It was an e-bike. Not the same as the regular citibike. E-bikes are difficult to find. More than likely there were multiple individuals looking at their Citibike app trying to rush and be the first person to get the last e-bike.

If this is true, even more important that the guy GIVE THE PREGNANT LADY THE BIKE. Brings me back to taking metro during my pre-COVID pregnancies, both of which were third trimester in DC summer heat. First one I just stood and stewed. Second one I was almost yanking people out of the seats by the doors when they were clearly NOT elderly or disabled.

Let me introduce you to the concept of invisible disabilities.

I look relatively fit and far too young for this history, but I've had multiple heart surgeries and occasionally goi into arrythmias where I need to sit and take a medication. This is always a surprise to people who have just met me.

Be aware that it isn't always how it seems. Sorry about that -- I also don't want for me to be sitting in the metro when there are other people around who can use the seat. The alternative is even less pretty, though, and sometimes involves blood if I hit my head.

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.

But why are the PA and her lawyer not pursuing the original video taker and poster? Why focus on the cackling audience instead of the bad actors on the stage?

This is an internet-wide issue that our society needs to deal with. I guess the ACLU wouldn't be interested, and there's not an ADL or NAACP for white women.

Good luck with all of that. What the lawyer did was spin the narrative, Public Relations crisis management 101. She's not testifying in court and this isn't evidence that has been authenticated, and produced under penalty of perjury, at this point, it doesn't need to be, he is just telling her side of things to the media. He told her to "produce a receipt" and that is what she did.

Been in litigation for a very long time and have seen some very interesting things, post-discovery, and after the settlement stage where money needs to be divvied up, well you have a client who needs their share but they don't have the necessary documentation to back it up, for whatever reason, but everyone needs to get paid, so the lawyer tells them what they need and then the documents magically appear, again this is post-discovery this supporting documentation isn't getting submitted to the court, it's just there in case it's asked for. Is the lawyer going to create the evidence, not a chance? An officer of the court can't do a thing like that, but can the client, sure why not.

He can lie and she can lie with no consequence at this stage. You can't perjure yourself to the press. This isn't going to actual trial. They just needed to make this go away, and the rest is all bluster.

What did the hospital do, nothing, they put her on leave, most likely with pay, pending an investigation. Fairly standard operating procedure. The hospital had to get out in front of it because that is the standard operating procedure. Now everyone can save face, and Citibike Karen can go back to work, and show her face in public, and the hospital can say we did what we said we would do.

Thank you and you are welcome.

Good point, but you were not most people sitting in those seats when the metro was packed pre-COVID. If asked, I hope you would just respond to a formerly exhausted pregnant lady like me that you were disabled and I would have turned to the next person, who surely was not. Note most of the people who gave me seats back then were women themselves - no one else cares at all about the pregnant ladies who are, for albeit a short time in their lives, facing major physical and physiological challenges - the issue here is they are NOT hidden but NO ONE CARES.

It's very important for you to keep calling her Karen, isn't it? She has a real name. But you mean to demean her and put her in her place for rightfully protesting the situation these boys forced on her. What name do you have for them?

Race hustlers can never take the L. There are still people defending Jussie Smolett. It has nothing to do with realty, there is always a story that can be made up.

Exactly. It was all just blah blah Karen blah blah. Not sure what point she was trying to make in that word salad.

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.

But why are the PA and her lawyer not pursuing the original video taker and poster? Why focus on the cackling audience instead of the bad actors on the stage?

This is an internet-wide issue that our society needs to deal with. I guess the ACLU wouldn't be interested, and there's not an ADL or NAACP for white women.

Good luck with all of that. What the lawyer did was spin the narrative, Public Relations crisis management 101. She's not testifying in court and this isn't evidence that has been authenticated, and produced under penalty of perjury, at this point, it doesn't need to be, he is just telling her side of things to the media. He told her to "produce a receipt" and that is what she did.

Been in litigation for a very long time and have seen some very interesting things, post-discovery, and after the settlement stage where money needs to be divvied up, well you have a client who needs their share but they don't have the necessary documentation to back it up, for whatever reason, but everyone needs to get paid, so the lawyer tells them what they need and then the documents magically appear, again this is post-discovery this supporting documentation isn't getting submitted to the court, it's just there in case it's asked for. Is the lawyer going to create the evidence, not a chance? An officer of the court can't do a thing like that, but can the client, sure why not.

He can lie and she can lie with no consequence at this stage. You can't perjure yourself to the press. This isn't going to actual trial. They just needed to make this go away, and the rest is all bluster.

