Cops are not your personal airstrike force
Its unfortunate what happened to that woman at Central Park. More so for her than him, because despite having unleashed verbal violence in a misguided attempt to inflict harm, she ended up in worse situation than him.
Consider this: how does one manage to get banned form Central Park for life, piss off the American Birding Association, get fired, have your dog confiscated for abuse, spark an investigation for violating human rights, and get famous as the latest "Karen", in less than 48 hours? This would never sell as a work of fiction because it would be too unbelievable.
What she does remind me of are the soldiers that request airstrikes on donkeys. They see movement here and there and immediately conclude, without further investigation, that it must be the enemy; so they escalate to the highest level of threat. Like these soldiers, its as if certain types of women think they can walk about with a personal airstrike force three dials away to unleash its payload on the sighting of a black man who they immediately assume to present a threat.
Like the soldiers, when asked what they saw and where, they come short of details, and upon further inquiry their request is rejected, even though sometimes F-16s have been known to strafe imaginary targets, wasting resources and manpower that could be better used elsewhere, on legitimate targets.
For a big city, cops have a lot on their hands but Amy, Karen and Becky will escalate for no particular reason, even BIRDWATCHING—the most innocent, mundane, and quite frankly White thing a black dude could be doing.
What’s unfortunate, is the belief among these types of women that they hold the power to unleash hell on certain types of men when they feel the slightest of discomfort. It’s not their fault that this force has been made to be perceived as that to be their purpose.
It's also unfortunate that you don't believe in writing your point through multiple paragraphs. I have an easier time using the stool while on keto than reading your post.

1 - there's a dedicated thread for this already
2 - we know you've seen it because you make this exactly comment in the other thread
3 - people are accusing you of being racially tone deaf in the other thread
4 - why are you creating a new thread for this?
Shut the fuck up kid. You've had two racial posts taken down in the past week alone. Stay off this topic when you have no clue what you're talking about.
All one has to do is look at this guys MS to SB ratio. There's your answer.
Can’t fix ignorance
At least you're able to admit it. Better than most
Hah, this thread has been de-bumped already
Not worse for her at all. Fuck her. Doesn't deserve income. He was a victim of racism. I think it's very fortunate what happened to her. I hope it sticks around for a while--I have no sympathy.
There are times where the enemy fucks up so badly out of incompetence that the opposing side feels bad for them: Calling an airstrike on yourself, fratricide, firing the RPG on a target 10 meters away (ANA)...in other words its unfortunate for her because it backfired so badly in ways that she would never in a hundred years thought would happen to her. There's also something about misfortune coming at her from such an unexpected direction that it's actually beautiful.
This is a little different in my opinion. There is a difference between a mistake in the heat of the moment and common sense/awareness. She had plenty of opportunities to stop but kept going. Once you fire an RPG, you don't exactly have time to run ahead and grab it before it hits the wrong thing unless you can run at 300 meters per second.
Good point. Just like Afghans though, even after expensive training, still resort to the biggest thing they can fire along with everything they have, even after been taught over and over and over how to manage escalation. Nothing gets your heart going like watching an ANA dude aim a 203 at truck 10 meters away from you.
Yeah but not every situation is life or death. I see how it is comparable but there are tiers to this. I feel like the soldier who makes a mistake due to stress or misinformation, such as the one who accidentally shot Pat Tillman because he heard him shooting an AK instead of his service weapon, has plenty more rope than this lady. There were no stakes here. The guy wasn't asking her to kill her dog, he was asking her to control it. Not much about this situation plays in her defense.
Additionally, in my opinion, stress, poor training, misinformation, or fear are not necessarily deeply seeded personality characteristics, while inherent racism is. And nobody can argue that this was just Karen being Karen. Race was obviously a factor here, and while she didn't scream the N-word, I just don't see her acting like this if a white guy asked. This relates more to something in her mind that maybe even she doesn't know exists coming to the forefront and driving her actions. I'm not one of those "everyone is a little racist people", and I wouldn't even necessarily label her racist on the same tier as so many others, but this stuff exists and this was a prime example of it influencing a person's choices.
It's not unfortunate for her. She's a Karen. And the one trait that unifies all Karens is the general disregard for their own responsibility towards society and other people. A waitress is not on her A-game today and gave you a minor inconvenience? Better call the manager! A black man tells you to please not have your dog free to run around and disturb other people's activities? Better call the police implying he was threatening your life.
How long are we supposed to pretend like the Karen question is not an issue? Late 20s+ white women walking around thinking it's okay for them to not even care a little bit about the well being of anyone around them except for themselves is something I'm glad someone is finally being made into an example for.
it’s unfortunate for her because the tension is between the extent to which Karens engage in society and the disregard they have for it. It’s fine if Karens couldn’t care less for social harmony so long as they don’t engage socially. Gustave LeBon really goes into how one, when engaging publicly, loses a part of their individuality for the good of the crowd, ie everyone else around them. When they keep their individuality, they stand out and are chastised. It seems a failure on their upbringing to not be civically minded, hence their unfortune.
This is why "believe all women" does not work.
Well, among other things. I was just thinking of this, my wife asked me to pick up the car at 2pm, it was 1:40 when she said it was 2pm. Women do this a lot, it's like they don't know they are lying. They emotionally rationalize everything to themselves. Boy, I just went off on a tangent.
You can thank 17th century French salons where conversation was perfected into an art form separate from the dreary talk of the Army and politics. When men visited the salons, the women took charge. Artifice triumphed over truth. For once lying was seen as good. It penetrated into British culture (see all the great British writers with a weird obsession for France) and broadly into American and western culture.
