Being called Karen, or whatever the male equivalent is, and shamed publicly isn't enough. They are, in some cases, causing criminal harm by putting others in danger. What about charges against them?

(249 posts)What a waste of time they incur and should be fined so as to make sure they think twice before calling in on someone, who has done nothing wrong.

(18,486 posts)It it's only very recently that white America has taken this seriously.
Until the overwhelming video evidence - and, yes, the "Karen" memes and mocking - black people who experienced this were ignored and dismissed and told we were exaggerating, making it up, and/or overreacting. And still, some folks consistently try to hijack the discussions with "Save the poor, mistreated Karens!" distractions.
There's no way without this public attention in the last few months that anyone would even have considered taking this to the level of making such behavior legally actionable.
