I do think the bigger papers realized that they need to report these stories better post-Covington Catholic. Look forward to a think-piece this weekend from the NYT that, while accurately recounting the facts, somehow still manages to have multiple grafs on police brutality that manages to still cast shade.

NYC is full of petty disagreements between strangers, fights over parking that turn physical, screaming matches. Every day thousands. I can’t figure out how this one turned into a race war. If they were White teens do people think that she would say, oh never mind? Or would she continue to try and claim her bike.

There’s been no recent racist incidents going on so they made one up. What a country.

Ope, no--she retweeted something clearly inappropriate in hindsight but is hoping we didn't notice:

Of what, hon? We'd love to help but you need to be more specific.

Was it receipts with a time stamp that show she rented the bike first?

the receipts show that she rented the bike she was sitting on (same serial number as in the video) for a minute. then rented a second bike for 25 minutes.

so the receipts support her story that *she* rented the bike she was sitting on that they forcibly pushed back into the dock. that’s how she ended up sitting on the bike surrounded by the men. then the one guy covered up the QR code so she couldn’t rent it again.

The receipt doesn't prove she rented the bike first.

Great point. Maybe, after the end of the video, she socked those guys in their faces and got the bike back.

Well, she obviously wasn't scared, she did steal the guys phone from his hands. Who knows what happened before they started filming her.

Monique Judge has entered the chat.
Glad you stepped away from your insane Twitter meltdown to grace us with your presence.
Welcome!

It’s great that she’s able to follow the language rules here, right?

This crossed my mind too. It's a tiny island with too many people on it -- stuff like this happens all the time.

In one of her recent tweets Monique Judge was like "do you really think this woman would have behaved this way if it had been a group of white women or a group of white men?" And I immediately thought "uh, yes." Groups of teens/young adults who get together and harass older people and act entitled are in no way limited to young black men. I have absolutely encountered obnoxious groups of white kids behaving similarly. And while I would not normally be scared of a teenage girl, if there were 5 of them and they were pushing me around, and I was 6 months pregnant, I'd absolutely feel threatened and scared and call out for help and might cry or shake. That would be scary.

It truly was not about race. It was about a group of kids being a$$holes and a woman feeling vulnerable and attacked responding normally to that situation.

That’s pretty bad. As is the concept of “white womanly tears” as it’s developed. There are ways to talk about racism and manipulation (when they apply) without vilifying the act of crying when upset. The suicide rate for young people (all races) is a runaway train and we don’t want people feeling like tearfulness is a character flaw or a malicious act.

You don't get it, this woman, and many others like her, could care less if a white person commits suicide. One less to get reparations from, what a f g joke.

Nobody invented a racist incident. A group of teens targeting a pregnant woman due to her race really happened.

I disagree-I have endless faith in the idiocy of groups of teens. They happened to be harassing a white woman in scrubs so they chose Karen. Do you really think they wouldn’t have been such little d1cks if she were black or Asian? I think they would have they just would have chosen another taunt. The people who really blew this up are grown a55 men and women.

What we have been seeing the past few years is a group of people - hopefully in the minority - who actually WANT to make things about race even when race isn't a factor. They NEED the American public to be divided in their demented little minds.
Just like the incident on the NY subway involving the young Marine had nothing to do with race...neither did this. But, there are people who insist on making these incidents out to be racial issues.

The media is the worst at doing this. Instead of celebrating the progress we have made in race relations, they look for ANY opportunity to cry "racism" even when it doesn't exist. It is maddening.

It should have been apparent to anyone with a lick of common sense and compassion that a heavily pregnant nurse coming off a work shift was not going in be stealing a bike from a group of men. I knew this video was off immediately, and I’m not a very sophisticated video analyst, just someone who is tired of the unrelenting embrace of misogyny from the left. It should have been obvious to everyone this was off, that there was more to the story. But that’s not the case, because “Karen” is now the money-making repertoire of the left.

I’m tired of it. I’m tired of women being expected to carry water, of women being targets for the political stunts of the left and right. I’ve had enough.

I’m sorry you feel this way. I too am lefty and I hate this misogyny too. But I still want to vote in primaries. And it’s pretty clear the Karenning isn’t coming from the entire left, even if many progressives regrettably look away when it happens.

It feels at this point like staying in a marriage with a domestic abuser because other men are more abusive and the marriage is workable when he isn’t in an abusive rage. That’s not okay. For my own dignity, I need to leave. I don’t need to put up with this any more.

The Karenning isn't happening because people are progressive. It's coming for reasons that are racial and misogynistic. And from a small but vocal minority of white women who think allyship means letting people steal your bike.

Progressives may be guilty of tolerating this, or of looking the other way. But the impetus is race and misogyny (think the MAGA Incels who created the name Karen), not politics.

When I see my own political party gleefully embracing misogyny in the most craven of ways, when I see the progressive wing of the Democratic Party tolerate (at best) or use misogyny (at worst), it is okay for me to say “I’ve had enough.” I don’t need to continue to be in a relationship that feels increasingly abusive.

I’m pretty fed up to but I live in the real world where the alternative is maga madness. It’s not really a contest.

If there's any consolation in this, it's that 6,700 people have viewed Monique's multi-tweet screed... and exactly 49 people have liked it. You know she'd be massively ratioed if she hadn't blocked responses from anybody she wasn't already following.
