Narcissism:
There are two types of narcissism: With grandiose narcissism we see characteristics like being extroverted, socially bold, self-confident, having a superficial charm, being resistant to criticism, and being callous and unemotional. Vulnerable narcissism is characterized by shame, anger, aggression, hypersensitivity, a tendency to be introverted, defensive, avoidant, anxious, depressed, socially awkward, and shy.
Factor 1 Psychopathy (primary) - callous/unemotional, manipulative, pathological liar, fearless dominance, lacking in remorse
Factor 2 Psychopathy (secondary) - impulsive, irresponsible, neurotic, emotionally reactive, criminal, sensation-seeking

_"I'm going to tell them there is an Áfrican American threatening my life"_ This really was a death threat and we all know why.
She knew what she was doing.
You almost sound like a Karen.
EXACTLY
Shandele Broyles too late, with last week’s incident in Minneapolis, the fire is blazing. Yes there are good cops out there but until they challenge & pull up the bullies with badges, there’ll be distrust and fear towards law enforcement.
@@johnnysays5879 : Wrong. She could have said there is a *man* who threatens my life. The fact of specifying that he is an African American when it is very obvious what she wanted to imply while deliberately hurting the dog to achieve an effect of urgency and threat on the call. There is even no need to say Afro (American), when we are all Americans without falling into those stereotypes.
The same thing , you yourself due to your racism either consciously or involuntarily or derived from the same cultural and sociological environment that permeates such toxic relationships in America,
, You could have written
in your comment "Does a *woman* have to wait until she is raped?" instead of like you said " *white* woman"
Don't pretend to be silly or ignorant, it's very clear and obvious who lacks the slightest critical and sensible thinking to recognize and understand that your own prejudice leads you to choose those qualifiers so specific and unnecessary regarding a man and a woman in America, and your inability to understand what you read.
Hell yeah it is, she was trying to get the brother killed, and she knew it...
I love how people “feel threatened” while continue to harass the person they are “scared” of. If you are actually afraid of someone, you try to get away from them, not harass them until there is violence.
To be fair, some people freeze so getting away isn't something that would be likely to happen. But to stand there and behave the way she did, it's clear her survival instincts are low. Lol. She had plenty of opportunities to not escalate the situation, if she had trouble physically leaving it.
Like when they get right in someone's face to scold them for not having a mask on.
@@MakerInMotion Or they're extremely against following public health guidelines and refuse to wear a mask like everyone else.
@@steven95N We're talking about people who move closer to someone they claim they're afraid of. Bad example bro.
Attack is the best defense
For 20 years, I have had more than enough of dealing with these Karens. Finally, they are getting called out for their behavior. Good.
I notice this behavior and call it both rude dangerous! ‘Karen’ as a pejorative seems the ruination of a good name. Dr. Brande is right
Yes, it's time to acknowledge that acting on racist impulses is not normal behavior. It is irrational and destructive to the community as a whole.
@@GARY84ROCKS The woman was not being threatened. You missed that part.
Stereo-typing of "Karen's" How about my name "Kelley"? What is my name stereo-typed as?
@@aungminthant111
Yes, ubiquitous phone cameras have helped & harmed everyday life.
I'm so glad that people are recognizing and calling this dangerous behavior out. I hope that we start to consistently prosecute across the country for it
They are being exposed on videos like the police.
In the old days before camera phones he’d be dead and she’d be getting praised as “brave”.
My mind went directly to Emmett Till when I saw this video.
Crystal Scott, very much so. Same here, and Emmet, accuser is still alive. I wonder how she sees the world now.
There is nothing new under the sun. This has been going on forever & will continue on until the end
@Alfred Strickert couldn't agree mean people are stupid and dump.i just dont get it why she is still rooming around.She should be lock up for wasting tax payer money.where is justice here?
freddy ferrillo police responding to a white woman being attacked by a black man? He’d be pumped full of bullets faster than you can say, “I’m not resisting”.
I have dealt with many a Karen, in my life, and it is always a hair-raising experience. I find the undercurrent of violence especially scary because it isn't predictable. You think you are conversing with a normal, rational person and all of a sudden you inadvertently trigger inexplicable aggression.
Thanks for sharing your experience
oh you mean karens who did not do nothing
Shut up, karen
I hope you will get to deal with Mr. Coopers, who approach you when you are alone in a deserted park, where many women have been raped and killed in the past, and says to you: I will do something you won't like.
V J 😂😂😂😂
Thank you for a clever analysis. Though I would add: She acts in the confidence that it is her country, her justice, her police.
@Kjell Myrberg Well-said. Good insight.
Not sure if this is a factor, but she is Canadian.
White privilege
In short, narcissistic.
You think she is acting in confidence? She’s freaking the hell out
Karen behavior--and this in particular-- reminds me of the character in To Kill a Mockingbird, Mayella Ewell, who hysterically accuses a Black man of rape. We come to find out that Mayella has been raped by her own father, a man she cannot accuse, and therefore she rages against the Black man who will surely be punished--because he is Black. This connection by illustration could provide basis for understanding some of the Karen-type hysteria fueling racism today. People who act on racist impulses are irrational, and it would help to end the normalization of racism.
Really
When he said “If you’re gonna do what you want, I’m gonna do what I want, but you’re not gonna like it" and then proceeded to call over her dog and pull something out of his pocket this became something much more sinister on his part.
The racial aspect of all of this was played up in the media. No surprise people are invoking and imagining people like Emmett Till and Mayella Ewell. Hysteria fueled MSM = clicks and $$$, truth be damned.
