You handled that well. Always keep on moving and ignoring. It’s not worth the consequences. Not only could it end up with you looking bad but someone willing to get in your face over a simple mistake like that may very well be violent.

Yeah that’s the #1 thing to remember, viral videos aside. When someone starts violating boundaries in public, just GTFO. Do not try to argue, do not try to stand up for yourself. Just GTFO. Go to safe location and call 911 if necessary.

This woman is a complete dirtbag.

Do not engage. It’s tough, but ignore and don’t make eye contact. Taught my 3DC this in re: road rage, too.

Call 911. That's exactly what people were screaming about in the first place that she was trying to get them killed. But, yes, call 911. If people are going to go around and harass others in public that's what they can expect now rather than getting their viral moment. People aren't just going to stand by and take it in silence.

The answer at the beginning of the video is very simple: everyone there knew already.

If her account is correct that she got on the bike and unlocked it, and then the guys came and pushed her back into the dock, she had no reason to explain to them that she had rented the bike. There was no misunderstanding -- everyone there had seen her on the bike with the bike unlocked, so she doesn't need to explain it to them.

Now, what she doesn't know in that moment is that this video will wind up on the internet and seen by thousands if not millions of people who actually don't know that, and that many of them will demand to know why she doesn't explain it to them. But she has no idea these people's opinions will ever matter -- she doesn't make her case to them because she doesn't even know they will eventually exist.

Now, later, after the guy has rented the bike (at the :20 second mark of the video) and the other hospital employee came up, why doesn't she ALSO pull out her phone to say she rented the bike? Well my read on it is that she wants the altercation to be over, and when the hospital colleague unsuccessfully suggests they redock the bike and the guys refuse and reiterate it's "his" bike, she gives up. There are so many of them, they will not back down, and she is tired and wants to go home.

Imagine if you worked 12 hours and then dealt with nonsense like this, only to have every facial expression and choice you made in that 90 second video parse and doubted and attacked by a bunch of strangers on the internet. The idea that we don't owe this woman some grace and benefit of the doubt is offensive (I also extend some grace and benefit of the doubt to the guys, some of whom don't even seem to want to take the bike from her, and others who I think don't understand how obnoxioius/offensive their behavior is).

I don’t extend any grace to the young men. If her story is true, they deliberately harassed her and set her up.

Posting of defamatory videos on the internet is an issue that needs to be addressed in the courts. I will donate to the gofundme only when they decide to sue the cameraman and whoever originally posted the video.

I'd like to note that no one knows for certain they are minors. Everyone keeps calling them teenagers. And posting the video is a continuation of them harassing her.

The nurse has been put on leave because of this incident. Incredible. Just saw an interview with her attorney.
They are planning to file defamation lawsuits against the people who have called her "racist" or "Karen" or otherwise defamed her.
She has receipts for renting TWO bikes since the first one was taken from her.
I hope she is successful. This crap has to stop.

The title of this thread needs to be changed.

The PA was not the one doing the stealing.

[Anonymous]

I'm assuming these dudes had been hanging out around there for a while. They could have gotten that bike long before she came out if that's what they really wanted.

There's a question mark at the end of the title. Like the OP wasn't sure that is what was happening.

A similar situation is the Covington Catholic kid...that title "MAGA teen bused in from a Catholic School harasses Indigenous People's marcher. Vile." https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/779050.page
More than 4 years later, that title still remains, even though we knew just days later that it was false.

Nobody is complaining about equality. We're complaining about theft and physical violence against a pregnant woman, also how she was targeted because of her race and sex.

Yes. Give them the bike, purse, car, whatever they want and stay safe.
