Threatening Neighbors

A Queens teenager is under arrest for threatening to kill her black neighbors children.

Christina Linder, 18, was arrested Sunday in the Richmond Hills section of Queens after neighbors called the police on her. Linder allegedly flashed a noose, shouted the N-word, and threatened to kill the neighbors black children.

The issues between the black neighbors and Linder exploded on Friday when they were summonsed following a brawl in front of the attached homes over a missing bike.

Two days later, Linder threatened Patricia Gilbert's children with a noose.

"It's a hate crime. The people next-door don't like us because we're black," said Gilbert. "They threatened to kill us and hang my babies with a noose."

"She said, 'I'm down with the Aryan Nation. I'm down with the Ku Klux Klan. These n------ need to die."

Linder even allegedly told NYPD detectives, "I'm going to kill those n------," while being hand cuffed.

Linder however claims she is not racist and her neighbors were the aggressors. She claims to not even know what a noose was.

They say I'm a racist, but my boyfriend is Puerto Rican, black and Dominican. We're a mixed-race family. Get real," she said. "She just wanted an excuse to fight me. I pressed charges against her for the fight on Friday. So they had to do this."

Linder was charged with second-degree harassment and aggravated harassment, both misdemeanors.
