Sarah Jane was very pregnant and just finished a 12 hour shift! I've never been pregnant but I've worked some very long shifts were I was on the verge of tears by the time I got home just from sheer exhaustion! Used to be that failing to offer your seat to a pregnant woman was considered poor upbringing. Now it's acceptable to bully a pregnant woman trying to rent an electric bike to get home after a long shift. Sarah Jane Comrie is judged insincere/guilty because she cried. Alice Lynne Chamberlain judged guilty (if killing her infant daughter she claimed was taken by a dingo, which turned out to be true) because she didn't cry. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
Like you said. Stressed out from a long work day. Her rehearsed calls for help came from a place of frustrated desperation. She no doubt has been hassled by inconsiderate people like those boys all over the City. She was losing her mind and rightfully so.
Pregnancy is HARD. Even if you're young and fit. Your body expands, enlarges, makes 50% more blood, grows an entire new organ, uterus expands exponentially, and hormones make your joints and ligaments get loose. Feet can grow larger never to return to original size. There's more but I'll stop. Whatever your mother or birth person did, they experienced physical trauma. It's so hard and did it 3 times. Not sorry, just acknowledging the sacrifice our mothers make.
Seems clear to me. When a rental has been returned, it becomes available for rent. Those boys were in the wrong, and lied to compound matters. As for the reaction on " social media ", we see yet again that a short video segment that doesn't reflect the entirety of the situation is used to create a narrative that is false, yet satisfying to a certain crowd.
Yes, when a rental is returned it can be rented by anyone. Those guys wanted to dock the bikes they were riding so as not to pay extra and then be able to un-dock the same bikes. That is not how it works!! If you want to ride the same bike more than 45 minutes, a rider can keep the bike and pay extra. If the bike is docked, then it is fair game for anyone to rent. The black male teenagers were completely in the wrong.
That's clear. I don't think it's about the colour of their skin, it's about them not accepting the rules of the app - they feel an entitlement beyond those rules. Those feelings of entitlement will limit their ability to interact positively with the parts of society which do accept externally imposed rules, restricting their success in those parts and confining them to the socioeconomic class they are currently in. I wonder if by forcibly restraining her movement their behaviour amounts to false arrest or even kidnapping, and perhaps some of them may find this sort of thing out later in life if they carry on with this attitude.
The amount of tiktokers trying to analyze this case as “racist white woman puts black kids in danger” 🤦♂️ thank you taking the time to break this down logically.
@@shameronstar7220yes you are quite right but to say it is the media's fault alone negates the realities of marginalized people's and erases 400 years of racism in the US.
That's absolutely nuts, clearly the hospital did absolutely no due diligence before suspending her, as if they didn't even watch the video. It is so clear that the guys were basically calling "dibs" on a bike they had yet to rent, which isn't how the system works. Absolutely disgusting the hospital would do that to a pregnant healthcare worker without a proper investigation.
She was doxed. Not just libeled, mercilessly smeared but her employer was made public AND HER HOME ADDRESS. And most awful of all: It was all coming from the people who victimized her. THEY took the video and lied about her. The assailant's sister published several smear videos. ,all lying about the woman yet strangely proving her brother's guilt (from the time in the receipts)
Well, I follow AK NATION TV and we did a thorough, hours-long discussion of it some time ago and--blacks, whites , Hispanics , Asian and Indians came to the same conclusion as Dr Grande.
I would also say that Sarah also showed incredible grace towards those kids and didnt blame or bad mouth them thru this whole fiasco. However the kids and their family continued to badmouth and vilified her even after they were proven to be lying.
Imagine if a group of young white guys surrounded a pregnant black lady and tried to take the bike, which she had a receipt for, and treated her like that.
Exactly. Apparently there are countless excuses available for a bunch of male bullies when Black but if white they would have simply been entitled racists. As a Black woman, especially when pregnant, they would have been lucky not to catch the wrath of my husband because there is no damn way that their behavior was acceptable.
@@cancelledopinion2158My point is that if it was the other way around, the pregnant black woman who was surrounded and intimidated by young white guys would never have been labelled a "Karen" by the media. In fact, the media would have demonised the guys and whipped up a lot of tension.
This case was a particularly interesting study because as more and more evidence came out absolving Sarah it showed the extent of mental gymnastics some people will employ just to avoid admitting they were wrong on the internet.
Of course before having the facts the MSM jumped on this right away & started calling her a racist Karen. Which by the way is a racist term. I last heard she was suing MSM & if this is true, I hope she wins money. Her Family was harassed & threatened because of this. She's not even going after the teens. One of the boys did say just give her the bike. I'm glad one of teens had some decency.
Well that’s pretty much the trajectory of racism and how it has evolved. There’s so many games that have been played throughout time (whether in real time or behind the scenes.). Based on what’s happened here, she paid for the bike and her lawyer can prove that. He had no right to try to strong arm her. As he was actually looking for her to give up and move on or move on to another bike like she did. His thirst to get his way has others jumping to claim racism as a need to win something/be right about something……and they were dead wrong. Such behaviors and situations being able to cause so much destruction, is only so, due to the inexperienced and immature minds that either choose to co-sign on wrong doing or will allow themselves to be manipulated to believe whatever lies…….for self serving reasons.
When a mother defends a rotten son who mistreats women, she’s failed at life. How did the victim’s husband and parents feel seeing that? Anybody stupid enough to believe a petite, heavily pregnant woman would ever try to take anything from a group of men is so stupid there’s nothing available to compare them with with. That includes the hospital administrators who suspended her from work. I don’t believe in bullying by using victimhood or that words are violence. That being said, “Karen” almost always, when used by other races, is meant to insult and demean white women whenever we say or do anything they don’t approve of, which is whenever we open our mouths. Most people thought, against all logic, that she was the criminal. 12 hour shift, exhausted. “Oh. Her tears are fake.” Those men should have been arrested. I hope she sues her employer. The punks who harassed her to publicly degrade and humiliate her for laughs, are probably judgment proof. If the racial situation were reversed, those men would be facing federal charges for a hate crime, which this was. They went after her only because of her race. Why else? They wouldn’t have had anything fun to post if they harassed a pregnant woman of their race.
When are we going to wake up and get real about race? Black people are the problem. It’s like if you know any you would know that. And I’m tired of this abuse. Im on team white ppl, and I haven’t done anything wrong, and I have bend Victimized by blacks personally. You absolutely can bet yourself that I hold prejudiced views towards blacks, and THEY DID THAT. They are responsible for acting like degenerates. Enough is enough. This video was sick and disturbing, and white ppl need to start having some self respect. The story of Emmitt Till is even a lie, and we are suppose to place guilt on the white woman because what…she said something? she might have mentioned it? So what is that equivalent to today? If a black guy rapes and your a white woman well you better shut your mouth because something bad might happen to him and his life matters. Like George Floyd. jfc I say GET AS FAR AWAY FROM THESE Neanderthals as possible.
Very well judged Dr G ! This poor woman was exhausted & frazzled . Two words that I’m getting so sick of are Karen and Narcissist , they are overused 💜
@@supersarah5673 - they were not jackasses... they are thugs and future criminals. If that is their behaviour and mindset as teenagers, it's not going to get any better.
They were squatting on the bikes. If you look, they stayed at that park another 45 minutes after the pregnant woman pedaled off on the NONelectric bike. Just like her doctor told her not to do
I never bought the story that a lone pregnant woman walks up to 4 black guys to start a fight ! People who bought that story are detached from reality !
You can't believe that a woman might feel entitled to something that others are using and demand to be given it without even considering the possibility that there might be backlash? My friend there are hundreds and hundreds of viral videos to help you believe it....
only where white privilege comes into the equation. tons of karens yell "I don't find safe" while getting up in the person they are "afraid of" instead of backing off.
From what i recall of this incident Sarah's employer, Bellvue Hospital, also maligned her reputation by putting out a statement that her actions "did not align with their values."
At minimum, the hospital should at least pay for her to have a taxi ride to and from work for the remainder of her pregnancy, to make up for reinforcing the mistaken idea that she was in the wrong. In a perfect world, they would also issue a retraction to that previous inaccurate statement, but they're more worried about the public relations aspect.
