    When has there ever been a black "Karen?"

    Read the article, not just the pasted-in part. It mentions the now infamous video of the original Karen calling the police because there was a black man in Central Park with binoculars.

    if it's only about race, sure, then it's wrong, but if they are suspicious, be they white or black, call the cops, do not confront them

    Anytime anyone around here post an article featuring black crime on white half of you people here on the left go crying that it's racist. And that's for actual criminal actions not simply being a Karen.

    The term Karen is racist. If you don’t think it is, then consider a similar term being used for uppity blacks, that’s when you’ll say it’s racist.

    For the sake of comparison, look at the title of the OP’s story and compare it to the one below. Can you spot the difference?

    70-year-old woman brutally beaten, kicked in head by 4 attackers in SF housing complex

    SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- A 70-year-old woman is speaking from her bedside after being beaten brutally and even kicked in the head by multiple attackers, in broad daylight in San Francisco.

    Question:
    If she called the police because she saw this man doing something that seemed suspicious to her, but she would not have called police if that person was white, is what she did still bad?

    Heck, maybe we could even say half of this was a case of gender discrimination, of women against men.

    A family member who lives in a nice area has a black neighbor and the son is big druggie. He will walk down the street high as a kite from time to time doing weird things. It was probably a similar deal here. Nobody is calling the cops on Carl Winslow for standing outside his home. Nice gotcha headline though...

    Liberal Seattle isn't all liberal. Not by a long shot.

    There is a long history of deeply rooted racism in the Pacific Northwest. Hell, Oregon is the only state that was founded as a white-only state. And there was a huge KKK presence.

    Portland still had white-only drinking fountains into the 1970s.

    Who the hell thinks they see a house being robbed then drives back to the house and while on the phone with 911, gets out of their car and stands in front of the house where the so-called robber is?
    One dumb f*ck.

    I did that. I found a man hiding in the bushes by my house, on my property. I notified the police and they said that there was nothing they could do. I had a picture of the man and they wouldn't take it, or even look at it. They said that they would drive by in a couple of hours and see if they saw anything suspicious. Totally worthless.

    You think Barnes would have given him a second thought if he was a white guy on the property? :roflol:


    'Barnes said he and the woman waved to each other, “as a normal neighbor would,” but noticed she looped back around to park in front of the house.

    Barnes said that when he approached her to ask if she needed something, the woman said she knew who lived in the home and accused him of not being a resident there. The woman told him he shouldn’t be at the property, and called 911, he said.

    They don't need to, they usually post security videos of the attack.

    I'll bet that if a skull crushing militant private security force emerged to deal with these people the powers that be would go after them full force so scumbags could roam freely. Sick

    It just sounds like a Karen justifying her existence.

    I never have, so don't attack me. Sounds like more whine, IMO.

    I will not respond to posts that include only a part of mine. It's rude to cherry-pick sentences and take them out of context. Quote the whole thing or buzz off.

    You must not get around the forum too much then. How about this I use the mention function every time I see it so you can see it for yourself.

    No one is "attacking" you dear.

    I don't think I did "cherry pick". You're being ridiculous.
    I only quote part of your post because I am only responding to part of it, so people easily know which specific part of your post I'm responding to.

    The only part of your post I didn't quote was "good to know".

    That doesn't sound like "out of context" to me.

    I do love how so many here seek to portray this as somehow the victim's fault.

    But you knew that was coming and you knew who would be doing it. As surprising as a sunrise. If the cops had turned up and shot him you know how that would go too.

    Why does their skin color matter?