@@aixamagr2897 Yes! The media are complicit in so much division, pain, destruction & even death in the USA! I understand the need for a free media & free speech BUT some of their racial propaganda last year could be called, “Shouting fire in a crowded theatre!! 😡
Look at what they did to the “Catholic school boy”, Nicolas Sandman vs the Native American activist. I know that they are starting to pay countless millions in legal settlements now but they made the decision to INTENTIONALLY destroy a CHILDS life! The knew that he was completely innocent! 🤬
Emmett Till may be the worst example that I heard. Then on her death bed apologized and told the truth....this goes way back
@@aixamagr2897 And it is conveniently ignored as she's trying to make her connection that when TKAM was published back in the 60's and it was written about a time period that was approx 20 years earlier - the cultural climate was completely different than what it is today. To make an inference like that without that consideration - is in itself fueling racism a little, because it is has left the grounds of a conversation and become an accusation.
How many black men are in jail or prison because of a “Karen”?
Men in general, because of Karen.
Hello! Thousands!
Say that again. Has been done like this years ago. So sad that the black man get targeted when it was the white man all along.
@ebbdiggy1 thank YOU🤦♀️ There are TIFFANYS, BECKYS AND KARENS all 3 different but all 3 can be activated in the SAME INCIDENT 😂🖤✊
How many black men are dead because of karen like ?
I love how society is finally fighting back against Karens everywhere.
Racial terrorism
I think it's bullshit 🤣
Side note: these types raise boys to hate too. People need to acknowledge racists men were nurtured by racist women.
Venesa absolutely
Sigma Nayo Karens are dangerous to men of all colors really
I was born and raised in NYC. Living in the city taught me tolerance of all people (except jerks). Amy Cooper raised the hackles of many with her garbage. She actually shocked me with her ridiculousness. This was indeed infuriating.
Christian Cooper seems like a sensible, intelligent man. He is defending her even though she basically put his life at risk.
I agree. What a wonderfully good man. Such a contrast in this case.
That's what media wanted to accomplish and they did. They downplayed Mr C's threats in the reporting. It's not in the 69 sec video he recorded. He's intelligent but no saint. She didn't put his life at risk. The charges were dropped. He didn't believe in prosecuting her from the start anyway.
Have offered her dog treats to make her thinking he might be poisoning the dog. They’re both Karen Coopers.
The guy is a karen. Started something over a dog leash violation.
@@Deepstatedebate not true, he simply reminded her of the law and she gave him an attitude which he then started recording her as a demonstration of the point she made to him: " it's okay to not follow the rules and make others uncomfortable"
He gave her a taste of her own medicine and she acted out terribly. If a parent reprimands a misbehaving child in public and the child then makes a scene, not the parents fault.
They need to start arresting people who make false reports!
For sure there are a lot of people around the world who got killed because somebody made false report!
Absolutely!! And some sort of therapy/ sensitivity course a manadate. Until a professional (therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist) signs off. Therapies should include racists taking an active roll in interacting with a diverse population.
The cure for ignorance will always be education.
Well I mean do you remember the inquisition? Sure it’s not new, but yeah lies and manipulation is definitely deadly.
this kind of false reporting is not new . this has ruined a lot of men and women's lives of all backgrounds . weaponizing the leos based on lies . the Bible says to punish false accusers with what the accused would have faced if it stuck and these things will cease among you .
It's like S.W.A.Ting. but Its Live.
The cops are crooked as well.
She should have been arrested for making a false report.
What happened before recording is not certain. He may have threatened her. Mr Cooper posted what happened on his Facebook page. There is no way to confirm if it's true. What he did post still seems somewhat threatening because approached her and her dog to give the dog some treats that he just happened to have (?).
What is clear is MSM hasn't done research about the more complete context. Some of the blame seems to fall on Mr Cooper and that has been left out of the public story.
@@aixamagr2897 💩💩💩💩
@@aixamagr2897 what you did there is blame the victim
@@aixamagr2897 If he had threatened her before filming, she would have said it...especially in her "emotional" state. Even in her apology she didnt say anything like that. Just that he raised his voice, which for a big man, can be misconstrued. That whole maybe-he-threatened-her logic, in this case, is just a crutch.
@Katy TerBerg So why did he approach her and her dog to give it treats? That kinda creepy when she's already in a upset state. He could have left from there too.
She is an actress! I like your take on the people who become “perfect little angels” in court when they are criminals on the street. Teachers see this behavior in troubled students when they are called out. They become angels in conferences with parents, principals, and counselors and point the blame at teachers for harassing them. They are master manipulators and quite calculated. It shocked me the first time I saw the transformation, but I’ve see it countless times now.
Speaking of that. The guy doing the filming had been tormenting her dog with treats, to teach her a lesson about having her dog off leash. She was in a heightened emotional state. I guess it does say something that she went to a racist form of revenge but in her head I think she was thinking okay if you're going to be immature and mess with my life then I'm going to do the same to you.
@@danielhouse6244 Ok Chad, that was never proven.
@@robertfrayer6711 Sure it is. The guy posted it on his facebook after the event... chad.
@@flingonber both of them.
@@flingonber The guy was being a huge jerk. He was tormenting the lady. She did something wrong by escalating it but so did he. Who in the world carries dog treats just to excite a dog so it runs off? He was acting like a kindergartner and she responded in kind. I doubt the woman will ever do anything similar, because the guy was being a one in a million jerkface. Confronted with this, the lady did something stupid. Why not just call the police on her dog being off leash instead of tormenting her dog with treats? They deserved each other. Lol
I cannot believe I’m watching an analysis of the Karen. This is peak times my friend. The future is coming. Lmaooo. Love it.
The plot twist is he was the Karen before she freaked out and called the cops. That's the part this analysis and the media left out. # Metoo is only for certain people. That's what the media proved with this. Lmaooo indeed. The peakest of times.
@Every day is the dawn of something big How so? I documented Christian Cooper's account of what happened before recording and the video itself on my discussion page. I've been through this over and over. Media blatantly took one side.
Why she is not Arrested for making false report is mind boggling. Even though Evidence is very much clear. This is Two tier justice system in America for citizens.