Agreed. This incident was stupidly atrocious and atrociously stupid! The only racism was the game played by the teenagers who were trying to use racism as a bludgeoning tool to get their own way. I'm pregnant right now and I cannot imagine how frightened she must've been, especially when that one young guy touched her belly. All the racist pearl-clutching needs to stop. Her receipt said it all. I'm looking forward to the lawsuits her attorney has started initiated. The media amplifying the lie was a huge part of the problem.
that is a bit much. what about people of the white sort who follow me into the subway when I use the handicap access gate, sometimes nearly knocking me down? I've yet to see one ticketed.
@@grantkeller4634 for having a different take on a bike being in their possession than the white woman? So the white guy riding a bike who accused me of nearly running into him when I used the pedestrian crosswalk that crossed the bike path should likewise be banned from society, instead of having his misconceptions corrected? because bikes, just like cars, need to stop at pedestrian crosswalks and pedestrians have the right of way, I just pointed that out to him, hopefully he figures out he was wrong and doesn't run into any handicap people in the pedestrian crosswalk.
they weren't doing it to her, they ere trying to hold on to the bikes. e don't know if a guy of any color would've pushed a confrontation, like she did.
@@user-xg3uy6hq9g"Hold on to the bike" but those bikes aren't there to be on hold. If you're not actually using the bike, get off it and let others use it.
Firstly, your cadence and smooth tone throughout are exceedingly well done. Secondly, you have provided the most rational and consistent analysis of this repulsive event; even though most already knew it was a juicy imitation.
Michael let the bike get away from him when he turned it back in making it available for someone else to rent. Not what he planned but it happened. Then he decided to be a bully and refused to let Sarah take it. What’s worse he started recording the incident midway through, manipulating the story to make it look like Sarah was being a racist thief. Even now that all the evidence has been made public Michael persists with his false narrative. He should be ashamed of what he did and for orchestrating a rabid social media attack on Sarah.
@@chrispnw2547 Drama from me? I stated what was in the video and what was reported to have occurred before and after the video. The rest is my take on the aftermath. Have you ever worked a 12-hr. hospital shift while being 6 months pregnant? I don’t blame her for her drama at all.
You don't get to just hog it indefinitely. I'm picturing gym equipment. Some jerk trying to stake claim between sets by parking himself there and not sharing the equipment, or worse, just sitting on it and using their phone, and no one else can use it. For hours. Enough of these entitled jerks with no social skills.
Sarah didn’t look as though she intended to cry, she looked overwhelmed. She worked 12 hours, was heavily pregnant, wanted to go home and was basically being assaulted for selfish reasons. She was later suspended from her job and got it back only after threatening the hospital with a lawsuit.
She was probably also worried about the theft scam that is going on around here. She would be responsible for around $1k if the bike is heavily damaged or stolen. People will hang around and watch for easy targets, then run up and grab a bike as someone unlocks it and take of with it. Then they scrap it out for the parts. They can get good money for the battery packs, motors, assemblies, and even a few bucks for the frames.
17 year olds, sure... all she would need to do would be immediately cotact the credit card company and the citibike customer service. she would not be liable at all.
@@user-xg3uy6hq9gsays you! Do you know how much fighting that is going to take with three big companies when you are 6 months pregnant with kids and work 12 hour shifts? Exactly
@@user-xg3uy6hq9g Try it and see what happens. You're dealing with the city. Literally. Sure, it's a business and all, but subsidized by the city, as they approved and provided infrastructure. Credit card companies don't get to just charge back against subsidies. Also, people using their phones to scan-purchase don't have a credit card attached, they have PayPal or a bank account attached. You've obviously not used QR-code or app-scan purchasing much if at all. If you are very lucky - you might eventually get your money back, but most people can't afford to have $1k yanked out of their account for even a few months, much less permanently.
They've always existed, the difference is that they are filmed. That's not silencing, quite the contrary they expose their "glory" to the world. But Karens always see themselves as victims...
i am not kidding, this comment made me laugh out loud. how about “zipperhead” from how they used to split asian peoples brains open & run them over? or n word because of slavery? jewish slurs and the holocaust? KAREN IS NOT A SLUR, KAREN. PLEASE GO OUTSIDE.
The timeline as shown presents a young man that is inconsiderate of others that need to use transport sevices such as renting bikes, even if the person in question is a pregnant lady in distress. It has nothing to do with race, or a theft, he's just stupid and mean. If I were the mother, I would not have defended him.
Hi Dr. Grande! Could you consider doing a video on Larry Walters, aka “Lawnchair Larry”? This is an individual who tethered 43 helium weather balloons to his Lawnchair in July 1982 and took a 45 minute flight into the sky. He took a parachute, pellet gun, a camera, sandwiches, and beer and rose to 16,000 feet. He caused a blackout on his descent and was arrested once he touched the ground again. He later ended his own life in 1993.
That's a great story! I read it first in The New Yorker, but others have covered it from the perspective of "Darwin Awards" i.e. "what a moron" which wasn't fair.
He had a good plan...check out the local neighborhood, have a few beers (perfectly legal in your lawn chair), then use the pellet gun to shoot out a few balloons when he was out of beer and wanted to land....He probably would have been OK, if not for the power lines....and not filing a flight plan...
There's only perhaps 1 in ten thousand of these current unfortunately born out of Lust generation who might somehow have any simple manners or thought or of such a thing. It's sad but true. Matters not be they Black nor White.
What disgusting thuggish behavior by the young men- their behaviour is unacceptable, their arrogance is displayed in their ignorance… ie filming themselves harassing and threatening a pregnant healthcare worker.
Because of a few real Karens who did harass and insult others for their own sense of entitlement, this woman had to deal with a bunch of young men who clearly wanted to ride the bike all day without enough money to accomplish NOTHING but look around and find trouble when an opportunity comes. I could imagine the madness if the scene was reversed.
I'm not one of those "woke" people when it comes to language, but thuggish isn't really a cool word to use. It's been misused to refer to minorities behaving differently, it's almost become a slur in it's own right to call someone a thug. You're right on all your points but I would avoid using the word thug. It has a lot of negative connotations that go with it, especially when it comes to black people.
Sarah was in the right. The teens assumed they could hang on to a public bike they had relinquished but once it's docked it's not theirs anymore. Nate the Lawyer did a really in depth analysis of this story. He's a man of color and he says Sarah was the one in the right. After she paid for it one of the teens, Michael I think, pushed the bike and docked it again. Nate says technically it could be considered theft.
Good manners and common human decency would dictate that any one of these young men would voluntarily offer “their” bike to a pregnant woman. Everything has become ass-backwards when she is portrayed as the villain.
Nope. That is feminine and heterosexual privilege in action. While they were in the wrong, don’t expect your straight proclivities or gender to dictate my behavior or rights.
As it happened one of the teens in a purple hoody who had been enjoying the situation until she got scared and called for help told the other teen Hasan to just let her take it and Hasan said no. So, hoody teen offered her his bike Sara accepted his offer. Hoody redocked the ebike he was on Sara scanned it undocked it and went home. l don't think he did it out of the goodness of his heart but because Hasan had taken the situation to far and he did not want to get in any trouble.
I donated to her gofundme when this happened bc I was disgusted by seeing the video. Just the energy those guys were giving off was repulsive enough for me to donate to her cause. Too bad some ppl call things bc of skin color. They were clearly targeting & harassing her. Sick!
Yes, it's not just the bike thing. They were with 4 against one woman and wished her unborn a mental illness. It's so disgusting. And even more disgusting is how certain media doxed her and tried to set up her neighbours against her.
What a scary situation for her! Those kids should be punished, we can't have roving bands of young adults acting like this, that is outrageous behaviour.
The young man's sister -- though when I went to school, journalistic integrity required that a 17 y.o. be referred to as a boy and not a man -- anyway, the young man's sister made multiple videos vilifying the victim, the woman, and she (the sister) even posted proof that her brother was lying. I honestly don't understand why this kid wasn't arrested. He did wrong. He did cross a line. I don't care what you think of the woman, he behavior wasn't illegal and his was. You can't use physical force and intimidation against someone because you feel like it, even when they are not doing anything wrong.
@@rishonda5732 Assault and battery. He grabbed the bike, and touched her person. I am an attorney. I have gotten into countless arguments with a few idiots online who thought they knew better than I do what constitutes assault and battery, so I am telling you right here: I ain't getting into arguments with you on that. Do a little research into the legal definitions of assault and battery, if you like. I can't waste more time on the subject --- other than what I just said here.

