HAYWARD -- A woman was arrested Saturday after allegedly jumping on stage at a music festival and attacking a legendary musician after he dedicated a song to Trayvon Martin, according to police and eyewitnesses.

The woman, who police identified as 43-year-old Dinalynn Andrews Potter of Barstow, apparently yelled, "it's all your fault" before shoving 73-year-old Lester Chambers, his family said Sunday.

Chambers told the audience if Mayfield were around today, he'd change the lyrics "there's a train a comin'" to "there's a change a comin,'" his wife Lola Chambers told this newspaper Sunday.

"She must have been an acrobat. She did it in one leap. He didn't see her coming," Lola Chambers said.

Eyewitnesses and Hayward police said people on stage subdued Andrews Potter after she allegedly shoved Chambers. Though the police investigation into a motive continues, family members believe the attack was racially motivated and was a result of Chambers' mention of Martin. The family is pressing police to file hate crime charges.

1. I hope she suffers some consequences for her despicable actions.

This shit is unimaginable. What the hell is the matter with people?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. Rednecks have gone INSANE...

They spent EIGHT YEARS of Cowboy Bush telling everyone it was TREASON to criticize the Commander In Chief during a time of war and hating "Teh Queerz" and thinking Country and Western was America,...to seeing those they were told were out and out TRAITORS are now in charge of America,...and to top it off they now have a black guy in their White House. Then they get all set to toss em out and what do they see from their party? A rich Wall Street city slicker who's not even a christian who doesn't give a DAMN about them.

Is it any wonder they've gone crazy?

[Ken Burch]

2. How the hell does she figure it's all HIS fault?

And what does she mean by "all"?

[Gormy Cuss]

19. "all" probably means "you people."

I think you can guess which people that would be. It's all *their* fault for pointing out inequities in our society.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. "All" as in "All of the pain of White People"...

You know they've had it really ROUGH with all the false accusations of being racist that the ni**ers are tossing out there.

3. Barstow? Sounds like some of our conservanut desert tweaker trash.

[itsrobert]

14. She's sitting out in the desert and all she can pick up on the radio

is KFI AM 640, home of Rush with her tinfoil hat as her radio antenna.

[ornotna]

17. You're probably right

Here she is.

22. Dinalynn .........

[Spitfire of ATJ]

26. Barstow and Bakersfield are famous for their white trash meth heads....

I never could understand why speed is so popular in a place where there is nothing to do.

I asked someone once and he said he just would lay in a lounge chair in his back yard and watch the stars go by overhead.

Which leads me to wonder what Abraham smoked.

[frazzled]

4. People Get Ready

with Lester Chambers and The Chambers Brothers.

[dawn frenzy adams]

7. Frazzled!

Thank you dear.

[SoCalMusicLover]

5. Where's The Crime?

It's not like she shot him. Of course, that's not necessarily a crime either.

Just sayin'

<sarcasm>

[greiner3]

30. Me thinks;

Your 'sarcasm' fail needs to get the sarcasm icon.

Just saying' (sic)

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

6. Probably drunk or high

[NaturalHigh]

23. My thought too when I saw the photo.

Looks like she's coming down from a good tweaking, possibly aided by some alcohol.

[dawn frenzy adams]

8. Snark

She attacked him! Don't you get it? Why, she was just standing her ground.

[KT2000]

9. must have just come from church!

the kind that teaches congregants who to hate this week!

[TxDemChem]

10. That is some crazy shit

My husband and I are wondering who is going to say or do something stupid tomorrow at work regarding the verdict. But who knew a concert would draw that sort of reaction!

[red dog 1]

11. Thanks to Hissyspit for posting this.

According to Wikipedia, the 2010 U.S. census found that Barstow had 11,840 Caucasians, and only 477 blacks.

I'm glad the Chambers family "is pressing police to file hate crime charges."

IMO, this crazy, racist woman needs to be behind bars and charged with assault and battery.

[JI7]

12. Barstow stood out to be also , i was wondering if there was another barstow

racists shouldn't be going to blues festivals in the first place

[red dog 1]

20. No, They should be going to Ted Nugent concerts.

[LiberalFighter]

32. And be loaded for bear.

[red dog 1]

33. My concept of hell is being stuck at a Ted Nugent concert that goes on forever

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Bullies always attack those weaker. 43 yo blindsides 73 yo. Cowards.

This happens at all levels. The 1% attack any segment of the 99% they feel are weak enough to suppress. Their knuckle-dragging followers do the same on a physical level.

[LarryNM]

21. +1 n/t

[nolabear]

15. Thanks for the follow up. I'm glad she was arrested.

[Festivito]

16. Another George Zimmerman going overboard to protect us from what is'nt.

Sadly, there will be more.

[NBachers]

18. "It Isn't Nice" Barbara Dane with the Chambers Brothers

Please, please listen

My heart swells whenever I hear the Chambers Brothers

[diane in sf]

27. Thank you, I'm feeling some healing from events in this music.

[alp227]

28. Well she was just STANDING HER GROUND, RIGHT????

So she deserves a Zimmerman GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD.

[HooptieWagon]

29. So is California being added to the boycott list?

Its going to get pretty long.

[WilliamPitt]

31. "It's all your fault" is what makes this art.
