Karen of the day..from confidently not wearing mask to arrest in hysterics

[Demovictory9]

[CurtEastPoint]

1. WHAT... THE... FUCK... is WRONG with that woman on the train. Mentally ill. JUST PUT IT ON

and STFU.

[Bev54]

47. I am pretty sure that is in Vancouver BC.

See we have the covidiots in Canada too

[Rustyeye77]

2. Wooooow... the ultimate Karen

[FrankChurchDem]

3. Marking for later

[DURHAM D]

4. As anyone ever seen a medical exemption card?

Is there such a thing other than those created on someone's home computer?

[dflprincess]

21. Back when mask mandates started some goofy right wing group came up with "medical exemption" cards

issued by the "Free to Breath Agency" (the FTBA in the example):



CBS story about it here:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/face-mask-exemption-card-freedom-to-breathe-agency-fraudulent/

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. I paused the video around 0:38, but it's not that one.

Couldn't see her SUPPOSED exemption card very well, but it didn't seem to match the color and text.

There's a few other fake exemptions out there too.

To be honest, I wouldn't care if it was a note from an actual medical doctor! Some of them are obviously wackos too!

If this exemption crap was taken seriously at all, the CDC would've issued the cards themselves after sufficient evidence from approved medical experts was provided.

[dflprincess]

28. If a person truly had breathing issues that made it hard to wear a mask

I would expect that their doctors strongly urged them not to go out in public at all.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

31. Exactly!

[ybbor]

41. Let alone public transit n/t

[SCantiGOP]

48. She first said she had her legal exemption card

That is what she showed him.
Then, when the shit started getting real, she told him that she had shown him her copy, but had the one from her doctor at home.
She got called on her bullshit.

[Claire Oh Nette]

26. My favorite is when they cry HIPPA my HIPPA rights.

That has zero to do with masks in public. It's about employers asking health insurers about preexisting conditions.

They use words they don't know, but they know sound important and must mean something.

White privilege at its most kareniffic.

[CaptainTruth]

29. Right!!! It's HIPAA but they always write HIPPA, at least on Twitter.

I've lost count of how many times I've seen a reich winger tweet about a HIPPA violation when the law is actually HIPAA. It's a running joke there, as soon as you see "HIPPA" you know the person doesn't know what they're talking about.

[Treefrog]

56. I see HIPPA here all the time lol. Obviously people don't know the name of the law. HIPAA.

[NutmegYankee]

30. This took place in British Columbia, Canada.

Based on the reference to Richmond and use of Provincial laws.

[TrollBuster9090]

35. Yeah, I thought so. I used to ride that skytrain daily, and that looked like a GVRD Transit Police

...uniform. So, I figured it must be the Greater Vancouver area.

[NutmegYankee]

61. I only rode it during the 2010 Olympics

But I recognized it on first glance.

[Dream Girl]

44. I thought it was BART east bay, there's a Richmond line ther too.

[cab67]

55. she sounds Canadian, too.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

53. I came across this and printed it out on a card to keep in my wallet.

I haven't had a chance to show it yet because I've seen nobody with the original 'exempt' card.

[Lucinda]

54. ❤️ ✿❧🌿❧✿ ❤️

[Buckeye_Democrat]

5. Didn't watch it long enough to learn if "Rape!" was screamed too.

And if I was a passenger there, I'd tell the man in the distance yelling, "Leave her alone!" to STFU!

[Rorey]

7. Yeah, he wasn't helping

But her own yap wasn't closed long enough to hear him anyway.

[magicarpet]

14. The transit LEO should have stuffed he knee down her throat,... shut her the hell up.

[Rorey]

25. I just don't know why they continue to discuss the issue

She made it clear that she wasn't going to put on a mask, so I don't see why he wouldn't just arrest her, cuff her, and take her off at whatever stop was next.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

18. Well, I would've kept a close eye on him anyway.

I doubt that I'd forewarn him of my disapproval. I'd just watch for him to unjustifiably attempt to be a "white knight" about it.

[stillcool]

6. stunning...

why didn't they just kneel on her neck?

[Rorey]

8. I think we all know that answer to that

If she were a POC she'd likely be dead.

[ybbor]

45. So sad that I cynically thought the same

So fucked up, especially in our highest chambers of democracy just this week. Multiple times. Violence against Women, and fuckface regarding the hate crime in Atlanta. Full blown racism out in the open with no shame.

[magicarpet]

9. Is fuck the only word she knows ?

I'm only guessing here,... but this woman did not go to finishing school in Switzerland.

