I realize that. I just wonder what the triggering event was. Siwsan Jul 2021 #11

I apologize. I did not get where you are coming from. MaryMagdaline Jul 2021 #16

No problem Siwsan Jul 2021 #18

good luck trying to get a job around children after this samnsara Jul 2021 #15

At the very beginning of the first video Elphick can be seen rushing at her with her arm raised csziggy Jul 2021 #26

I would think there are security cameras focused on that part of the store Siwsan Jul 2021 #28

Yes, that is what I'd like to see added to the video record csziggy Jul 2021 #35

Ukenta asked Elphick to move 6 feet away Klaralven Jul 2021 #46

Why didn't she just leave the store...... secondwind Jul 2021 #2

Anything for clicks Ferrets are Cool Jul 2021 #3

anything for personal safety i would say samnsara Jul 2021 #13

Pretty good money too. Treefrog Jul 2021 #25

It is a shame that this is what we have devolved into. Ferrets are Cool Jul 2021 #38

I agree. This situation could have been handled so differently. Treefrog Jul 2021 #40

Devolved into? Caliman73 Jul 2021 #44

You don't have to set up a go fund me and rake in over 80 grand kcr Jul 2021 #59

Very true. Caliman73 Jul 2021 #61

You don't need money kcr Jul 2021 #62

Not always. Caliman73 Jul 2021 #72

Of course not always kcr Jul 2021 #73

People who watched the videos suggested it tishaLA Jul 2021 #69

That would suggest she doesn't have much of a case kcr Jul 2021 #71

Who? VIdeo woman? She had not yet paid for her things and was waiting until it was safe to go to MaryMagdaline Jul 2021 #8

I saw desperation, fear, helplessness, weak aggression in a very stupid person Hortensis Jul 2021 #19

I can understand not doing that. David__77 Jul 2021 #23

most of the time Elphick was between the videographer and the exit. csziggy Jul 2021 #27

She could easily have left when the crazy woman was lying on the floor. Treefrog Jul 2021 #29

You must not be of a class that has been demonized and criminalized for being who you are csziggy Jul 2021 #34

why would she leave, though? (And why should she?) fishwax Jul 2021 #36

Yes, she could have left the store. Mariana Jul 2021 #37

She already had her video. Leave the store while filming that she was doing so. Treefrog Jul 2021 #41

Staying and continuing to film while laughing at the woman lying on the floor kcr Jul 2021 #45

This. Treefrog Jul 2021 #49

She was waiting for customer service RandiFan1290 Jul 2021 #55

And laughing and mocking her while doing it! kcr Jul 2021 #57

Rightly so RandiFan1290 Jul 2021 #76

How do you think the white woman is sympathetic at all, though? Withywindle Jul 2021 #66

I don't think either woman is sympathetic kcr Jul 2021 #68

+1 Withywindle Jul 2021 #65

Thank goodness this Karen did not have a weapon. NoMoreRepugs Jul 2021 #4

Oh, but she did: Her tears, and the cops. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2021 #5

Yep. And she was already giving the "she is threatening me" lie MaryMagdaline Jul 2021 #9

She did. Her WHITE SKIN and an emotional appeal to white cops... 2naSalit Jul 2021 #20

disgusting! Cobalt Violet Jul 2021 #6

I also hope they find her a good behavioral health specialist Siwsan Jul 2021 #12

Affluenza is what it looks like to me. 2naSalit Jul 2021 #21

I tend to err on the side of compassion with mental health issues, but you could be right. Siwsan Jul 2021 #22

Indeed, that's what was the point of tell for me. 2naSalit Jul 2021 #24

Periodic reminder that just because people act irrationally, erratically, ignorantly or in a way you WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2021 #14

She might be mentally ill: does that matter? Withywindle Jul 2021 #58

Right, it's an explanation, not an excuse. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2021 #64

Not to mention, mentally ill people of color have a tendency TexasBushwhacker Jul 2021 #88

That's the woman with the camera? tavernier Jul 2021 #51

What happened before the video started? Buckeye_Democrat Jul 2021 #30

People have the right to take pictures and record video in public places. Mariana Jul 2021 #32

Yep, I know. Buckeye_Democrat Jul 2021 #33

Being right doesn't always make it right kcr Jul 2021 #39

Thank you. Treefrog Jul 2021 #42

How is she a victim? Of what? Mosby Jul 2021 #80

Getting slapped and chased around Victoria's Secret Politicub Jul 2021 #82

She wasn't slapped. Nt. Mosby Jul 2021 #83

When she fell down, that looked like a faked faint to me. Nt raccoon Jul 2021 #54

That was nothing like a fall or faint. alphafemale Jul 2021 #56

It was the fakest fake that ever faked Withywindle Jul 2021 #60

That was a performance. Once she realized she fucked up and tried to get Wingus Dingus Jul 2021 #78

For those saying, why didn't the recording woman just leave-- Wingus Dingus Jul 2021 #79

Eactly. I am surprised so many on DU support policing of Black people in pub spaces Demovictory9 Jul 2021 #84

I think what people are saying is the black woman said she was frightened of the wacky woman. Treefrog Jul 2021 #89

Her chortling was sound track to standing her ground Demovictory9 Jul 2021 #90

Ah, ok. Treefrog Jul 2021 #91
