+1, I was sure this thread would be shut down and it was almost a surprise daily when it was still up. I don't know if we did any good here, but I like to think we contributed to a more rational and calm approach to this situation in online discourse. I think even a few people reading the thread came around to the more nuanced approach after a time, and that's something.

Well, based on my reading of this thread, I warned a friend at a political news outlet to not jump on the bandwagon and possibly be exposed to a defamation suit, and they did not run anything about it. So at least that one small bit of influence.

They will just forget this ever happened and continue in their delusions. They've stopped visiting this thread and won't read anything that contradicts their world view. It's how that personality type functions.

Link?

If true, I hope everyone who dragged this woman through mud and equated her to the woman who got Emmett Till murdered enjoys their big 'ole bowl full of rotten, putrid, toxic crow. They made it.

Apparently her attorney has time-stamped receipts.

I posted yesterday (I'm the one someone called "a troll with better grammar") and it looks like, based on this, I was 100% wrong. Just wanted to put that out there.

I’m the one who called you that- thanks for being gracious, seriously.

I hope she sues every single online jerk she can for defamation, and wins.

I really hope she does.

This is horrible.

Thank you for that. You seem quite sane for DCUM. I’m just waiting for some whacko to move the goalpost yet again. There’s gotta be a way they can reframe it so that they don’t have to admit they were wrong and still make the PA look like she was the aggressor, right?

PP here. Well, sure. There will always be people like that.

Personally, when I saw the video, and how she was acting…the initial account of the story seemed legitimate. But I recognized that they had started taping after the beginning of the confrontation, and that there was context missing. I had thought the missing context was that he was standing there about to reserve the bike when she strolled up and got on, and apparently I was wrong.

Shouldn't common sense tell you a pregnant woman just getting off a long day of work isn't likely to play such games? Really?

No, “common sense” doesn’t tell me how people will or won’t behave towards strangers. Have you met people?

Yes. It's shocking that people like you sit on juries and lack basic common sense and are driven by biases and fantastical thinking. You so wanted to believe the unbelievable here. Why? There was enough information here that things weren't as they appeared.

You are not grasping my point here. People act in nonsensical ways every day. They vote against their best interests. So, no, I don’t assume that every person I see is thinking or operating in the way that I would, because people are different. Understanding that fact does not equate to a lack of common sense.

No problem at all - least I could do.

Then people like you, who can't figure people out, should be the very last to rush to judgment and demand people be named and shamed and fired based on snippets of video.

The men mock and laugh at and harass her, call her unborn child a disabled slur.
Then they post the video showing only a fraction of the internet, claim she was "weaponizing white tears" and call her a white supremacist.

Assaulted, harassed, then harassed online.

This woman deserves $$$$ and a loooong vacation/maternity leave before being welcomed, with an apology and a raise, back to her job.

So many blacks and Dems have forgotten what human decency means.

As evidenced by the monsters who did this and who attacked the innocent woman.

Thank you, and thank you to your friend for exercising some judgment. Everyone who used phrases like "Citi Bike Karen" or "Hospital Karen" or simply accepted the allegation that she was stealing the bike as fact should be fired, because they failed some very basic journalistic tests here.

I very actively defended this woman both in this thread and to friends but JFC there’s no reason to be a racist pr!ck about it.

Um…I didn’t? I’m like one of two people here who was like, “Hey, I thought this one thing at first but am admitting I was wrong”. I certainly never thought she should be fired.

Save the outrage and work on your critical thinking skills instead.

There is an essay out there (that I refuse to link to) that repeats the woman’s full name a bunch of times on purpose in order to ensure it’s a top result if the name is googled. And the author is proudly declaring on Twitter that she took care to not give this woman a single shred of the benefit of the doubt. She equates her to Carolyn Bryant (the woman who accused Emmett Till). This writer is so proud of herself for trying to destroy the life and reputation of a pregnant physicians assistant who was shoved off a bike she was renting, taunted and laughed at.

It must feel SOOOO good to sit behind a keyboard ruining the lives of people who actually work in hospitals helping others all day.

Most of the people who do stuff like that, the heavily involved social justice types, are genuinely psychopathic and just found a socially acceptable way to channel their rage/misanthropy.

Agreed. It’s honestly so frightening that these psychopaths are celebrated.

Dark days for our country, for sure.

If you wait for the facts you won't be wrong. Consider that.