I stood up and change my seat and he became upset and very aggressive because I change my seat and that was disrespectful to him. Security had to come in and take the man out.
Ramming the bike into the lock while she was on it is pretty violent. Teenaged urban boys are the #1 violent criminals outside of men in their 20s. Why wouldn't she be likely to be attacked. @@teep8822
I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of this case. She was certainly on a impossible situation! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, Dr. Grande.❤
She definitely made the right move by hiring an attorney right away and threatening suit against multiple media companies and i believe her employer as well (in case of termination or reprimand), not sure if anything actually got filed though as I think the media cos backed off by the next few days
No amount of apologizing, groveling or free things will ever be enough for certain people. They view any type of guilt(for things we weren't even alive for) or kindness as weakness and exploit it for whatever they can.
@@melistasyif that's how you take the comment and the situation, you are THE problem. Defending criminals and trying to shame anyone who dare call the criminals out.
Real talk. I'm Hispanic...mom's family lived in Colorado back when it was still a territory, my dad is Mexican (met him maybe ten times my entire life, he is a terrible apparently and obviously) So I have been around a lot of Hispanic & Mexican people in the area I lived & people I hung out with, & over the years there were a few black people in school or would hang out with friend of a friend and I would see them when I was hanging out with that particular friend & literally I never ever heard people bring up race like those black people did... And now that I'm older I see that literally all black people makes race a thing/bring it up into situations that it's completely invalid. Everything is about race to them. Anything bad that happens to them by anybody else of a different skin color it's automatically because their black. That's just how they think and it's extremely annoying and overplayed.
Young people for the most part seem to feel so entitled! I was waiting for a city bus and it was very hot. I'm 73 and walked 2 blocks to the bus stop. Bad knees and unforgiving hips. The bus wasn't there yet and there were young people taking up the bench that was available. I was hoping one would volunteer to let me sit down 😢. That didn't happen so I asked politely if I could sit as I was almost ready to collapse. One gave me a seat but very begrudgingly. I got angry stares from those young people...like how dare I! I raised 5 boys who are fine grown men. They are polite and respectful. What has happened to this generation 😮
Wow. I guess I'm a dinosaur 🦕. since i grew up in an era when the bike would've been given to the pregnant woman *even if she was mistaken* about who rented it. I've sometimes foraged into 'Karen' videos and almost always regret it. Often it seems the person behind the camera is the actual Karen. On another note, youtube supposedly has strict guidelines against bullying, yet 'Karen' vids are uploaded on the hour to humiliate, harass, and intimidate people who may be simply responding to provocations by another party. I'm deeply disturbed by America's forms of entertainment these days. Public pillary was done away with for a reason! Aa for the young 'men' in thos incident - dare i say they seem 'entitled'? Thank you Dr Grande for an excellent analysis of this. I'm glad you don't seem to allow yourself to be influenced by 'popular' opinion!
Exactly. Polite people in a misunderstanding pull out their phones, compare receipts, and make sure she had that bike assigned to her (don't let her ride off with your receipt on record) before she rode off on it.
I have to admit, the first time I saw the video I was against her. It was a good lesson for me to withhold my judgement. In my defense, it did remind me of those videos where some Karens call the police on black people living in the same apartment block, this kind of vibe, but I understand now that she was just in a late stage of her pregnancy, and I was the asshole.
Sometimes black people are bad, and need to have the police called on them--to call someone a Karen who questions an unfamiliar person in the neighborhood and is responded to with hostility as if the stranger was being accused of murder you misunderstand human interactions. People run entire channels on rigged encounters designed to make white people look bad--they have to create the setup and video the exact part of the encounter they desire to promote.
@@mustertherohirrim7315 Right, so I'm assuming you have never jumped to conclusions before about something that was proven to be the opposite after the fact?