[NoMoreRepugs]

10. Policeman did a fine job all things considered.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

11. Agreed! nt

[BigDemVoter]

22. I was thinking the same thing. He really kept his cool and tried his very best to be nice to her

and not lose his cool. Even when he arrested her, he didn't lose it--she did.

[demtenjeep]

12. should have tased her

no doctor REAL DOCTOR would give an exemption card.

[bullimiami]

13. thats a serious overdose of privilege.

is there some other asshole yelling leave her alone in the background?

[Demovictory9]

19. " you are not going to arrest me. No you are not"

[magicarpet]

15. She probably thought if she put up enough of a fuss,... trDump would come galloping into the train,.

... station on a big white stallion and save the day. So all the big mouthed fascists could go home victorious. And the Asian cop would be sent to jail because he had the audacity to speak to and put his hands on a white woman Nazi light rail passenger.

Fuck thems KKKaren Nazis.

[IcyPeas]

16. But she wanted to get home to her daughter in Richmond.....

You know who can't get home to their families? 500,000+ people.

Expect more of this since rand Paul says wearing a mask is theater.

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

17. Why on earth would anyone think they could yell and scream their way out of being arrested?

Oh hun, it doesn’t work like that. Nor does laminating a fake printed out medical exemption. And he would have let it go if she would have just covered her face. Idiot!

[betsuni]

20. Karen of the year!

That officer was amazingly nice.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

23. Godamn glad I was not there

I would have wanted to knock her Karen ass out.

I hate,narcissistic pieces of shit like her.

Who the fuck raises kids to turn out like her?

Definitely parental failure.

[FSogol]

27. Can't we exile them all to Karen Island or something?

[Collimator]

32. I have a housemate. . .

(NOT by choice) whose response to incidents in which Black men are killed by the police was to declare: "If you keep your mouth shut and do what you're told, you won't have any problems."

Perhaps the woman in the vid should have considered that piece of advice.


Seriously, one blazingly obvious definition of White Privilege is thinking that you can shout down a police officer and TELL him that he can't arrest you. Yeah, that'll work, Lady. But, hey, some laminated card with a couple of sentences on it beats a police badge any day, right?

[ScottFrom1960]

33. More patient than I am.

I would have tased her about halfway through that video.

[TrollBuster9090]

34. That looks like a Vancouver Transit Police uniform, and that looks like the Skytrain.

I used to ride that skytrain/subway every day. Looks very familiar. Is this Vancouver?

[orangecrush]

38. Yes

Previous posters said Canada.

[TrollBuster9090]

46. Thanks, Mr. Natural! nt

[orangecrush]

63. Eternal love

To you.

[ShazzieB]

36. OMFG

What the fuck is wrong with people like this? (Rhetorical question, of course, but sheesh!)

I just cannot relate to people who think that laws and rules everyone around them is obeying are somehow not supposed to apply to them.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

[orangecrush]

37. Holy shit, Karen!

[New Haven]

39. my daughter's name is Karen ---so this really angers me

[New Haven]

40. my daughter's name is Karen ---so this really angers me

[PufPuf23]

42. Discovered a personal character flaw.

My mind was racing "Taze her bro!"

really should not be having that type of sentiment but there are times my imagination goes there in frustration and would not actually want such a solution.

[Orrex]

43. The cinematography really breaks down at about the eight minute mark

I wonder how far up her ass she can shove that fraudulent card before it becomes real.

What a fucking piece of shit.

[myohmy2]

49. not wearing...

...a mask is bad enough but you and I both know assholes like this will never get vaccinated...

...I need some way of positively knowing if someone around me has been vaccinated or not...a card, a badge, a sticker...someway??

...I need to keep dumb-fucks like this away from me and my family and out of my space and life...

...I could give a rat's ass if they all got COVID and croaked...but these jag-offs keep making new viruses while prolonging the pandemic, my economic hardship and threatening my life...

...you are not free to kill me with your freedom...

...we live in a sea of asshole republicans...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

50. That's really stupid

[Stinky The Clown]

51. That was up in the Toronto Metro area.

[Joinfortmill]

52. When she gets to jail she'll wish she wore a mask.

[Treefrog]

57. I'd love to see her mug shot. What a moron.

[Goodheart]

58. But, but, but... I have this medical voucher!

[drmeow]

59. the end of that video

was enormously satisfying!

[Number9Dream]

60. I know 3 Karens - 3 of the nicest people I know - Stop using Karen as stereotype

One Karen is a high school teacher.
Another Karen is a veterinary technician.
Another Karen is a secretary.
Three of the nicest people I know. I hate using a name as a stereotype.

[Downtown Hound]

62. "Sir, I have a White Privilege Card...I mean a medical exemption card."

Um, yeah, about those...