It may be that Christian would have to press charges against her. Sounds like he doesn't want that. He isnt seeking to hurt her but instead use this situation to highlight inequality and racism
New York among many other cities is currently burning and this situation is supposed to be worthy of police attention. I think not.
I'm so glad she doesn't have children to treat like she treated her ex dog.
Because they would have to admit the police are deadly for POC. In court. I'm glad she had some consequences, though...
LYNN BRADLEY It’s my understanding that she got her dog back. The dog was examined by a vet and found healthy, well cared for. She had the dog for years so after verifying the dog was fine they gave her the dog back.
My question is why she didn't get charged. This is a classic Jussie Smollett!
Because she has the complexion for the protection.
Phil
They are still investigating this incident . Prosecutors are trying to figure out what kind of punishment she might get.
@@maryanndickson107 She should be charged with at least making a false report to police. Geez!
@@garypennyman6351 She embarrasses me so my complexion is bright red right now!
White woman , simple
Ok, so I haven't watched this video fully or the original video ever, so I have no idea how crazy this woman gets. But honestly I don't understand why the guy did what he did first. Why is he so caught up on enforcing the rules? Kinda seems like a Karen himself.
Plenty of Karen’s out there that don’t act this way. Love my name.
You're an innocent bystander in all of this.
The real tragedy is people taking advantage of this situation and by that I mean Mr Cooper, the maker of this video and the MSM.
When Mr Cooper said “If you’re gonna do what you want, I’m gonna do what I want, but you’re not gonna like it" and then proceeded to call over her dog and pull something out of his pocket this became something much more sinister on his part.
Hysteria fueled MSM = clicks and $$$, truth be damned.
Just a side note: She didn't surrender the dog, the rescue group came and got the dog because of mistreatment.
the animal rescue social media posted that SHE voluntarily surrendered the dog
Good to know. My heart was hurting to see the dog not even touching the ground.
This man was very graceful but he should have pressed charges. What she did was advantageous and could have potentially changed this man's life. Tell a friend.
@@nowirehangers2815 Benny is right. He just happend to have some dog treats and she is freaking out at this point because this guy is getting near her dog. She was wrong about the leash, but the whole story is not being told. Mr Cooper may have been more threatening than he claims. No way to know for sure. See his facebook page with his explanation.
Nope. Chris didn’t just “happen” to have some dog treats. THIS was his ongoing hobby to unnecessarily antagonize those he viewed as “INTRANSIGENTS” (his words, read the interview). Chris was himself a KAREN, starting & escalating and THEN only showing tail end of video!
She was way too comfortable making that call to the police and lying, she’s obviously done this multiple times to get her way, someone should check her background and look into all her calls to police, s he should be charged for her false statements!
You can go ahead and do the Research for us
Perhaps all of that is true. You know what else about this case is true? A grown-ass stranger was threatening to seize control of her dog. But, hey, let's forget that, because... of his race?
@@lemmh2 Funny how people like you can ignore the clear evidence in front of your face. She clearly didn't feel threatened otherwise she wouldn't have been charging at him she would have been running away. She also didn't seem to give a fuck about the dog, she was choking the poor thing and then surrendered it to the rescue.
Derrty92lude well idk if I would be able to check all of her phone calls to police but I’m certain the police department is more than capable but I’m not sure they’re willing
Mr. Cong yes I agree she seems like and awful person
I have been binge watching your CZcams videos. I am just fascinated at how eloquent and cohesive and objective you analyze your cases.
How did people like this become known as "Karens" to begin with?🤔
One of the kindest people I have ever known is named Karen.
I've wondered this myself. A movie reference is my guess. There is also a male "Chad," which I don't get either.
The simple fact that “Karen” is a thing with a legit definition is hilariously depressing
Karen’s been around for 100s of years so this is not knew but social media has brought light to this darkness. Hopefully this can go away one day
😂😂😂
Karen does not have to be racist or white....anyone that works retail deals with Karen's all the time...you can identify one when they ask to speak to a manager....
😂😂😂
@@geewhite2241 I think they were "Beckys" a hundred years ago.
True story, scouts honor ✌🏽. She was my neighbor in NYC for 3 years and her old dog “Oliver” bit me on the arm in 2014. I didn’t make a big deal about it, he was a small old dog and shit happens, she was initially apologetic but turned rageful when I wanted to know her name and apt number in case I needed to forward a doctors bill. That was followed by 3 years of clashing with this woman every time we saw each other. Once her dog came after me and my two dogs in the hallway, I yelled at her dog to stop, she said “how dare you shout at my dog you fucking (inaudible).” I may have called her a “C-U-Next-Tuesday “
I’m not very confrontational, and she was the only person I ever had to defend myself against in NYC (and I worked in a sketchy neighborhood).
I believe she is a racist and an elitist. She hated having a Hispanic neighbor in “her” luxury apartment building. Believe me, this was a long time coming. As far as the assessment that she has impulse control, I can personally attest to that. I was and am still very good friends with many of the staff of that building, she was always the building joke and was known for her Karen behavior. Just a few stories I remember.
-She invites a guy upto her apartment (she was notoriously single and in desperate need of a mans, ahem, affection), only to chase after him out the door about 5 minutes later. Apparently he wasn’t into it. Her sexual frustration was obvious when she came back and yelled at the doorman for laughing. -Winter 2015. My building was on the Hudson and the neighborhood was very windy during winter. The doorman was helping a woman with a stroller through the door when she struggled with the other door, which she took offense to. She made a scene in the lobby on how she expected to have the door opened for her because that’s what she pays for. There is a spinning rotary door as well, she’s just a privileged bitch. -Ah, and my favorite. My wife was talking to the concierge with our two dogs by her side. Old crusty cooch rolls up and tells her that dog walkers have to use the side entrance and the front entrance is for residents only (Not True). My wife is Latina, and she’s mean y’all. She lit into her and called her a racist bitch. She told the building management a bunch of lies, that my wife spit at her and she wanted us removed. Of course none of the video and witnesses backed her up. We moved to a different tower within the same building and didn’t see her as much after that, but still heard stories about her clashing with staff members and residents. I was never a real believer in Karma, but this one makes me a believer. She is a bully. She has a mean and ugly heart. She tried to make me feel inferior. But I’m a combat veteran and I earned my right for a seat at the table. She deserves every bit of what she’s going through.