Completely agree, Dr. Grande. You were spot on about everything pertaining to this debacle.. Thank you so much for posting the truth.

@sololobo739 that's just his opionon. I love the Dr but I disagree with him. The kid said he said he was renting it and she push her way thru and scanned the bike. I believe that the video she looked like the aggressor. Since it was rented tech she was in the right but I don't believe she was 100 percent innocent. I think she walked up they was all sitting there waiting for the timer and she was like you can't call dibs and scanned it. The crying was for sure fake.
I don’t understand how anyone thought it was her fault…like no way those kids paid for that bike black people never have any money and most can’t get credit cards. And also why are 4?5? black kids trying to take out one bike? Like that didn’t raise anyone’s suspicions? There’s ONE bike. why are all those blk kids there.

Wow, now this story is clear. Thanks for this explanation. Sarah did nothing wrong. Michael needs to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. An apology to Sarah from the young men would go a long long way for everyone involved.
Sarah was clearly the victim here and putting the Karen label on her. The bikes are for public use she clearly had a receipt when she scanned the code. Great work as always Dr. Grande. You never disappoint.
Hearing her side and the reality of what those young men were doing sheds a whole different light on this. These kids were trying to game the system bc and it backfired.

@@rightpa - The problem is, the video was posted with only the teens’ side of the story (because they posted it). The media then picked up the story after that video went viral. The media should have gotten more info before they reported on it.
I live in NYC. It is so discouraging to witness young people treating a pregnant woman with such obvious contempt and sense of entitlement. Since when is this type of behavior appropriate? She had just left her job (which was clear based on her uniform and her need for a bike) while it is common knowledge that those who work in hospitals tend to work long shifts. If we make it acceptable to disregard pregnant women in such a way then there is no hope for any sense of community or cohesiveness. Even more reprehensible is the online reaction and mob justice that led to her doxxing. It seems to me that the online reaction to the melé will make it less likely for the minors involved to reflect on their actions in a way that allows them grow from their mistake.

