So you think they forced her off the bike but still think she's unreasonable because her response was not "oh, okay, yes I will move since you physically intimidated me into doing so"?

Ok.

No, I’m saying someone who is concerned with her safety (and that of her fetus) would take the path of least resistance. Why would anyone put up a fight over a bike they hadn’t rented yet when there’s an available one right next to it? Only someone who welcomes confrontation would do that.

Seriously?

Yes, seriously. That’s what the majority of pregnant women would do.

Would the majority of non-pregnant men physically force a pregnant woman off a bike that she was trying to rent?

Why are we even evaluating her behavior. The men in the video are the ones being problematic.

You clearly never watched the video and are instead trolling. She was never physically forced to do anything.

If anything, she's trying to physically force him off the bike, but DCUM doesn't want to see that because white woman solidarity is incredible.

Yes, she’s trying to force him to let go of the bike he tried to cut in line to take from her.

What’s your point?

She doesn’t have one, because you’re right. Uh, oh, it must be time to bring up Jordan Neely!

Is there more video that the one posted on page 1 of this thread? If not, that’s a fabrication.

The video posted in this thread shows that he scanned the code for the bike she was sitting on, then blocked her from scanning the code herself to attach it to her own account.

For some reason media is running with this calling it an attempted theft, but of course the only thing he’s trying to stop her from doing is attaching the bike to her own account. He doesn’t WANT her to assign it to her account (so he couldn’t get charged for the theft).

Her phone was in the breast pocket of her scrubs until she was done trying to use that particular bike. She never had her phone out until the end. What are you talking about?

He has his hand over the QR code so that she can’t scan it. That’s why his hand is there. Not so she can’t steal it from him under his account. So she can’t attach it to her own account.

That’s crazy. She didn’t even have her phone out and she’s the one who grabbed his phone.

Why are people still saying she "fake cried"?

She is sitting on a bike. A man walks up and attempts to push her off of it while he scans the QR code and unlocks the bike. Three other men surround her and tell her it's not her bike and she can't have it.

She isn't fake crying. She is actually upset. Sorry her manifestation of being upset/frustrated does not read as "genuine" to you. It's kind of irrelevant since she did nothing wrong (except cry in a way you find insufficiently convincing I guess?) and this group of men bullied her off a bike.

And she does go rent another bike. They successfully steal the first one from her, she goes and rents another one. The entire interaction lasts maybe two minutes and then she gives up and goes to another bike. How long is an acceptable length of time to try and stand up for yourself? How much liquid must a person's tears produce to be genuine? Please police this woman's behavior Tymore while a group of men physically intimidate her and demand she get off a bike that was available when she sat on it.

Sorry as a currently pregnant white lady who has rented bikes I find this is the least likely scenario. And I actually thought the chipotle couple was mostly in the right.

Here’s my take:
The guys were checking out probably the last bikes. They were dawdling, maybe checking eachothers’ phones or whatever, but clearly standing next to the bikes. She tries to swoop in by sitting on one because apparently she is in a big hurry. Why would anyone sit on a bike before you swipe? It’s almost impossible to swipe from sitting on the bike. She’s only doing that to try to take it from someone else and get them to give it up.

They tell her no way we were here first these are ours, and they swipe to confirm it. She thinks she can make a fuss and scare them off. why would anyone yell help when no one is restraining you and you literally have nothing to lose since you haven’t swiped the bike out yet? what do you need help with?

then poor kid in the right says let’s just give this crazy lady my bike since I haven’t swiped it yet. His friends are saying no that’s not fair, but she of course does it anyway, and suddenly now that she has a (different) bike she’s no longer scared and crying or needing “help.”

She tried to take advantage of these kids and got caught. She knew exactly what she was doing and deserves to lose credibility. If she had acted this way to a group of nuns everyone would be calling her out and assuming she was in the wrong. She tried to weaponize her pregnancy, gender, and their race and I find that personally offensive as a pregnant lady who would never act this way.

What do you mean by the bolded?

She didn’t have her phone out at the time the video starts because he was preventing her from scanning. Why do you think he was blocking her at the beginning of the video? So she couldn’t scan. There is NO OTHER REASON for him to specifically be blocking the code.

