Who is this KAREN? [View all]

I have Googled a few times to see if she has been identified yet. It's still early on the West Coast and as I post this and no one has come forward yet to give her name and identity.

I live within less than 10 miles of Manhattan Beach in South Bay Los Angeles County. It is not unusual for me to use PCH and not the 405 Frwy on my way back from LA at prime commute times. PCH goes right through Manhattan Beach. There are pet supply stores, fast food restaurants and gas station and grocery and hardware stores along the way that I travel to get home. I find it convenient at times to stop at these places and shop on my way home.

If this latest Karen is working for someone or for an industry or business in my area and travel route, I wish to know so that I make it known how disgusted I am by her conduct by not patronizing this business or organization. There is no excuse for her bad behavior and unwarranted racist rant.

Yes, striking, shooting, killing, teargassing, etc., is worse...but IMO this is the beginning of where this violent racist behavior starts and is allowed to escalate and continue. IMO, adverse consequences for this kind of lying and racist language and totally unwarranted 911 call should be immediate. It may help to stem and prevent more violent and offensive conduct at a later time. As to 911...someone may have needed immediate aid and this Karen may have prevented a valid 911 emergency response.

No, I don't believe that it will make the offender less racist or hateful. However, economic consequences such as an immediate firing and loss of income may prevent this kind of horrible treatment based on race and the use of emergency public service hot lines for lying racists rants and lies.

Let's face it...everyone has an absolute right to be a racist...in his or her mind and heart. These assholes just DO NOT have a right of any nature to interfere with the rights of others based solely on hatred of that person's demographic characteristics.
