What "crime" was actually committed? That fact that she's a racist ######bag doesn't mean she did anything illegal . . . I'm on the fence about this one.

EDIT: Disturbing the peace, sure, I can get that.
What she said does constitute a criminal offence in the UK. You could argue that the law and interpretation of it goes too far, and I certainly would, but I wouldn't bother defending this woman. At the very least I'd say she engaged in behavior likely to result in a breach of the peace.

Her behavior is particularly disturbing given that she was in charge of a young child.