I’m so sorry this happened to you and your family. It’s sad that people like this exist.
🙂
Good thing I didn’t live in the building with her. I would have been put in jail for kicking her ass.
The universe works in mysterious ways.
Thank you I needed that WENDY is on reruns. 😷😂😀🤣😂🤣😆😁😇
It was my impression that when Mr. Cooper said "you will not like what I am going to do," that he was insinuating that he was going to do "something" unsavory to the dog. Granted, that she should have had the dog on a leash, and when asked to leave she should have... But, a woman facing a large man threatening (or insinuating) he is going to kill her dog, would be scary to most women irregardless of the race/ethnicity of the person making such a statement. So while Miss Cooper most certainly did over-react, so did society to her...
I amcompletely with you. I,TOO, WOULD HAVE BEEN SCARED SH*TLESS.
Totally agree.
I am also an experienced therapist, and you're spot on. Given how cops react to black people, he could easily ended up arrested, beaten up, falsely charged, or dead.
Ridiculous. Thousands upon thousands of black people are arrested without being harmed by the police. A BS narrative and media hype sure has *you* brainwashed. A study showed that black people were actually *less* likely to be killed by the police, when all the factors were taken into account. You don't hear about it when white people are killed by the police because that doesn't suit the woke agenda. Also, it is completely ignored how the black people who *do* get killed or beaten are acting at the time. It isn't "how cops react to black people." It's "how certain black people react to cops." Not a single one was complying.
@@billadonnicadonnicabilla4960 : look up the statistics before spouting conservative diversionary explanations
Her temper tantrum could’ve got that poor man killed.
As a matter of fact, that's what she subconsciously wanted: get "this slave" beaten to death! How dares he talk to a Mistress like that!?!
@@LimKaamen Not even subconsciously. She clearly was hoping for an armed police confrontation as evidenced by mentioning his race and her dramatizing how "threatened" and scared she was.
And her dog 2
EXACTLY. THATS THE WHOLE POINT. HOW THINGS LIKE THAT CAN ESCALATE!!!
@@SonyaLCH you are right. There is no subconscious involved in this type of deceit. IT IS A VERY PREMEDITATED ACT, MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT; and almost sociopathic in nature. It can be taught (e.g., like "grifters") ;it can be a learned behavior, which in this case the person starts pulling off this type of deceit esrly on, realizing it works, or at least seems to divert and deflect any attention or suspicion away from them and so as they go in life to adulthood ...oh its on now..its totally premeditated, no subconscious thinking AT ALL. And the only way to stop it finally is when THEY GET EXPOSED. Its the only personality disorder there is a real cure for, and the cure is GETTING CAUGHT EXPOSED AND MOST IMPORTANTLY...PUNISHED
She didn't care about being recorded because she knew all she had to say was that she was SCARED.
Lack of insight
That’s what narc do
Absolutely!!!!!
I think that the situation happened because one Karen ran into another Karen. They were both being Karens she was just a nastier one I mean the man took out his phone and started recording her. After he told her what she needed to know he should have just walked away and minded his own business instead he had to start something.
One racist speaking up for another. All the forgivness Mr.Cooper had for that piece of sick trash, I think was misplaced,since she tried to have him killed. She called the death squad on him. Glad your still alive sir. If the police had shot you, we wouldn't have seen the tape. CASE CLOSED!!
Agree completely. This guy wasn't the dog police, and didn't need to aggravate the situation. It wasn't that big of a deal.
Sadly stupid incidents like these happen DAILY for...particular Americans! You're absolutely right, she was not only a threat to this innocent man, but to the entire community! The law should start taking cases like these more seriously
Something tells me that she is not doing it for the first time . This time she got caught .
OH MOST DEFINITELY. THIS IS THE BEHAVIOR OF A GRIFTER. THEY DONT STOP GRIFTING TIL ...THEY GET CAUGHT AND ARRESTED. AND IF NOT TOO FAR GONE IN THEIR PERSONALITY OF DECEPTION AND LYING ON OTHERS , THE THREAT OF INCARCERATION OR BEING FINED OR PUNISHED MAY KEEP SOME FROM TRYING IT AGAIN, BUT I WOULDNT COUNT ON IT. PEOPLE LIKE THIS DO THIS KIND OF STUFF LIKE THEY INHALE AND EXHALE
There's male "Karen's" also ...
@@sept21-urgentseemyaboutdes2 Oh yea, especially in regards to grifters. Matter of fact ..Most "grifters" are men, or are man led and or engineered operations involving women in the more organized scams and false schemes. But the sociopathic grifter like the Karens of Central Pk, are not as premeditated as say a grifter BUT more deadly really because what starts out so subtle, so benign a incident involving this behavior can escalate and explode without warnings, and one gets blindsided by the whole snowball effect this type of person can cause over a lie over ... nothing. Its borderline psychopathic no matter what gender does it the most
🤔Shes the type of person who I could easily profile as one who even has the potential to cry sexual assault in the workplace to manipulate a successful career advancement, lets just say. And i think her company saw the possibility of her being a future liability to them; that being in her character which is why they IMMEDIATELY fired her.
👍to that company.
Pam Crampton they were RELIEVED to finally find a way to get rid of her. She was probably a major pain at work but it’s really difficult to pin something irrefutable on someone like that.