Was busy firing the grill and drinking some Yuengling with a buddy of mine on a nice cool New England evening, usually I watch the Doc's video ASAP. I'm going to tell you a little of my experience with a certain group of people. As an immigrant, Cambodian ethnicity, my family survived and fled the Khmer Rouge genocide. When we arrive, I was 17 days old back in 1981, we were put in the ghetto. High crime neighborhood surrounded by a group that I won't mention. The selective group, currently the very privilege people, made life hell for us. They broke our window and threw fireworks and smoke bombs in our house that caused fires and required police and fire trucks. Imagine surviving a war torn country, one of the worst genocide in human history, only to hear explosions inside your own home. In 1986, I experienced my first face to face with racism, I was in kindergarten and I was terrified to go to school because I was bullied by a certain group. They would surround me in the school yard, push me around and call me all types of names that I ended up hating school and would act out. And it wasn't just me, it was all the Asian kids that had to face bullying. Both my brothers were older and they had to drop out because of the constant assault against them. Going to school and getting jumped because of their race. I cringe when I hear about these people crying racism when I had to face some of the worst racism from said people. My parents had bricks thrown at them, we was shot with bb guns walking out the Asian market. I was 5 years old and my parents had to shield me as they fired shots from their porch. Asians started forming gangs and it put all Asians on the police's radar. I couldn't walk to the bus stop without being stopped and questioned. These privilege people created a lot of problems for us and yet they love to pull the victim card. I'm 42 now, even though I had many friends who were of a particular race, I don't think I can forget some of the experiences I've faces. C-19 made it a little harder again for me to go place, especially back in the city I grew up in. I get constant dirty looks from the professional victim card players that I avoid going to the city. Life is a little better now in a "small town" away from them and away from the capital city. While they burn our flag and say how much they hate this country for something that ended in 1865, I have one hanging proudly in front of my house and on the bumper of my car. Funny thing is, my dad admire MLK. Read so many books about him. He would sit there and tell me how great MLK was and how he led the Civil Rights movement. Sadly, MLK is probably rolling in his grave right now with how the people who strongly fighting for is acting. RIP dad. Have a good night everyone.
Every white woman who speaks up has been labeled a Karen. She was 6 months pregnant and berated by these young men who stopped her from moving freely. She needed helped!
Those guys were in the wrong here but your assertion that “every white woman who speaks up has been labeled a Karen” is simply untrue. White women have a long history of weaponizing their tears and using their privilege to get their way and punish perceived detractors. The “Karen” phenomenon didn’t fall out of the sky, chances are if someone is calling you a Karen, you’ve earned it. “Karen” has been used to describe rude, entitled, privileged behaviour. There are “Karen’s” of every race, the majority of these Karen videos we see heavily feature ONE demographic- Caucasian women and typically middle aged, Caucasian women. Aren’t you curious as to why that is?
Wow, Just goes to show, we initialy thought, "Girl, you being karen?" but now with all evidence - Game Changer. Sorry Sarah, you actually are the victim of assult both physically and racially. We hope you receive the justice you deserve. Those Kevins require intervention in order to prevent future bad actions. Good Luck :)
It's worth noting that one of young men gave up his E-Bike to Ms. Comrie. He was the gentleman and I wish him well in life. The rest were thugs and I expect will not go far.
If you watched it he was grinning at the things that were going on until Sara got scared and called for help. At that point he realized that it was going too far. He first told Hasan to give her the bike, but Hasan said no. So he offered her his bike. L don't believe he did it out of the goodness of his heart but out of worry for the consequences of Hasans actions.
That would only work for 1 generation, because they wouldn't reproduce; however, raising women to distinguish and mate with gentlemen might be more effective and sustainable lol. Face it, there's a genocide of good men because they're perceived as weak and handicapped by the more limited means available to them.
why don't we teach our daughters street smarts? she was out numbered, the teens had a different vie of the situation. the best thing to do was get a different bike, go to another station or use another form of transportation.
I live 2 blocks from this incident. What many don’t know is that we have a big uptick in Citybikes being stolen, sometimes people violently thrown off of them, then used for burglaries, robberies, slashings, and even hit and runs. The city has gone wild with violence and crime. She probably thought they’d steal the bike and she’d have to pay for it and was reacting to that too and thinking about maybe violence erupting while being pregnant, as they started recording, making her seem confused and awkward, and that might’ve been the case, but then they thought of a different idea, to capitalize on the Karen trend. I’d like to see the history of the kids, discipline, rap sheets etc. Hopefully they’re just annoying kids and not bandits like so many in the city (of various ethnic groups) please don’t make my comment be about race 💙🙏🏻💙
That is not what happened. The boys had the new bikes and she wanted it but they told her it was taken and she decided to mount it anyway. And why would she think these specific young men would rob her they the redocked the bike so her time would end. They all behaved badly. No, they shouldn't have uploaded that video but there were parts in this situation where either side could have been the bigger person, but they ALL acted like entitled brats. And why would you assume they have rap sheets at 17 years old. Sound like a lot of stereotyping there. You need to reread your comment because it definitely sounds racist.
I was not familiar with how e-bike rentals work. Thank you for explaining it. I do know what it feels like to be off a long work shift, being pregnant to boot, and just wanting to get home. She handled the incident the best she could. A person can cry without tears when they are exhausted.
Automatically labeling someone a "Karen" without any context is very similar to automatically labeling a young black man as a thug for no reason. We humans have a bad habit of thinking on autopilot.
Dr Grande, you can get called a "Karen" for just complaining about something, even if there is no sense of danger. If I complain to my daughters that their music is too loud they will call me a Karen. Thankfully, they are joking, but that's how prevalent the trend is.
imagine raising a child who thought s/he was right and stood up for herself/himself. I've heard white people admit they got into a tiff with a stranger and later decided they , themselves were wrong or that it wasn't worth it and they could've handled it differently too many times to count.
I can only imagine what a difficult job it is being a physician assistant at Bellevue hospital. After a 12 hour shift she encounters this BS and gets put on leave pending an investigation. Shame on thise teenagers harassing a pregnant woman.
My friend was a driver and supervisor for the Los Angeles Unified School District for 30 years, and he had to deal with a lot of parents and discipline on the buses. He always told me that the parents were at fault for the problem behavior of the kids. The kids copy the parents.
I raised two kids. A son now 20 and a daughter now 22. I would be ashamed if either of my kids acted like this…. Ashamed. Parents if your kids act like this, you raised them wrong.
I agree with your assessment. That's ridiculous Sarah had to deal with being accosted by Michael and his friends. They should compensate Sarah by paying for a couple of months of e-bike use and attend training on sharing public e-bike.
Thanks for another great video Dr Grande. This type of thing is getting more prevalent. Thanks for helping to set the record straight. I only wish they’d been charged.
I’m 64 years old. I was born before the civil rights act. I have seen many acts of racial insensitivity in my time. But I don’t believe racism is the answer to everything, any more than sexism or ageism. I’m glad that no one, including the teenagers, was hurt
The reason you start getting charged a fee after 45 minutes is so one person can't hog a bike all day long. So this kid just docks it after 45 minutes but intimidates anyone else who tries to rent it, because he believes it's "his". Color shouldn't matter in this case, he acted like an entitled little brat and a thug at the same time.
I don't care what color any of the people involved are. Those boys were very disrespectful. I can't belive the mother sided with her son. I would've been so ashamed.
Why Black Children act this way can often be traced to the over-protective Mothers, who will be down at the school in a heartbeat if her baby is subjected to any form of discipline. If you watch videos of classrooms in the present day you will see disruptive students with no respect for anyone ruining the others' chance to learn.
Thank GOD for this take being available on teh interwebs. 🙏 Regardless of race, people today (in general) really do need a lesson in manners, respect and good judgment.
I had a similar situation happen to me when I was in San Francisco. Three of us had hailed a cab after a music event. My friend got into the front seat and I and my friend were getting into the back seat when a woman opened the opposite door and climbed in the back seat quickly, she started telling us to get out of her cab. Soon after, her boyfriend or husband arrived and the confrontation started. The cab driver did nothing and was completely neutral and left the argument. We left the scene and got another cab right away rather than wasting our time and energy on the argument. We just thought is was really weird and rude that the couple was so forceful and determined to get our cab. It wasn't really a busy event or evening and it seem silly that the couple acted like this. I guess it was just surprising to really run into this sort of aggression over a cab. I would think that the cab driver would have told us if we were in the wrong and we certainly would have done as he asked.
Their behavior toward the pregnant woman is inexcusable. The media treated this woman shamefully and tried to make this a racial incident. We have no free press.
@@KismetMama are you kidding? Because we should treat certain members of society gently. Children, disabled, elderly, and pregnant women. It's called respect. I take it you haven't grown a human being with your body before.
Sarah Jane was very pregnant and just finished a 12 hour shift! I've never been pregnant but I've worked some very long shifts were I was on the verge of tears by the time I got home just from sheer exhaustion!
Used to be that failing to offer your seat to a pregnant woman was considered poor upbringing. Now it's acceptable to bully a pregnant woman trying to rent an electric bike to get home after a long shift.
Sarah Jane Comrie is judged insincere/guilty because she cried. Alice Lynne Chamberlain judged guilty (if killing her infant daughter she claimed was taken by a dingo, which turned out to be true) because she didn't cry. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.
Like you said. Stressed out from a long work day. Her rehearsed calls for help came from a place of frustrated desperation. She no doubt has been hassled by inconsiderate people like those boys all over the City. She was losing her mind and rightfully so.
Pregnancy is HARD. Even if you're young and fit. Your body expands, enlarges, makes 50% more blood, grows an entire new organ, uterus expands exponentially, and hormones make your joints and ligaments get loose. Feet can grow larger never to return to original size. There's more but I'll stop. Whatever your mother or birth person did, they experienced physical trauma. It's so hard and did it 3 times. Not sorry, just acknowledging the sacrifice our mothers make.
@@cancelledopinion2158 So does a gang of douchbag urbanite thugs. Also not great for moods.
Very well said
Gentlemen use to offer their seat to a lady, especially a PREGNANT lady😢. So rude.
Seems clear to me. When a rental has been returned, it becomes available for rent. Those boys were in the wrong, and lied to compound matters.
As for the reaction on " social media ", we see yet again that a short video segment that doesn't reflect the entirety of the situation is used to create a narrative that is false, yet satisfying to a certain crowd.
Certain crowd of black harridans bound on a road of hate.
Yes, when a rental is returned it can be rented by anyone. Those guys wanted to dock the bikes they were riding so as not to pay extra and then be able to un-dock the same bikes. That is not how it works!! If you want to ride the same bike more than 45 minutes, a rider can keep the bike and pay extra. If the bike is docked, then it is fair game for anyone to rent. The black male teenagers were completely in the wrong.
That's clear. I don't think it's about the colour of their skin, it's about them not accepting the rules of the app - they feel an entitlement beyond those rules. Those feelings of entitlement will limit their ability to interact positively with the parts of society which do accept externally imposed rules, restricting their success in those parts and confining them to the socioeconomic class they are currently in. I wonder if by forcibly restraining her movement their behaviour amounts to false arrest or even kidnapping, and perhaps some of them may find this sort of thing out later in life if they carry on with this attitude.