What did the hospital do, nothing, they put her on leave, most likely with pay, pending an investigation. Fairly standard operating procedure. The hospital had to get out in front of it because that is the standard operating procedure. Now everyone can save face, and Citibike Karen can go back to work, and show her face in public, and the hospital can say we did what we said we would do.

Thank you and you are welcome.

Have you not followed her lawyer’s communications? They are going to sue the media. He won’t be using fake documents in his complaint.

Honestly this sounds like a massive cope to protect your ego from the fact you got it wrong.

So you're saying her lawyer's only priority is public relations. Save face for everyone so the PA can get back to life as usual. I get that, but I saw some reports that she might sue news outlets for slander. Is that also not possible?

It still amazes me at how effectively the woke movement has reinstituted casual misogyny. The most clever trick was getting women to be the leaders of hating women. You all do realize that when you use the term "Karen" you're using self-referential slur, right? Who needs men to hate women when you liberal white women are so good at it! Women had a solid 40 year run there, though.

I argued back, defended myself. And then I realized holy cr*p, I could end up being the next person on the internet.

After the situation was over my daughter went up to the woman and APOLOGIZED TO HER because of our "privilege". !!!

I was so angry and frightened when I left that store I was shaking. My take aways,
1 Just let the person of color do/have/say what they want. Do not engage. No place in line or bike rental is worth it.
2 even my own child, who had witnessed that I had NOT cut the line, has been brainwashed by woke culture to side with the "victim" of color. Even though she knows me and knows I am not "like that".

There will be no positivie outcome; just kowtow.

You were angry and frightened because someone accused you of cutting in line? Did she make it about race or just you? People cut in line, male silly fake accusations all the time. Obviously you can decide if it is worth it to you to fight back or not but you thinking that you can't push back against someone who cuts you in line because of "woke culture" means you are the one being brainwashed here.

No. Because it was much, much more complicated than that and I realized I was unfairly at risk. Not bodily, but reputationally. Employment wise. Internet wise. It was indeed a stupid thing - a place in line at Walgreens. And then it dawned on me that holy crap, this could end up very, very bad for no reason.

Now, I think about a person in the old South doing nothing wrong, and accidentally running afoul of local racists and how badly that could end for a person of color, and I realize "going viral" is nothing compared to the consequences those people faced. Nevertheless, to go from a random anonymous nobody to a viral Amy Cooper because you were waiting to pay for tampax in line at Walgreens - it's disorienting and frightening. Kind of like when someone almost causes an accident in traffic. You react from a place of fear and being threatened and thinking about how that could have ended up really, really bad.

Curious if you can provide more details. I have been in this type of situation and my view is always that the other person is being crazy or unreasonable and it isn't worth my time to engage. I don't usually walk away furious or shaking, I just try to laugh at what a miserable existence that person must have to put so much stock into silly things.

And please do not equate living in the south in the 50s as a black person to potentially ending up in a viral video that misattributes your actions. You are right hat they are not the same and the fact that you even mention these two types of events in the same breath is disturbing.

My major problem with your spin here is that people were raising valid questions about the video and the accusation that she was "a Karen" well before she produced receipts or even told anyone that she'd rented the bike before the video began.

Like I was convinced of her innocence on the basis of understanding that the guy had not rented the bike before the video started (he rents it at the :20 second mark because you can see him move his phone toward the QR code and the hear it chimes and the bike lurch back). Since she was sitting on the bike when this happens, I concluded that he was trying to take the bike from her, not the other way around, and the accusation that she was "weaponizing white tears" no longer makes sense because it become clear she's upset and calling for help because she's being pushed off this bike by someone who was keeping her from renting it and then rented it himself from under her.

Like she doesn't even need those receipts or the narrative about having gotten their first to prove that she did nothing wrong. The evidence is in the video, which it's now clear many people never watched. One of the guys even says "your baby's gonna come out [slur for disabled person]" in the video, and for some reason no one cares about this. Why? Because people didn't even watch it -- they just say someone post the video with "CitiBike Karen" and the words "weaponizing white tears" and took it on faith.

So no, I don't think the receipt or anything the lawyer or the hospital are doing now is just PR spin. I think it's actually the truth.

Race hustlers can never take the L. There are still people defending Jussie Smolett. It has nothing to do with realty, there is always a story that can be made up.

Jussie. Covington. The girl in Madison. Now this one. These hoaxes always fall apart.

Except her lawyer says, publicly, that he's going after the media and individuals who libelled Sarah (that's her name, not Citibike Karen, you can't let that racist, misogynistic slur drop, can you?). The receipts will definitely factor in discovery.

At this point it's basically your word against the lawyer's. You're asking us to believe your imagined scenario where a well-respected lawyer faked the evidence, that others are showing, where the number on the receipt matches the number on the bike.

You're welcome.
