EFFORTPOST Redditors blame redditors for being redditors "Bike Karen was Right After All. She Has Shown Proof She Paid for That Bike."

This is my first time hearing about the story so i am just confused

The black kid was waiting for her to pay for the bike so he could snatch it. They both grabbed the bike and wouldn't let go. He then pretended to be the victim. She started crying for help. It's 2023 so everyone saw the video and just assumed the white woman must be a Karen. Turns out she was just standing up for herself.

:#marseynoooticer: !nooticers

Too late, Reddit has her now…

Its weird reddit hasnt learned its lesson after they "caught" the boston bomber or think a weirdly designed daycare is a meth lab in disguise

whats this about a daycare methlab? !chuds !nonchuds any idea?

This is a big issue surrounding social media out of context videos being posted and everyone just jumping on whatever they are seeing. There’s a saying for this “believe nothing you hear,and only half that you see”

The thing is, I watched it and assumed she was probably in the wrong, but not proven to be. But I didn't email her employers, call the news, harass her family, anything like that. But some people did and that really sucks.

You would not believe how many people were calling for her to be fired and what a horrible person she was. Well, you probably would because it’s the norm. I hate that every move is recorded and scrutinized and people feel justified for trying to get someone fired. It’s fricking exhausting.

:marseyeyeroll2:

context is for kitties

Lol at everyone asking “where’s her proof” when legit evidence is brought forward. No one asked for his proof that he wasn’t stealing prior to this. Double standard folks.

The picture isn’t actually proof. You could go to the same bike, momentarily reserve it and get that screenshot. We’ll never know unless we have actual time stamps of the time of reservation and time the original video took place. Edit: Alright relax people, I don’t know the full story. Not on anybody’s side. Just pointing out this particular picture on this particular post does not constitute proof. That’s it.

In the video it shows her willingly lying to get her way so I don't really trust anything she says.

I will not accept this proof!! said the redditor :marseydisagree: this thread is great, lots of "devil's advocates"

Hoooly moley the amount of people in this fricking thread working to downplay the fact that the media dragged this poor woman with 0 proof is shocking. This site really is disgusting. Hilarious to see how little the burden of proof was considered when it comes to dragging this woman for no reason, but now that there's evidence that she actually did pay for it, all of a sudden the burden of proof for the leftists is sky high.

Ooh we have a :marsey57: here

She was put on leave from her job due to the woke lynch mob....she hired a lawyer and plans lawsuits though

Please tell me the group of men are outed and going to be held accountable

:marseytrollolol: NO lol

There are no repercussions for them to face. Their social circles don’t care and they don’t have careers.

Sure they do.... stealing bikes

:marseyxd:

Now we go into the controversiial

This is why the Karen slur is so harmful. It dehumanizes people, makes them instantly at fault. Why do you think propagandists use slurs in the first place?

Shouldn't be allowed on Reddit. You know darn well you're gonna get banned if you start calling the guys in the video "Tyrone" or something. Anti-white slurs are ok on Reddit I guess.

Oh look a white woman (Karen) :marseysneed:ing about KAREN

That says nothing was paid.

She cancelled payment because she couldn't take the bike. She then rented another one which was nearby and open.

two things can be true:

1. the guys may have pushed her bike back into the dock (just as her lawyer claims), ending the ride on its own

2. the way she and her white knight tried to resolve it was ridiculous. the ride was over and she actually did walk over to the next bike and ride it home, as the group of guys was not interested in her

:marseythinkorino: could this be true?

I dunno what to believe. But I would have walked away rather than go viral. Maybe she will learn to choose peace next time.

now we victim blame :marseythumbsup:

I think what solidified the Karen label was her turning on crying, and then immediately turning it off without tears

Yes that action totally deserves someone to be doxxed, get death threats, and possibly lose her job /s

See the /s ?? the redditor was being sarcastic BTW. :platysarcasm:

And how does this picture prove either of them paid for the bike? Aside from the fact you could easily photoshop those numbers to anything this is just a generic receipt showing SOMEONE paid $0.00 at some time. This receipt could be from after this incident took place even. Literally proves nothing for either of them.

Bård Finne's relative arrives to argue how easy it is to photoshop this shit

What’s the time stamp between the video recording and her receipt? I’ve read three different articles that said the bike was paid for and put back, then paid for again but never taken out of the stall. Also said she paid for a different bike and then tried to pay for another bike. There’s not a lot of timeline, well organized evidence presented on either side. What should’ve happened is both people should’ve cancelled their request, walked to a different bike, and then got a different one. It didn’t have to get this far. It’s a rentable bike of many others.