@@shameronstar7220yes you are quite right but to say it is the media's fault alone negates the realities of marginalized people's and erases 400 years of racism in the US.
Don’t forget she was suspended from her job over this, and it took a high-powered attorney threatening litigation to help her get back to work!
that makes the Boy's sister a corporate stooge.
That's absolutely nuts, clearly the hospital did absolutely no due diligence before suspending her, as if they didn't even watch the video. It is so clear that the guys were basically calling "dibs" on a bike they had yet to rent, which isn't how the system works. Absolutely disgusting the hospital would do that to a pregnant healthcare worker without a proper investigation.
She was doxed. Not just libeled, mercilessly smeared but her employer was made public AND HER HOME ADDRESS. And most awful of all: It was all coming from the people who victimized her. THEY took the video and lied about her. The assailant's sister published several smear videos. ,all lying about the woman yet strangely proving her brother's guilt (from the time in the receipts)
Corporations often put people on leave to try to avoid the fallout of a viral video. The receipts weren't even out at that time.
Because the hospital was absolutely terrified of black people, so they fired her to save them from BLM backlash. I hope the hospital goes bankrupt.
The first honest, accurate, and complete account of this situation that I have come across!
Well, I follow AK NATION TV and we did a thorough, hours-long discussion of it some time ago and--blacks, whites , Hispanics , Asian and Indians came to the same conclusion as Dr Grande.
I would also say that Sarah also showed incredible grace towards those kids and didnt blame or bad mouth them thru this whole fiasco. However the kids and their family continued to badmouth and vilified her even after they were proven to be lying.
Its what they do
Imagine if a group of young white guys surrounded a pregnant black lady and tried to take the bike, which she had a receipt for, and treated her like that.
Unfortunately most everyone do not HAVE TO IMAGINE
Exactly. Apparently there are countless excuses available for a bunch of male bullies when Black but if white they would have simply been entitled racists. As a Black woman, especially when pregnant, they would have been lucky not to catch the wrath of my husband because there is no damn way that their behavior was acceptable.
@@cancelledopinion2158My point is that if it was the other way around, the pregnant black woman who was surrounded and intimidated by young white guys would never have been labelled a "Karen" by the media. In fact, the media would have demonised the guys and whipped up a lot of tension.
I can see that happening, especially in some parts of the USA.
@@littleevaIt could happen, but the media sure as hell wouldn't take the side of the white guys and call the pregnant black lady a 'Karen'.
This case was a particularly interesting study because as more and more evidence came out absolving Sarah it showed the extent of mental gymnastics some people will employ just to avoid admitting they were wrong on the internet.
Of course before having the facts the MSM jumped on this right away & started calling her a racist Karen. Which by the way is a racist term. I last heard she was suing MSM & if this is true, I hope she wins money. Her Family was harassed & threatened because of this. She's not even going after the teens. One of the boys did say just give her the bike. I'm glad one of teens had some decency.
People can claim someone is racist and they lose everything these days. It’s given certain people a lot of entitlement.
They sure are basking on that permanent victimhood status. Pull the race card and they’re scot free plus some burned cities and riots here and there.
Think so????
@@kaylagamble2952uh yeah considering this woman almost lost her job even though she was in the right.
Well that’s pretty much the trajectory of racism and how it has evolved. There’s so many games that have been played throughout time (whether in real time or behind the scenes.). Based on what’s happened here, she paid for the bike and her lawyer can prove that. He had no right to try to strong arm her. As he was actually looking for her to give up and move on or move on to another bike like she did. His thirst to get his way has others jumping to claim racism as a need to win something/be right about something……and they were dead wrong. Such behaviors and situations being able to cause so much destruction, is only so, due to the inexperienced and immature minds that either choose to co-sign on wrong doing or will allow themselves to be manipulated to believe whatever lies…….for self serving reasons.
When a mother defends a rotten son who mistreats women, she’s failed at life. How did the victim’s husband and parents feel seeing that? Anybody stupid enough to believe a petite, heavily pregnant woman would ever try to take anything from a group of men is so stupid there’s nothing available to compare them with with. That includes the hospital administrators who suspended her from work.
I don’t believe in bullying by using victimhood or that words are violence. That being said, “Karen” almost always, when used by other races, is meant to insult and demean white women whenever we say or do anything they don’t approve of, which is whenever we open our mouths.
Most people thought, against all logic, that she was the criminal. 12 hour shift, exhausted. “Oh. Her tears are fake.” Those men should have been arrested. I hope she sues her employer. The punks who harassed her to publicly degrade and humiliate her for laughs, are probably judgment proof.
If the racial situation were reversed, those men would be facing federal charges for a hate crime, which this was. They went after her only because of her race. Why else? They wouldn’t have had anything fun to post if they harassed a pregnant woman of their race.
Young Turks accused her of having white tears. They called her a racist.
Amen! Very well put.
When are we going to wake up and get real about race? Black people are the problem. It’s like if you know any you would know that. And I’m tired of this abuse. Im on team white ppl, and I haven’t done anything wrong, and I have bend Victimized by blacks personally. You absolutely can bet yourself that I hold prejudiced views towards blacks, and THEY DID THAT. They are responsible for acting like degenerates. Enough is enough. This video was sick and disturbing, and white ppl need to start having some self respect.
The story of Emmitt Till is even a lie, and we are suppose to place guilt on the white woman because what…she said something? she might have mentioned it? So what is that equivalent to today? If a black guy rapes and your a white woman well you better shut your mouth because something bad might happen to him and his life matters. Like George Floyd. jfc I say GET AS FAR AWAY FROM THESE Neanderthals as possible.
The mother still calls her son her baby .he is almost an adult. Far from being a baby
Very well judged Dr G ! This poor woman was exhausted & frazzled . Two words that I’m getting so sick of are Karen and Narcissist , they are overused 💜
Sarah was tired. Six months pregnant, just finished a 12 hour shift. The teenagers were jackasses.
As are you @fanya. What kind of a name is that anyway
@@supersarah5673 - they were not jackasses... they are thugs and future criminals. If that is their behaviour and mindset as teenagers, it's not going to get any better.
They were squatting on the bikes. If you look, they stayed at that park another 45 minutes after the pregnant woman pedaled off on the NONelectric bike. Just like her doctor told her not to do
She was offered an ebike by one of the other teens who got worried about how the situation was getting out of hand. So she did not use a pedal bike.
I never bought the story that a lone pregnant woman walks up to 4 black guys to start a fight !

From what i recall of this incident Sarah's employer, Bellvue Hospital, also maligned her reputation by putting out a statement that her actions "did not align with their values."
They should be ashamed.
At minimum, the hospital should at least pay for her to have a taxi ride to and from work for the remainder of her pregnancy, to make up for reinforcing the mistaken idea that she was in the wrong.
In a perfect world, they would also issue a retraction to that previous inaccurate statement, but they're more worried about the public relations aspect.
I cannot imagine bullying a pregnant woman like that at any age. These kids have zero respect so they should be given zero respect!
Agreed. This incident was stupidly atrocious and atrociously stupid! The only racism was the game played by the teenagers who were trying to use racism as a bludgeoning tool to get their own way. I'm pregnant right now and I cannot imagine how frightened she must've been, especially when that one young guy touched her belly. All the racist pearl-clutching needs to stop. Her receipt said it all. I'm looking forward to the lawsuits her attorney has started initiated. The media amplifying the lie was a huge part of the problem.

