The story began last May on Lake Shirley in Lunenburg, MA. Competitive fisherman Sheron Brown was out on a boat with his young daughter, Azaylia, enjoying the day on th public waterway, until their peace was interrupted by 67-year-old David McPartlan who began yelling from his property, claiming they "shouldn't be fishing there."
The situation escalated quickly with McPartlan hurling a large rock toward the boat and followed it with a barrage of racial slurs. The entire incident was captured on video which help in getting McPartlan arrested but that wasn't the last the Brown's would hear of McPartlan.
According to court records, McPartlan allegedly attempted to take things further by trying to bribe one of his own employees to find the family's home and use a sledgehammer to destroy the Brown's boat's engine. When the employee refused to participate in the retaliatory scheme, McPartlan reportedly fired him.
The details of how this case moved from a lakeside dispute to a high-stakes criminal retaliation plot are truly disturbing. It raises a major question: How far can hate go before the system truly intervenes?
