RACIST RANTING 'KAREN' IN NC DEAD AFTER GETTING HIT BY FIRE TRUCK

[Quixote1818]

WARNING, she is extremely rude and graphic in the video:

A North Carolina woman who recently went viral for going on vile, racist rants -- and was later arrested for assault -- is now fighting for her life after a bizarre accident involving a fire truck.

Rachel Dawn Ruit was struck by an Asheville Fire Department pickup truck Monday afternoon after stepping out in front of traffic ... according to a witness.

Asheville PD says Ruit is "suffering from life threatening injuries" and is at the hospital in critical condition. The accident is being investigated.

Ruit is, unfortunately, otherwise known for appearing in multiple videos in downtown Asheville spewing racism ... and for her July 4 arrest for allegedly attacking both a woman in a hijab and a Black teenager.

Ruit allegedly ripped off the woman's head covering and grabbed the teenager in the groin. She was arrested and charged with simple assault, disorderly conduct and second degree trespassing.

Before her arrest, Ruit made news after people posted videos of her from June 13 and July 1 going on racist tirades. During the July 1 incident, witnesses claim she tried to attack a child and cops were called several times ... but never showed up.

23. Thank you for the link.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. There's an update in post #16. n/t

[niyad]

22. That and mine were almost the same time.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. They almost were!

[Freedomofspeech]

18. Karma...

When is it arriving at the White House?

[essme]

21. This woman should have had

Medical help. Instead,we are laughing

My god, what have we become

[PSPS]

25. I'm with you

[sarisataka]

26. It's ok,

we are the good people. We only dance on the graves of people that deserved to die

[JI7]

29. how do you know she needed medical help ? and why does it seem only

white people need medical help for their bigotry ?

[niyad]

32. There was clearly something very wrong with her. My first thought was "where are the cops?

In our parks, people are arrested for foul language, or, in some cases, put in psych evaluation. So very sad.

[Chemisse]

27. Sorry, I am not going to laugh, joke, or rejoice at this woman's death.

She may have been hateful and cruel but I am not. I am surprised at how many here are willing to drop to her level.

[ornotna]

28. Hardly her level

Would you consider any of the posters above vile racist scum? Not dancing on her grave but she was scum.

[JI7]

30. none if this is equal to her level

[Chemisse]

33. Calling someone's death "hilarious" is not exactly taking the high road. n/t

[treestar]

35. +1

Some of the left act just like those on the right and are just as hateful, simply hating different people.

[Xolodno]

31. I'm going to guess she was mentally ill.

But, a mentally ill person who listened to way too much Fox, Rush, etc. Add to that, she probably heard the emergency vehicles, but in her visceral hate, never noticed or blew it off.

I've seen people get into a "tunnel vision" of sorts where they are consumed...and lose touch with everything else.

[cwydro]

34. Wow, at least the fifth thread on this in two days.

And the usual grave dancers out to celebrate a human death, one who was obviously mentally disturbed.

"Do not ask for whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee."

[Music Man]

36. Like many here, I can do without grave dancing.

The internet has tribalized us to the point where, instead of hoping for an epiphany for this person, many are literally gleeful about her death. Same goes for people who mock those who die of Covid after previously denying it. Instead of regarding it as a tragedy that people can be so misinformed, many here reply with joy. God forbid any of us or our loved ones die an ironic death after something stupid we've posted on social media.

Maybe it's the optimistic teacher in me, but I choose to think no person is beyond education and mental help.

In my mind, being a progressive means empathy and compassion. It's not like society's ills can be addressed by a bunch of people dying off. Wishing for or celebrating the loss of someone's life makes one not a progressive but a partisan.

37. The fire truck was acting in self-defense.
