Slightly OT... what is the origin of the "Karen" thing? Did a real Karen make some really big deal out of nothing?
That said, I would be fearing for my life once the lady called the cops. The dude did nothing wrong from what I can tell.
Edit:
She's getting a vacation out of this? WTF?

To all the people wondering why he pulled his phone out and started recording, please read the rest of her thread:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_(slang)
and white privilege is just like the thin blue lines, there will always be people defending Karens.
Remember the woman that called the police on the black people for BBQ'ing was a PHD Stanford Grad and Project Manager. "Permit Patti" was a CEO of a company.
These are usually well educated women that know exactly what they are doing. And they probably would tell you they voted for Obama twice, too.
They're not working. She's also pretty high up. Those folks have contracts, you need HR to put together a separation agreement.
So sad/frustrating that both of you are right.
even in this thread, some people are more concerned about the dog.
This the same energy that got Emmet Till murdered. Fuck this scumbag piece of shit.
That’s the point of white supremacy: To allow white folks to have dominion over non-white folks.
I mean, white people like dogs...
Goodbye career.

Was just about to post this thread. A must read if you really want to understand why what this woman did was so heinous, and why a man who understands the justice system in this instance would immediately pull out his phone and start recording.
And that’s why things will never change. You can’t fight fire with fire and as it stands that’s a war we will lose ad Infinitum
Well this is terrible but I am so glad the guy recorded it for the world to see.
This will haunt that racist lady for the rest of her days.

Yeah it was.
I'm conflicted about using mob justice against an individual but this video makes my blood boil and I'm seeing better arguments for calling attention to who she is and where she works than ignoring it. She actively tried to get the guy recording it shot and she doesn't have kids to feed, so *shrug*
fucking administrative leave? are you fucking kidding me. Goddamn this shit is disgusting.

She better be out by the morning. "Administrative leave" is some bullshit. Hopefully they're just filling out the paperwork

Apparently she's Canadian as well.
Making us look good smh.
Honestly they should investigate her conduct at work. Chances are she pulled shit there as well.
This ain't her first time.

Sounds about white.

Yea white tears never felt right with me as a black kid growing up. That cry for help Hathaway did in rises scared me how easy it was
She knew what she was doing. Attempted murder, straight up.
That "administrative leave" better become a firing once the dust settles, because this is as point blank as it gets. He said nothing, moved nowhere, yet the woman kept getting more hysterical, asking for police to intervene.
What a sick fuck.

This thread is about a horrific display of white privilege and systemic racism. Diverting the discussion away from this is extremely inappropriate and tone deaf at best. Posts that attempt to derail or hijack the thread with white fragility and false equivalencies will be met with moderation.
Say less.

I don't think there's any chance she doesn't get fired.
This just happened a few hours so they're probably dotting their i's and crossing their T's. Can you imagine destroying their company's PR for one person? Nah, she's donezo.
It’s frightening how it’s not all that dissimilar to the tactics that got Emmit Till lynched 60+ years ago. The more things change...
I have no doubt she’ll be fired. I’m sure there’s some paperwork that has to be filed and this did blow up over over Memorial Day when the branch was supposed to be closed probably. They’ll get in the office tomorrow and work out her dismissal. The company is probably pissed and embarrassed from all the negative attention she has brought on due to her racism. No respected business wants to be associated with someone like her
If the lady was so afraid of being fined, she should have just calmly said to the man, "Sorry, I am feeling anxious and not thinking straight. I won't do it again".
But nah, she had to go full white privilege mode. While choking her dog, because that's a normal thing to do.

This is a bit unfair. We know the person filming the video is alive and okay.
But we also know that if she treats the dog like that on video, she treats the dog like that on a regular basis. Showing sympathy for the dog is perfectly fine here. Doesn't mean they care more about the dog than the human but we know the human is okay.
I understand the need to investigate but motherfuckers shouldn’t be put on administrative leave for attempted murder. She knew exactly what she was doing by describing him as African American.
if it was a white person though...

Prolly gonna get dog piled here but what’s the point of this comment?
What mob justice? No one is going to her house and kicking her ass.
FFS...
What’s the point of white supremacy?
You can’t just fire a person a national holiday when everyone, including HR is out.
She’s all over Twitter too. This blowing up like crazy. I can’t see her staying with the company.
This is gonna be a huge story. Way more than any Karen story before.
This is about my experience with middle age white women in Canada. They can turn on the fake tears fake fear real fucking quick lol. I don't fear being shot though which is a major plus.
I specifically meant the Twitter thread in the post I was quoting, which was specifically dealing with white women weaponizing their whiteness against black men and not seeing justice.
Priorities.
I think this is important, it's very hard to weed every racist dickbag in the US, but we can work on dismantling the way they can inflict harm and terror on minorities.
I'll bet you they would have voted for Obama a third time if they could.
OP
OP
I mean wouldn't HR have been the ones to imitate the administrative leave?
That’s probably an easier decision for her superiors to make quickly since it’s ostensibly paid leave. Actually getting rid of her will take some doing.
That’s true. Animal abuse is inexcusable and a crime. She was trying to kill this man, the dog is safe to.
Well that is one good part of the story so far. Glad the dog is away from her.
Now the rest of this story better be her getting fired. She should even be fined for make a false police report.
All white people have benefited from it. All white people at some point can take advantage of it. Shit like this has gotten a LOT of black men and women butchered over the centuries. 2020 and still going on now.