Sarah didn’t look as though she intended to cry, she looked overwhelmed. She worked 12 hours, was heavily pregnant, wanted to go home and was basically being assaulted for selfish reasons. She was later suspended from her job and got it back only after threatening the hospital with a lawsuit.
She was probably also worried about the theft scam that is going on around here. She would be responsible for around $1k if the bike is heavily damaged or stolen. People will hang around and watch for easy targets, then run up and grab a bike as someone unlocks it and take of with it. Then they scrap it out for the parts. They can get good money for the battery packs, motors, assemblies, and even a few bucks for the frames.

What happened to young men giving up their seats to young women or disabled or pregnant women.
Hi Dr. Grande! Could you consider doing a video on Larry Walters, aka “Lawnchair Larry”? This is an individual who tethered 43 helium weather balloons to his Lawnchair in July 1982 and took a 45 minute flight into the sky.
He took a parachute, pellet gun, a camera, sandwiches, and beer and rose to 16,000 feet. He caused a blackout on his descent and was arrested once he touched the ground again. He later ended his own life in 1993.
That's a great story! I read it first in The New Yorker, but others have covered it from the perspective of "Darwin Awards" i.e. "what a moron" which wasn't fair.
Sad
Yes please! I actually have not heard of this before I am extremely interested.
Low in neuroticism, high in helium.
He had a good plan...check out the local neighborhood, have a few beers (perfectly legal in your lawn chair), then use the pellet gun to shoot out a few balloons when he was out of beer and wanted to land....He probably would have been OK, if not for the power lines....and not filing a flight plan...
There used to be a time in our society when young men went out of there way to help pregnant women...
That’s what I was thinking, unless I really had somewhere to be I would’ve relinquished my bike to her.
*THEIR
There are still young men who will do that. We have to remember that these stories don’t represent everyone.
That’s why.
Pregnant princesses using the fetus to get what they want. Manipulating people around them, simply because they can.
There's only perhaps 1 in ten thousand of these current unfortunately born out of Lust generation who might somehow have any simple manners or thought or of such a thing. It's sad but true. Matters not be they Black nor White.
What disgusting thuggish behavior by the young men- their behaviour is unacceptable, their arrogance is displayed in their ignorance… ie filming themselves harassing and threatening a pregnant healthcare worker.
Because of a few real Karens who did harass and insult others for their own sense of entitlement, this woman had to deal with a bunch of young men who clearly wanted to ride the bike all day without enough money to accomplish NOTHING but look around and find trouble when an opportunity comes. I could imagine the madness if the scene was reversed.
I'm not one of those "woke" people when it comes to language, but thuggish isn't really a cool word to use. It's been misused to refer to minorities behaving differently, it's almost become a slur in it's own right to call someone a thug. You're right on all your points but I would avoid using the word thug. It has a lot of negative connotations that go with it, especially when it comes to black people.

Sarah was in the right. The teens assumed they could hang on to a public bike they had relinquished but once it's docked it's not theirs anymore. Nate the Lawyer did a really in depth analysis of this story. He's a man of color and he says Sarah was the one in the right. After she paid for it one of the teens, Michael I think, pushed the bike and docked it again. Nate says technically it could be considered theft.
Good manners and common human decency would dictate that any one of these young men would voluntarily offer “their” bike to a pregnant woman. Everything has become ass-backwards when she is portrayed as the villain.
Nope. That is feminine and heterosexual privilege in action. While they were in the wrong, don’t expect your straight proclivities or gender to dictate my behavior or rights.
Totally agree!
As it happened one of the teens in a purple hoody who had been enjoying the situation until she got scared and called for help told the other teen Hasan to just let her take it and Hasan said no. So, hoody teen offered her his bike Sara accepted his offer. Hoody redocked the ebike he was on Sara scanned it undocked it and went home. l don't think he did it out of the goodness of his heart but because Hasan had taken the situation to far and he did not want to get in any trouble.
They should all be ashamed of themselves for messing with a pregnant woman who has just worked a long, long shift.
I donated to her gofundme when this happened bc I was disgusted by seeing the video. Just the energy those guys were giving off was repulsive enough for me to donate to her cause. Too bad some ppl call things bc of skin color. They were clearly targeting & harassing her. Sick!
Yes, it's not just the bike thing. They were with 4 against one woman and wished her unborn a mental illness. It's so disgusting.
And even more disgusting is how certain media doxed her and tried to set up her neighbours against her.

The young man's sister -- though when I went to school, journalistic integrity required that a 17 y.o. be referred to as a boy and not a man -- anyway, the young man's sister made multiple videos vilifying the victim, the woman, and she (the sister) even posted proof that her brother was lying. I honestly don't understand why this kid wasn't arrested. He did wrong. He did cross a line. I don't care what you think of the woman, he behavior wasn't illegal and his was. You can't use physical force and intimidation against someone because you feel like it, even when they are not doing anything wrong.
What crime do you think was committed?

Thank you for defending Sarah, Dr. Grande. Those teenagers were completely disrespectful.
I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of this case. She was certainly on a impossible situation!

I wonder if Sarah has sued anyone for defamation - the news media had a field day with her before the details came out. Really horrible stuff.
If she wuz black...
I hope she does
She definitely made the right move by hiring an attorney right away and threatening suit against multiple media companies and i believe her employer as well (in case of termination or reprimand), not sure if anything actually got filed though as I think the media cos backed off by the next few days
She is but l think there will be non-disclosure agreements.
Good idea!

Real talk.

And now that I'm older I see that literally all black people makes race a thing/bring it up into situations that it's completely invalid. Everything is about race to them. Anything bad that happens to them by anybody else of a different skin color it's automatically because their black. That's just how they think and it's extremely annoying and overplayed.
Young people for the most part seem to feel so entitled! I was waiting for a city bus and it was very hot. I'm 73 and walked 2 blocks to the bus stop. Bad knees and unforgiving hips. The bus wasn't there yet and there were young people taking up the bench that was available. I was hoping one would volunteer to let me sit down 😢. That didn't happen so I asked politely if I could sit as I was almost ready to collapse. One gave me a seat but very begrudgingly. I got angry stares from those young people...like how dare I! I raised 5 boys who are fine grown men. They are polite and respectful. What has happened to this generation 😮

