In the clip, which Lafayette City Court Judge Michelle Odinet confirmed to be in her home, witnesses jokingly toss around racial slurs while narrating home security footage of their efforts to stop a man from breaking into a car on their driveway.

There are multiple references to “mom” throughout the video and her role during the burglary in progress.

“And mom’s yelling n*****, n*****,” says one male voice, to which another female voice responds: “We have a n *****, It’s a n*****, like a roach.”

“Lost his wallet,” says one voice. “That’s my phone where it fell out,” says another. “Going get the gun,” can be heard. “The dude had a phone on him,” chimes in a female voice. “I should have taken his phone from him, that f****** ass****.”

I love her statement.

My children and I were the victim [sic] of an armed burglary at our home. The police were called and the assailant was arrested. The incident shook me to my core and my mental state was fragile. I was a wreck and am still unable to sleep. I was given a sedative at the time of the video. I have zero recollection of the video and the disturbing language used during it. Anyone who knows me and my husband, knows this is contrary to the way we live our lives. I am deeply sorry and ask for your forgiveness and understanding as my family and I deal with the emotional aftermath of this armed burglary.

She and her children were so "shaken to their cores" they sat up laughing while watching the video of it probably a multitude of times calling the man a nigger on multiple occasions.

Uh huh. Sure. Right.

I was so traumatized it turned me into a racist.