Also, public safety disclaimer: don't engage with a Karen. This can lead to becoming a Karen yourself. Just find a safe non-Karen area and call for help. PS love your videos.
Good one!
Be Kazzled great advice!
I disagree. Karens should have pressure applied at all times like a grindstone. They are abusive to the general public.
Be Kazzled I agree, if he were Truely
concerned about illegal dog walking/ following the rules then call police. If she were truely concerned about her safety and not over reacting she would have left the area and truely called police. If this guy posted his video in public domain after all of this he really wanted the woman to be punished. If he thought he was right he should have stayed there until the police came and showed them the video. Instead he left.
.Have lived in NYC 35 yrs. Emphasis on “lived”. By not being provocative. She refused to comply, so call the police. The locals know this is a load of shit. And Ms Cooper committed no crime. BTW, look up “Karen”. It is a slur against white women. You use racism to fight racism. BTW, he very clearly threatened her. Said, “I will do something you win’t like”. Then tried to feed her dog. He’s the “‘Karen”. He’s no victim. Is living in one of the richest, safest neighborhoods in the country.
I just feel bad for Karens who aren't "Karens".
🙌🙌 Spot on! Dr. Todd. What causes someone to snap like this ...stress? I know she's very insecure about her place in society- (Note how she wields her aggression and power on the dog) It reminds me of an overwhelmed parent abusing their child😣😢😤
Just imagine how all the people actually named "Karen" feel...😂
Yeah I don’t understand the use of that name.
Brandon Hanserd my baby sister name is Karen and she is nothing like this person.
@@loumorrell61 I'm sure she's not. I'm just saying all the real Karens' probably hate how their name has been attached to this type of person
They need to join the cause against all these imposters making them look bad😂
I'd change mine
Definitely a false report, and her intent was malicious, I can’t imagine how many other people she has already victimised she seems remorseless to me.
U think that guy wasn't wanting that to happen. He was ready with his phone to start shit. He's just as bad as the woman
Super Patriot or he had his phone out because he knew that she was escalating and likely was about to call the police on him and wanted proof he did nothing wrong. People use their phones to do this all the time now....he wasn’t trying to “start shit” he’s an avid bird watcher who didn’t want birds to be harmed cause that’s his thing.....I love poetry if I were reading a book in a library and someone started a loud conversation I would likely ask them to be quieter or move to a different area not meant for reading or studying to have their convo if they started yelling at me you bet I’d have my phone out to record the harassment.
Ruby Reduxx Your instincts are on point. She had several police reports filed against her in NY by a man who she allegedly stalked relentlessly, unfortunately for her the man wanted nothing to do with her. I wonder why 🤔.
@@superpatriot1052 I think that in an isolated area, why wouldn't you record your interaction. You seem oblivious. Says a lot about you. Not the guy.
Falsely reporting a crime is a crime unless another crime is occurring.
A “Karen” was once known as a “scold” and I believe that under Common Law being a common scold was a tort
Another great video Dr Grande. Whilst I don't disagree with your analysis of Amy Cooper, I do find that in a lot of these 'Karen' videos they are reacting badly to being filmed. I must admit, never in my life during an altercation with somebody have I ever thought to get out my phone to record the person and then to distribute it onto the internet. This does seem to me be an incredibly passive aggressive act, a kind of, 'I am going to involve the world in this trivial dispute and make you look bad to everybody' which to me seems like a narcisstic thing to do in itself.
Do you have any thoughts on the mindset of Mr Cooper and if those who record altercations with the intent to put it online to expose somebody are not themselves behaving badly? You say that he did nothing wrong, but I can't help but feel that he acted like a bit of a dick himelf in antagonising the woman and then exposing her to the world.
Not justifying her behaviour, or that of other Karens, but the internet is awash with these kinds of 'justice/vindication' type videos where people are savagely condemned for their behaviour, but little thought is given to the fact that they were responding to somebody sticking a camera in their face to record them, which is in my opinion at least an extremely antagonising and anti social thing to do.
I've had a random stranger take a picture of me before for a malicious intent, it felt so dehumanizing so I get her reaction
@@iloveamerica64 Definitely! I just don't get all the hate for this woman when she's alone in the woods, had a male stranger approach her, challenge her and then start recording her. To me she's just an ordinary human being having a primal limbic system reaction to feeling threatened.
Most of the responses to these kinds of videos are equally primal. We see a bad behaviour and instinctively want to call out and sound our allegiance to the tribe. Thus some people write nasty comments, even petition for the person in the video to lose their job, and rejoice if it happens, as if it's some kind of karmic justice.
All it is, is people having primal limbic reactions and not critically evaluating their feelings.
@@kevinbrook7033 I know. People went nuts over this poor woman. She obviously felt threatened. And she gets blamed. Terrible.

Yahki that is EXACTLY what I thought of when I head about this women.
What's the personality profile of a guy walking around with dog treats in his pocket, but no dog, who's threatening the dogs of women in the park, then recording their reactions so that he can become a famous victim?
I always think about the tik tok of a mother named Karen who wanted to change her name because of “all the jokes about Karens on Facebook” 😂💀
No doubt
The women I actually know named Karen are wonderfully interesting,charming, competent,and stable.♥️
However, most of the Karen's I know are dudes!