Edit to add: Each article published yesterday or today has comments from her lawyer but one mentions a receipt but none show a photo of it. So I’m not sure if that photo is real or not.

Point of clarification to the folks who think I’ve slandered this woman or “victim blamed” her: The facepalm is supposed to be “everyone who blamed this lady should feel dumb because she has a receipt”. For the facepalm, from what I’ve read, no reputable news site has shown a copy of the receipt. One mentions it but said they didn’t have any info on it. DailyMail is not reputable. If you’re going to make the claim folks are wrong present the evidence. For the situation, it should’ve never got to that point it did. They BOTH claimed it was their bike. They BOTH claimed they paid for it. Then they BOTH can cancel it and walk away to a different bike. It should’ve never made it to the internet. I never said this woman was a Karen, never said she approached or tried to steal from that guy, and I never said she was at fault. I saw the same clip everyone else saw no beginning, 30 second middle, and no end. They are both old enough to have settled this reasonably. To me this isn’t a racial situation, it’s not even a Karen situation. It’s two people fighting over a rentable bike when they could just get another bike. My position on this situation will always be it’s dumb, it shouldn’t have gotten this far, and it should’ve been handled better without the internet.

:marseylongpost: DIDNT READ

As I figured all along the teens were hoarding that bike and got mad when she, a paying customer actually going to USE the bike, wanted to get home. Crazy how even main stream US media just blindly took the hecklers side.

It fits their narrative. "6 months pregnant nurse get bullied out of using the bike she paid to use by a group of people who just so happen to be black" does not fit their narrative.

TEENS! TEENS?! :marseywrongthonk: might as well call them !BIPOCs !

Where’s the time stamps? Sorry not proof. We’d need time stamps for both reservation time and when the video was taken… If I take a picture of myself in a crown does that prove I’m a prince?

:soycry: WHERE ARE THE TIMESTAMPS!? there are lots of r-slurs arguing this is a fake photoshop etc, all comments are collapsed

Being a white woman isn’t always a crime. :marseywtf2: (yes it is)

No, but apparently people are convinced if you’re a white female and being bullied by a black male you should keep quiet otherwise a black man could get hurt by the Po Po. :marseyagreesuperspeed:

This is stupid. Like Marjorie Taylor Greene stupid. She’s a racist “things I can’t say” and needs to go. :marseyxd:

some /r/politics poster randomly got lost and posted the last comment here

This reminds me of a furry that got exiled from the community for horrific shit trying to post evidence his accounts were hacked from Saudi Arabia while forgetting to remove an icon showing a VPN was active on his phone.

uWu what this?? :marseydiscord:


!illuminati who do we punish?!

Recommended reading: Did Sarah Jane Comrie Treat Black Patients? ‘Citi Bike Karen’ Video Places Spotlight On Bias In Health Care

For some, the physician assistant's work in medicine is just as alarming as her cruel actions toward young Black men.

The latest viral “Karen” video has sparked a discussion on social media well beyond the basic premise of a white woman weaponizing the colour of her skin at the expense of a Black person.

While it’s true that all of that and then some were well on display when Sarah Jane Comrie was recently recorded falsely accusing a group of young Black men over a Citi Bike bikeshare rental in New York City, it was the place of employment of the Karen that prompted more questions than the Karen herself.

While Sarah Jane Comrie was busy trying to squeeze out tears that never actually materialized, crying for “help” from a threat she intentionally manufactured to falsely portray herself as a victim, her blue scrubs stood out just as much as her fake posturing.

You’re mad cuz some black teens stood up to the arrogance of an “innocent white women”. Has nothing to do with worldview…I watched the tape. Your worldview is the issue. So eager to assume black teens=violence. These kids ain’t want nothing but the bike they paid for.

same journo is mad people are giving way more money to the Marine dude for an actual criminal trial and not just handing $$$ to the aunt of the black guy with 40 priors... For a "funeral"

In what is likely a reflection of the political and racial climate in not only the U.S. but also the world, the online donations to support the family of an unarmed Black man choked to death in public by a white vigilante are a mere fraction of the contributions being made to his killer.

In that time period, two separate GoFundMe accounts started for and by Neely’s family have garnered slightly less than $150,000. The goal of the GoFundMe account started by Neely’s aunt was $75,000. Both online crowdfunding efforts have said that any contributions will be used to pay for Neely’s funeral, burial and other related expenses.

lol you think the dead homeless guy's family and childhood friends are going to be planning his funeral?

It's going to be a showrunner from a major network assisted by a team of pollsters and focus testers. Lin-Manuel Miranda and a troupe of gay dancers will probably do a requiem number.