If this were really about theft, he would WANT her to scan the code!

NO one straddles a parked bike and scans it. You walk up, scan it, pull it back, the mount and ride. There’s no way she was there first.

the video is edited. for all we know, she went and sat on the bike first, then he walked over and claimed it was his (despite the fact that he had not yet completed the transaction). one clear fact the video shows is that the bike was not unlocked until AFTER she sat on it.

Not on the new bikes. The new bikes, the scan is right in the middle of the handlebars. It's actually easiest to straddle the bike, then get your phone out, then scan. Especially if you have a bag like she does -- you might even take the bag off and put it in the basket before getting out your phone, because it will be easier to scan once your bag is off your shoulder.

On the older bikes, or if you are scanning with one of the old cards (where the scanner is on the side and kind of under the handlebars), I'd agree with you. But we can see it's a newer bike and not only that, he is holding his palm over the scanner on the middle of the handlebars specifically to prevent her form scanning it. That was my first clue that something was amiss with the way the video was being described. If he'd already rented the bike, there would be no reason for him to do this. Then when I saw/heard the bike unlock in the middle of the video, it all kind of fell together -- she's on the bike, getting ready to scan, he comes over and grabs the bike and covers the scanner so she can't, then he scans the bike and says "oh it's my bike now."

She didn't steal anything. His behavior is really inappropriate/aggressive.

Her phone was in the breast pocket of her scrubs until she was done trying to use that particular bike. She never had her phone out until the end. What are you talking about?

He has his hand over the QR code so that she can’t scan it. That’s why his hand is there. Not so she can’t steal it from him under his account. So she can’t attach it to her own account.

That’s crazy. She didn’t even have her phone out and she’s the one who grabbed his phone.

She grabs at his phone because he's literally scanning the bike she is sitting on. Her phone isn't out because it's in her pocket and she hasn't had a chance to get it out and pull up the app -- she's been distracted by the fact that this guy came over and grabbed the bike she was sitting on.

I hope this woman gets vindicated because after initially assuming she was an a$$hole it's really clear to me now that she did nothing wrong. At first I was confused by the video but accepted the narrative that she'd tried to take the bike and was lying and fake crying. Now that I've actually looked at the video closely and understand what is going on with the bike, I can't see a way in which his behavior is not worse than hers.

So you think they forced her off the bike but still think she's unreasonable because her response was not "oh, okay, yes I will move since you physically intimidated me into doing so"?

Ok.

No, I’m saying someone who is concerned with her safety (and that of her fetus) would take the path of least resistance. Why would anyone put up a fight over a bike they hadn’t rented yet when there’s an available one right next to it? Only someone who welcomes confrontation would do that.

Seriously?

Yes, seriously. That’s what the majority of pregnant women would do.

Would the majority of non-pregnant men physically force a pregnant woman off a bike that she was trying to rent?

Why are we even evaluating her behavior. The men in the video are the ones being problematic.

You clearly never watched the video and are instead trolling. She was never physically forced to do anything.

If anything, she's trying to physically force him off the bike, but DCUM doesn't want to see that because white woman solidarity is incredible.

Yes, she’s trying to force him to let go of the bike he tried to cut in line to take from her.

What’s your point?

Is there more video that the one posted on page 1 of this thread? If not, that’s a fabrication.

No, a ton of media outlets are calling her a thief. I hope she sues them.

please share a couple of the TON of “media” calling her a “thief”.

I just googled city bike and it autocompleted to city bike Karen. There are dozens of links calling her a Karen and thief - media links, not social media.

I didn’t read this whole thread and I’m a city bike virgin so I concede some ignorance of the entire body of facts. I did watch the video and it seems to me to be a sad example of the total breakdown in civility, on her part and the teen boys’ parts too. The situation should have taken 15 seconds to politely resolve.

So glad I have no kids. My dog is 5, I hope she lives another ten to 15 years but when she goes I expect to be going shortly thereafter myself. I’m getting tired of watching the apron and society burning down around me. Shame on everyone in that video.

The world, not the apron. Getting really fed up with autocorrect too!