The GIVEAWAY was when she said, "I'm going to TELL THEM that there is an African American man threatening my life!" (That was a PURE THREAT by her. The 'TELL THEM' implies that she KNOWS he's not doing that, but THAT'S what she's going to 'TELL THEM'.) She didn't ask the guy WHY are you doing this, she went STRAIGHT to threatening him with the police. He was in no way a threat to her. She then lied while making a false report, acting distressed and hysterical to panic the responding officers. HAD the police arrived promptly there is a significant possibility Christian Cooper might have been shot. (Officers are trained to contain the threat FIRST and assess the situation LATER.) Amy Cooper should be CHARGED and JAILED for making a false report to police, reckless endangerment, animal cruelty AND running a dog in The Ramble off-leash. But she WON'T BE because she's a rich White lady. (IMAGINE if she was a screaming, hysterical BLACK lady making false accusations against a WHITE Harvard Grad Professional to Police officers?) She's a DISGRACE and if the city of NY don't CHARGE HER then so are they. ZERO TOLERANCE NOW for this ABSOLUTE RACISM! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! xx SF
Steve, come to NYC and ride the subways..Karen meets Worldstar
Not that my opinion matters, but I absolutely agree with all those charges. I'm also glad to see that you added animal cruelty in there, because it was egregious and an important part of that entire horrific scene. Her mental state in that moment was... Just out of control. She was so out of control and focused on threatening this man that she didn't even pay attention to her dog being strangled and screaming in pain when it's neck was snapped backwards.
WELL SAID...
You DO realize that he, according to his OWN WORDS, threatened her, right? Sure she overreacted, and injected racism, but he initially made an ominous threat against her. If you dont know, he said to her (according to him) "you better put your dog on a leash. If you dont, you wont like what Im gonna do". He then proceeded to get something out of his pocket and tried to call the dog over. If I was the recipient of those words/actions, Id take that as a serious threat. Of course, I wouldnt be walking my dog w/o a leash, and I wouldnt call the cops or inject race; Id get the F out of there. Shes terrible. But he is as much a Karen as her, and not enough people are acknowledging that.
God have mercy on HER
*KAREN* Knew she could use the police as a weapon against an innocent man, she called the cops to make a false report and dramatized the situation by choking her dog, am glad she was fired.

She has indeed been charged with a misdmeanor. She has also recently been charged with a second equally serious offense as it has been determined that she made a second 911 call that was not recorded on video.
She WAS thinking. That’s why she said “African-American” instead of the “N” word.
She knew exactly what she was doing and thought she was covering her bigotry. That’s why she didn’t care that she was being recorded.

Karen
Hi Dr ! We don t know what happ before Mr Cooper started the video, what was the verbal exchange and so on. His act of starting the video could be regarded as challenging. Her act could be a heightened response in the given circumstances. I don t want to find excuses for Ms Cooper, but what if she really got scared and exhibited a fight or flight behaviour ? She clearly lost awareness of the situation when she was chocking the puppy.
I am 74 years old. I learned before I was twenty that Caucasians hate the dark color of my skin. It is an obsession that most never overcome. So very stoooopid
“Antisocial and narcissistic”. I suppose racist would fit into the antisocial aspect of this particular Karen. Thank you, Dr. Grande, for not only a great analysis of this, but also your straight-faced smiting humor. Nailed it.
I'm of the opinion that racism is a mental illness. and by her emphasis on the 911 call that an " "African American" man was threatening her... takes it way out of the (pardon the pun) park and disqualifies her behavior as "no more than most people".
Thanks for bringing up her shift in tone of voice, I find it strange that most people are not commenting about how not only was she making threats, but as she was not only making these threats, but she was "acting" and changing her voice to make it sound like she was in distres and in increasing danger, and I think that speaks to her level of intent as well. She didn't just stand there and say in a bitchy tone that she was being threatened, she acted out a heightened levela of fear and made it sound like she was dealing with an increasingly aggressive *imminent threat.*
Exactly. This wasn't just a moment. Her intent was to create a lethal situation for this man.
I listened to that recording and I also heard her have a change in tone. My thinking is she heard herself tell the police that a man is recording her and knew the police would never come out for that. That's why she switched her tone mid-sentence to something more hysterical and with more dangerous allegations. She knew then the police will come out for an accusation like that. It's truly disgusting Behavior because she was fully aware of what she was doing. It shows real malice
Her actions were deliberate and malicious. Furthermore, her Shakespearean simulation and the change in the stress level of her voice was premeditated and calculated to play on an age old , stereotypical fear of 'a large scary black man' attacking an innocent white woman, clutching her pearls.
This was some straight up scary DW Griffiths 'Birth of a Nation' Klannish terroristic shit.
So what does this do to the "believe all women" movement? In the name of equality, is anyone now prepared to admit there is *also* such a thing as toxic femininity?
Not only that, she told him that she was going to call the cops and tell them that he was threatening her. Which was a BOLD ASS LIE. He should've pressed charges like a motherfucker. She threatened HIS life!
Yes, phycology, when a person states premeditated intent; It shows there is an understanding of social perception and cause and effect.
Disagree...any male approaching a lone woman in a secluded area saying she wasn't going to like what he was going to do is a threat, and if you are frightened you react accordingly.
Also, how I it racist to mention the man's colour when going a description to the police? It's going to help identify someone if a crime us committed.
The woman overreacted but she was scared...
The whole thing would have been avoided if the man had his manager there that she could talk to.
Nice one. Took me a couple of seconds....
Stephen Mason 😂😂😂😂😂
Perfect!
LM"Oooo
you win the comment of the day
I think it's important to note that Amy did not just tell Christian "I'm going to call 911 and tell them an African American man is threatening me". She said "I'm going to call 911 and tell them an African American man is threatening *my life*."
It could have been premeditated murder if cops showed up. Stay safe fam
She was telling a *Black* man that she was calling the police because she was being threatened by a *Black* man. Okay, let's say the police need that info. What's the point in giving the ethnicity detail to the actual Black man?
She was right. She got fired so her livelihood took a big hit
@Uncle Bob obviously your not paying attention
Uncle Bob fake account. Wish you had time for doing more constructive things
But that sounds like a threat to me: "If you are gonna do what you want. I am gonna do what I want... and you're not gonna like it."
It is a threat. It's a chargeable offense but barely anybody gives that little tidbit any notice.
She's a nutcase, but he has plenty of blame here.
