressing turn when a white man confronted them on a dock, hurling rocks and racial slurs. Sheron Brown recounted the incident at Lake Shirley in Lunenberg, Massachusetts, noting his 10-year-old daughter, Azaylia, was present. The duo aimed to enjoy a leisurely day, having picked up pizza beforehand. However, 66-year-old David McPartlan questioned their right to fish in that area, despite other boats nearby. Brown attempted to reassure McPartlan they were keeping their distance from his property. Instead, McPartlan unleashed a torrent of abuse, culminating in him throwing a rock at Brown’s boat. After Brown contacted authorities, McPartlan faced charges of assault. Brown expressed concern over the emotional effects on his daughter, highlighting an unsettling aspect of their otherwise welcoming community.
