I’m following I’m following the Hospital’s Twitter feed to see if they update her employment status.

Why would they fire her over an argument in a viral video or publicly say anything? She’s in a union. Not gonna happen.

There was never an argument over who reserved the bike. Maybe at first she didnt realize it was already assigned. Once she knew she didn’t have a bike reserved, she went directly to “HELP ME HELP ME” bs stuff we know gets black guys arrested and killed.
Terrible reaction, behavior and judgement on her part.

I see a woman being physically prevented from leaving by a larger, stronger man, and prevented from scanning a QR code on her phone, which she has out. I don’t see anything consistent with a claim that she was trying to steal a bike that someone else had rented.

This is the wildest claim made by anyone in this thread. The video doesn't remotely show that and she's free to leave whenever she wants, like she does at the end.

He’s physically holding the bike.

JFC. She’s free to leave. On her own two feet. Not on the bike he paid for.

He had not yet paid for it. When the video starts the bike is docked, not checked out to anyone. At the :20 second mark, he moves his hand from the scanner to use his phone to check out the bike (this is when she grabs his phone -- she does it to try and prevent him from renting the bike she's on, it's dumb on her part and she should not have done it but it's also how you know that's when he rents the bike because until then he's holding his hadn't over the QR reader while holding his phone away from her with his other hand).

People got it into their heads that he had paid for the bike before the video started. He didn't. He scans the bike on his app during the video (at the :20 second mark) after she's already sitting on the bike. A bunch of people who are unfamiliar with how these bikes work have said things like "he reserved it" (you cannot reserve these bikes in advance, even if you are a member, that's not how the system works) or that he had started to rent it but not completed the transaction (no, it happens all at once -- you scan the QR code and it charges your phone/app, then the bike unlocks).

So she sits on the bike, then he blocks her from renting it, then he rents it himself, then he tells her and a bystander that the bike is "his".

He didn't steal the bike (it's a rental, he rented it) but he did snake it out from under her after she was on it. She did not sit down on a bike he'd paid for.

Thank you for the detailed description of how transactions with these bikes work. That adds a lot of context to the video.

She came off as overdramatic and ended up looking ridiculous but it’s also very rude to rent a bike someone is already sitting on. ESH

Agree Everyone Sucks Here but I think most especially the people online who have decided this woman is a racist who is endangering these young men (that's not what the video shows at all!) and have doxxed her and gotten her suspended by her employer. And she's pregnant! The online mob is the worst actor IMO. The boys are being punks but they aren't trying to ruin this woman's life -- they are giving her a hard time and forcing her to move off a bike. She handles it poorly (grabbing his phone was dumb and I also think a big part of the issue here is that she isn't really talking or explaining what is happening -- you have to figure it out from context clues because she's just saying "help" and "get off me" and she could have helped her case immensely by being more articulate and clear about what was happening). But it's the online mob that took this from a bad day and some not-great behavior to a total $hitshow. People who are online calling her a white supermacist and telling her employer to fire her should be ashamed of themselves.

They can relate because they do the same shit. And she looks like them.

If by "do the same shit" you mean sometimes rent bikes to ride places, and therefore know how bike rentals work and can see from the video the the guy only rents the bike after she sits on it and after he has blocked her from renting the bike by blocking the QR screen, then yes, I have her back because I "do the same shit."

Im sure you do along with your fake, white woman karen tears.

If he rents the bike when it beeps, why would he need to continue covering the QR code?

He doesn’t, which is why after he unlocks the bike, his hand moves out to the handle bars— you can see that’s where it is when the hospital worker comes up to talk to them.

Should also note that if he’s rented the bike before the video began, the handle bar would be the most natural place for his hand to be to lay claim to the bike, especially to avoid unnecessary contact with the woman. The way he leaning over and resting his hand on the spot between the handle bars only makes sense if you understand that’s how you scan the bike out. He’s not even holding the bike, he’s just placing his hand over the screen.

No, his hand was on the part with the QR code for a period of time after the chime.

The boys recorded it to try and get this outcome. Let’s tell the actual truth. There’s no real incentive to film and post otherwise - he won, he snaked the bike.

Moral of the story : Do not sit on a bike someone else is in the process of renting and cry fake tears.

Moral of the story: women are always disbelieved, even when there's video. And the Karen trope is weaponized to discredit women who advocate for themselves.

I see the gaslighter has returned to this thread.

Unfortunately, we have seen from Emmett Till in the 60s (his white female accuser admitted to lying) to the recent Central Park birdwatcher (the video proved his white female accuser was lying) how a cry for help can often be used intentionally to minimize accountability, deflect blame, or worse, inflict harm in scenarios where they know their whiteness grants them benefits.

Even if she was right and had the bike first, her cry for help and tears followed by the quick recovery is what concerns people because of the history.

A few seconds, maybe 10? And it down lower, on the base of the bars, not over the screen.

Emmet Till was brutally murdered. And he was falsely accused of raping a woman, and the woman who made the false accusation KNEW that her husband and others would want to kill Till when she told that lie.

The Central Park woman is on video calling the police, lying explicitly about what is happening (claiming a man is attacking her while we can see with our eyes that he is not even touching her).

This woman is sitting on a bike while a man is physically standing right next to her, reaching his hand across her body and pressing into her. She is seen not only saying “help” but saying to the man “get off me” while he continues to press into her with his body, even though she is actually ON the bike and he is not. She is not lying at any point— he is “on her” and she’s asking him directly to get off, not claiming falsely to others. She is calling for help and she does cry out in frustration, but she is frustrated for the duration of the video and there is no evidence that it’s an act— she clearly believes the bike to be hers and is frustrated that the man will not cede it to her. Throughout the video, she is laughed at and mocked by the men in the video, including one who tells her that her baby is going to come out as a [disabled slur]. The video ends with her backing down. She does not call the cops, accuse any of the men of doing anything we can’t see them to be doing, or lie about her emotional state.

Invoking Emmett Till or even the Central Park incident in this situation is frankly minimizing what occurred in those situations. The women in those instances lied, claimed harm that never happened, and got a man murdered in one case snd called the cops (who are known to commit unjustified violence against black men) in the other.

This woman told the truth. And she is being called a white supremacist. Just stop and ask yourself what you gain in doing this. What justice will be done when this woman is labeled a racist, if she loses her job? How will the world be improved?

This is disgusting. Y’all are a bunch of lazy, petty internet vigilantes having fun with your digital pitchforks.

White woman will weaponize video to pretzel herself and be the victim of black youth.