I don't like it when people have their dogs unleashed either, so at first I liked Christian Cooper's trick of offering the dog a treat. (The owner will immediately leash their dog because they are afraid the treat is poisoned.) Christian Cooper says, "Okay, if you're going to do what you want, then I'm going to do what I want, and you're not going to like it." That is a (vague) threat. He did not directly threaten her life or threaten to assault her, but he did threaten her.
I'm in retail so I have to interact with these Karen's a lot, in their natural habitats. I've noticed Karen's are in their worst form while part of a pack. They fuel each other's sense of entitlement, and feel more powerful. Two of them attempted to humiliate me during my shift yesterday. I was so upset my hands were shaking, I hate when my emotions are visible like that.
Thanks for sharing your experience... They piss me off too...
I am sorry u have to put up with that !
the same thing happens to me, i think they seek me out
What did they do or say?
I ran into a "Karen" in a small store over the weekend. While the store had well-defined COVID-19 procedures, this "Karen" decided to pretend that she didn't understand the procedures and tried to have her shopping experience "her way." I gave kudos to the retailer in handling her obvious phony theatrics. I would have called her on her behavior and kicked her out of the store. Glad I no longer work with the public!
She has to be one of the karenest Karens to ever karen...
@Blue Butterfly Except that at the suggestion she follow the rules like everybody else, she tries to get a man falsely arrested and choked out her dog. That's harm being done. And there's a reason why the leashes are required. Not following the rule is also exposing others to harm and liability.
@Blue Butterfly Unless you're being sarcastic, you are just as much of a Karen as Karen, herself, and part of the problem.
Will the real karen please stand up, please stand up
@@Refining1 counter signal shaquandas harder with your failed karen BS plz

Dr. Grande name shaming? The name Karen should no longer be used. A behavior can be labeled with millions of adjectives other than someone's name. If you suddenly had your name represent everything that is wrong in this world, how would you feel? Would you like to feel embarrassed to tell someone your name? Be aware that Karen-isms can cause more than just irritation; they can be harmful. Stereotyping is never fair, kind, or just - it's always unjust. It is very unfair to the innocent and uninvolved individuals named Karen.
Karen
It's not even 5 am in Australia and I'm here for it. Your a beacon of light Dr Grande 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✨💫✨
She didn’t feel the need to adjust her behavior, even tho she was being filmed, bc time and time again we’ve been shown that even when Black people getting wrongly treated is captured on camera, it doesn’t matter. There’s always a potential reason for guilt when it comes to black people even when there’s no evidence to suggest it
Exactly. Read the first post above and see how some racist is demanding "context" and claiming Mr. Cooper was "also in the wrong" despite zero evidence to back it up and every bit of evidence showing that woman used her white privilege to try and get him killed. I'm not black but the systemic and entrenched racism against black people in our country is so obvious, so clear, that I believe people have to be willfully and criminally ignorant in order not to see it.
Amen Amen Amen
Also the boldness and entitlement hell they dont try to even walk away. They forgot about the other white folks that got fired cause of their stupid racism. Racist integrity is better then paying the bills.
@@annagitana1 . I'm just taking a moment to soak in your refreshingly, articulate and valid, comment
Every one of these disgusting cases NEED to be prosecuted. They need to be seen as one of the many many roots of police brutality. It cannot be OK to do attempted murder by cop. Cops need to start questioning 911 callers and leave behind the assumption that the caller is always truthful when they are reporting things to the police. The assumption of innocence cannot end with a 911 call.
So, basically what you’re saying is, Amy Cooper is highly “Karenistic?”
Will be listed in the next ICDM 😆
The bahavoir traits are highly Karenistic of Amy yes.
I am no expert, but I believe she has Karenisstic Personality Disorder. So sad.
Oh that's what we call racism now, ok
Heinz Müller Yeah. Inclusion or whatever. Pure foolishness.
A judge just dismissed Amy Cooper of all charges. And, have ordered for her records of the incident cleared. FYI
Isn’t that because he refused to press charges against (one of too many) Karen? (S)
I hate the “Karen” label… this is a hijack of a perfectly beautiful name to make it seem mean
One good thing came out of this. The poor dog is not in her care anymore.
I know this is a nice sentiment but since a lot of people are liking it I want to note that another very good result was that her racism was exposed (maybe now she can try to change) and Mr. Cooper was not wrongly accused of something. We should be careful not to put the narrative of the dog above the human life even though I’m very happy the dog is also safe.
@@kirsten9729 100% agree
Well, as a Black person, in all due respect I think that more people see the worryingly unjust effects of insiduous and unchecked White privilege on the lives of non-White people in America. I personally consider myself as being worth more than a dog so the one good thing is actually about recognizing African-Americans as people and not target practice through excessive use of force by the police, which is finally entering public discourse. I am an animal lover and the dog is important, but I beg to differ that it's the "one" good thing that came out of this.
Adidas Love yes. ❤️❤️❤️.
And all the racist apologists in this comment section is worrying to me.
I mean, I’m no babe I’m the woods, lol. I know it exists. I’m in the unique situation of having a sister who is 13 months older than me (same olds story/joke to my mother as well as all women having problems conceiving: “adopt a baby. You’ll immediately get pregnant.!” ). They did, and a few months later my mom did. This was in 1966, and my sister is not Caucasian. So the story goes it causes quite an uproar in our middleclass white neighborhood. She was 2 days old when brought home. Between my progressive father who took on anything because it was “the right thing to do, and my mother who was just so delighted to have a baby, ANY baby.
A year later I was born and being so close in age we did everything together. We both grew up being told she was adopted, but my 3 year old self didn’t know the meaning of the word. I assumed “adopted” meant she had brown skin because everyone else in the family (I had 2 more younger siblings by now) were white.
My mom tells the story now that I would cry “I wanna be adopted too!” 😩😩. I was so jealous of her brown skin and thick kinky hair vs my pasty white skin and thin hair.
