‘Racist’ Woman Who Stabbed Joe Jackson’s Granddaughter Charged with Hate Crime

*In an earlier EURweb report, we told you about Joe Jackson’s 25-year-old granddaughter, Yasmine Jackson, being the victim of a racially charged attack in Las Vegas. 

Yasmine detailed the harrowing experience in an Instagram post, noting that the woman stabbed her seven times. She also included gruesome injury photos (see below) 

“This woman chased me down and started stabbing me. She said it’s because I was a n—-r and that’s all I could hear while I was being stabbed. I can’t move my neck at all. I’m scared to be alone,” Yasmine captioned the images of her face and neck injuries.

Her assailant, 22-year-old Angela Bonnell, was initially charged with felony battery with a deadly weapon. The charges were later elevated to attempted murder.

Now, according to KSNV, Bonnell’s has also been slapped with a hate crime charge.

She’s currently being held on a $100,000 bail, PEOPLE reports.

I was stabbed 7 times right by my house because “I’m a nigger”. This woman chased me down and started stabbing me. She said it’s because I was a nigger and that’s all I could hear while I was being stabbed. I can’t move my neck at all. I’m scared to be alone. I asked people to help me because she was stabbing me and nobody helped. Until someone did, actually a few people did & I am thankful for you. I pray to God that if you have any kind of hatred in your heart towards black people that you heal it. I didn’t deserve this, nobody does. Oh & btw I’m still fucking proud to be black. @shaunking , please help me. They only are charging her with a felony battery with a deadly weapon.

“I asked people to help me because she was stabbing me and nobody helped,” she wrote in a May 30 Instagram post. “Until someone did, actually a few people did & I am thankful for you. I pray to God that if you have any kind of hatred in your heart towards black people that you heal it. I didn’t deserve this, nobody does.”

Yasmine reached out to civil rights activist Shaun King, asking him for help when authorities were only charging the racist attacker with “felony battery with a deadly weapon.”

“I feel like she deserves attempted murder and also this is a HATE CRIME,” she continued. “SHE CALLED ME A N—-R & THERE ARE WITNESSES.”

In a follow-up post, Yasmine noted that charges had been upgraded to attempted murder.

Jasmine’s mother, Joh’Vonie Jackson, also shared the injury photos of her daughter, along with the caption:  “Look what this Woman did to my daughter @yasminejackson_ she tried to kill my daughter for being Black,” Joh’Vonie wrote. “My daughter has a good heart and has dedicated her time as a nurse to help others. She did not deserve this!”