Dr. Grande finally analyzing City Bike Karen incident. Now I trust we'll get the best analysis of what actually happened
this is his second time
Wow. I guess I'm a dinosaur 🦕. since i grew up in an era when the bike would've been given to the pregnant woman *even if she was mistaken* about who rented it.
I've sometimes foraged into 'Karen' videos and almost always regret it. Often it seems the person behind the camera is the actual Karen.
On another note, youtube supposedly has strict guidelines against bullying, yet 'Karen' vids are uploaded on the hour to humiliate, harass, and intimidate people who may be simply responding to provocations by another party. I'm deeply disturbed by America's forms of entertainment these days. Public pillary was done away with for a reason!
Aa for the young 'men' in thos incident - dare i say they seem 'entitled'?
Thank you Dr Grande for an excellent analysis of this. I'm glad you don't seem to allow yourself to be influenced by 'popular' opinion!
They economically challenged--that's why they ride bikes around all day that you have to pay for, even though they're not physically unable to peddle.
Exactly. Polite people in a misunderstanding pull out their phones, compare receipts, and make sure she had that bike assigned to her (don't let her ride off with your receipt on record) before she rode off on it.
@@moondoggie32 It was definitely docked. He definitely watched her scan the QR code. Then he put his hand on the bike. Proves intent.
Yes, the whole Karen thing is essentially making some woman freak out and then make fun of her. It's misogynie, very clearly.
I have to admit, the first time I saw the video I was against her. It was a good lesson for me to withhold my judgement. In my defense, it did remind me of those videos where some Karens call the police on black people living in the same apartment block, this kind of vibe, but I understand now that she was just in a late stage of her pregnancy, and I was the asshole.
Sometimes black people are bad, and need to have the police called on them--to call someone a Karen who questions an unfamiliar person in the neighborhood and is responded to with hostility as if the stranger was being accused of murder you misunderstand human interactions. People run entire channels on rigged encounters designed to make white people look bad--they have to create the setup and video the exact part of the encounter they desire to promote.

What makes them a bad person for "misunderstanding" something, but then later on changing their opinions about it, once more information comes to surface? We are humans; it's in our nature to judge because it's a defense mechanism that keeps humans alive and safe in most situations. If this person however still remained blind to the truth and never admitted being in the wrong about the truth, then that's when they are "not a good person".

@@isaiahzay3392someone didn't pay attention to what happened😢
@sololobo739 that's just his opionon. I love the Dr but I disagree with him. The kid said he said he was renting it and she push her way thru and scanned the bike. I believe that the video she looked like the aggressor. Since it was rented tech she was in the right but I don't believe she was 100 percent innocent. I think she walked up they was all sitting there waiting for the timer and she was like you can't call dibs and scanned it. The crying was for sure fake.
I don’t understand how anyone thought it was her fault…like no way those kids paid for that bike black people never have any money and most can’t get credit cards.

I live in NYC. It is so discouraging to witness young people treating a pregnant woman with such obvious contempt and sense of entitlement. Since when is this type of behavior appropriate? She had just left her job (which was clear based on her uniform and her need for a bike) while it is common knowledge that those who work in hospitals tend to work long shifts. If we make it acceptable to disregard pregnant women in such a way then there is no hope for any sense of community or cohesiveness. Even more reprehensible is the online reaction and mob justice that led to her doxxing. It seems to me that the online reaction to the melé will make it less likely for the minors involved to reflect on their actions in a way that allows them grow from their mistake.
Its like claiming a parking spot by standing in it

Was busy firing the grill and drinking some Yuengling with a buddy of mine on a nice cool New England evening, usually I watch the Doc's video ASAP.
I'm going to tell you a little of my experience with a certain group of people. As an immigrant, Cambodian ethnicity, my family survived and fled the Khmer Rouge genocide. When we arrive, I was 17 days old back in 1981, we were put in the ghetto. High crime neighborhood surrounded by a group that I won't mention. The selective group, currently the very privilege people, made life hell for us. They broke our window and threw fireworks and smoke bombs in our house that caused fires and required police and fire trucks. Imagine surviving a war torn country, one of the worst genocide in human history, only to hear explosions inside your own home. In 1986, I experienced my first face to face with racism, I was in kindergarten and I was terrified to go to school because I was bullied by a certain group. They would surround me in the school yard, push me around and call me all types of names that I ended up hating school and would act out. And it wasn't just me, it was all the Asian kids that had to face bullying. Both my brothers were older and they had to drop out because of the constant assault against them. Going to school and getting jumped because of their race. I cringe when I hear about these people crying racism when I had to face some of the worst racism from said people. My parents had bricks thrown at them, we was shot with bb guns walking out the Asian market. I was 5 years old and my parents had to shield me as they fired shots from their porch. Asians started forming gangs and it put all Asians on the police's radar. I couldn't walk to the bus stop without being stopped and questioned. These privilege people created a lot of problems for us and yet they love to pull the victim card.
I'm 42 now, even though I had many friends who were of a particular race, I don't think I can forget some of the experiences I've faces. C-19 made it a little harder again for me to go place, especially back in the city I grew up in. I get constant dirty looks from the professional victim card players that I avoid going to the city. Life is a little better now in a "small town" away from them and away from the capital city. While they burn our flag and say how much they hate this country for something that ended in 1865, I have one hanging proudly in front of my house and on the bumper of my car.
Funny thing is, my dad admire MLK. Read so many books about him. He would sit there and tell me how great MLK was and how he led the Civil Rights movement. Sadly, MLK is probably rolling in his grave right now with how the people who strongly fighting for is acting. RIP dad.

Those guys were in the wrong here but your assertion that “every white woman who speaks up has been labeled a Karen” is simply untrue.
White women have a long history of weaponizing their tears and using their privilege to get their way and punish perceived detractors.
The “Karen” phenomenon didn’t fall out of the sky, chances are if someone is calling you a Karen, you’ve earned it.
“Karen” has been used to describe rude, entitled, privileged behaviour. There are “Karen’s” of every race, the majority of these Karen videos we see heavily feature ONE demographic- Caucasian women and typically middle aged, Caucasian women.

The city has gone wild with violence and crime. She probably thought they’d steal the bike and she’d have to pay for it and was reacting to that too and thinking about maybe violence erupting while being pregnant, as they started recording, making her seem confused and awkward, and that might’ve been the case, but then they thought of a different idea, to capitalize on the Karen trend.

Dr Grande, you can get called a "Karen" for just complaining about something, even if there is no sense of danger. If I complain to my daughters that their music is too loud they will call me a Karen. Thankfully, they are joking, but that's how prevalent the trend is.

The reason you start getting charged a fee after 45 minutes is so one person can't hog a bike all day long. So this kid just docks it after 45 minutes but intimidates anyone else who tries to rent it, because he believes it's "his".

I had a similar situation happen to me when I was in San Francisco. Three of us had hailed a cab after a music event. My friend got into the front seat and I and my friend were getting into the back seat when a woman opened the opposite door and climbed in the back seat quickly, she started telling us to get out of her cab. Soon after, her boyfriend or husband arrived and the confrontation started. The cab driver did nothing and was completely neutral and left the argument. We left the scene and got another cab right away rather than wasting our time and energy on the argument. We just thought is was really weird and rude that the couple was so forceful and determined to get our cab. It wasn't really a busy event or evening and it seem silly that the couple acted like this. I guess it was just surprising to really run into this sort of aggression over a cab. I would think that the cab driver would have told us if we were in the wrong and we certainly would have done as he asked.
San Francisco has a lot of rude people.