As we grew she was the typical “first born” high achiever, well behaved (I was a wild child) and having that experience I guess was very instrumental in how I view race relations today.
She was my sister, I didn’t see her as any different. But I saw how OTHERS saw her as “different.”
My childhood dynamic was a gift that lets me see people of color as regular humans that others raised in white suburbia never got to have.
I remember in 5th grade a classmate of mine (who didn’t know my sister was black and Filipina) said “oh black people spend all their money on cars so they have to live in ghettos.
I said “WHAT?”
She said “yeah , my dad told me that.”
5th grade and I still remember that conversation.
Please people, if you has the same kind of parents as Renee Vara did, PLEASE break the cycle.
Please.

Yes, fortunately, thousands of teens can now riot in any city without any chance of being apprehended, charged, and prosecuted, because, you know.
True Story. Last year I moved into a flat next door to a woman named Karen. I introduced myself and she told me she had just adopted two kittens (I like animals). Next time we spoke I said I had seen one of the kittens in her window and it was cute. Suddenly she asks "are you trying to poison my cats?" As you can imagine, I was very taken aback and said "of course not." She continued "someone is posting poisoned cat food through my door" and "I know my cats bother you" (I only saw one of them once and they are never let out and certainly make no noise). Instantly I replied "no they don't!" (bother me). As you can imagine, I now avoid this woman like a taste session at a Chinese wet market situated next to a biolab. Do you think that she is suffering from catatonia? ;-)
p.s It really is a true story and her name is actually Karen but I couldn't resist the pun.
Pun aside, she suffer multiple paranoid delusions. Suggest she watch this video & read the comments and then/or keep your distance.
The way she redirected her emotion from her dog struggling because she was choking it into her voice to add authenticity to her feigned distress to get the police to arrive in an agitated state went a long way towards showing what kind of person she is. She would have used anything she could no matter who got hurt to get back at that man for daring to make her follow the rules.
I thought I was the only one that noticed that. Her dog crying out rattled her, and she used it to her advantage.
Exactly! you analyze this perfectly... 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
bullseye...good catch
And, Mr. Cooper, being an Audubon NY board member, would have an understanding of the threat posed by unleashed dogs to ground-nesting birds, unlike the ignorance of Princess Karen. So much for alt-rt white supremacy. Couple days in the slammer might clear her head.
What happened before the recording should be investigated. She was already very upset by then and the guy approached her to give him some treat he happened to have. Something tells me the whole story puts some blame on Mr Cooper. Trial by media like this sucks.
She’s so afraid of him..yet SHE approaches HIM. Sure Karen
Yeah if she was so afraid she would have walked away. Or you know kept her mask on.
This only half the story. Mr C riled her up then recorded her. By his own admission he tried to give something to her dog to take when she told him not too. See the full facebook post for what happened before the recording began. It is told by MR C so I suspect he tried to make her seem as irrational as possible. Odd he chose to post this. It clearly makes him an aggressor. He should also apologize for ruining her life with that video. It doesn't tell the whole story. Looking forward to the insults.
@@aixamagr2897 She's the only reason that: 1) there even IS a video, and 2) that it's the kind of video she made it be.
I thought this was the weakest part of this video. Fight is a known fear response so irrationally going on the offensive could be a reaction to being afraid. There are other aspects in the video being analysed that should have been broken down to show us why that isn't what we are seeing here. I think we can all tell it's a performance of a fight response rather than an actual one, and that's before it gets near her making the call.
She wasn’t afraid of him, Never was. She didn’t like him telling her what to do. She wanted to be seen. She wanted to seen as a caring person who has spent the time to train her dog so much that it could be off leash. Isn’t she great. No one will mess with her because she is such a strong person and if they did, one signal from her and the dog would destroy them.
That was her thought of how others would see her as.
Reality - it would not have mattered who told her to put her dog on its leash. Someone questioning her outward appearance destroys her illusion.
She just used a tool that would put fear in that persons mind.
Black/Hispanic the fear of the police being called on them.
Asians would have been an accent or their education.
White - attacking their social status/job.
All of them are designed to make someone inferior to them.
Something tells me she was in a sorority in college and this is how they dealt with outsiders.
Thank You for the personality profile on a Karen. ❤️
It's a bit concerning though the increasing number of 'female Karens' (haven't come across a male one yet).
Did He really just use psychology to analyze and troll Karens as a personality disorder? LOL loving this!!
For me,the situation altered radically when her voice changed and she began to hysterically claim she was been attacked by an "African-American man" (gotta be PC). At that point, the police would have thought she was being physically or sexually assaulted (which has happened in Central Park) and would have arrived not only with "heightened awareness" but most probably guns drawn. Mr Cooper would have been man-handled, at the least, and possibly dead. She is the epitome of a Karen...and hopefully everyone recognizes how dangerous they can be.
But his response is that people are being too harsh towards her.
Kirby Augustine too harsh with the death threats
She tried to get him assassinated, and should be dealt with accordingly.
As long as these manipulative cunts won’t get held accountable, nothing will change.

He said, "We'll see about that," then pulled the treats in his pocket which he wrote he carries "for such intransigence." Those actions after a vague threat would make any reasonable person believe he's about to do something harmful to the dog.

Or put her behind bars. What she did on camera is potentially a misdemeanor.
Using "Karen" as a name for "Karens" is very unfair to all the Karens who are not "Karens".
When you use Karen as a slang term to mean "bad" or "vile" you slowly perpetuate feelings of anger and hate being directed at people named Karen. A name is very important to your identity. It is one of the first things your parents give you. Endorphins are released in a person’s brain when they hear their name spoken. It is like your own personal song that makes your brain happy. I understand this all started as a joke and in the beginning it was a little funny, but we are going on years of the world telling us, Karens are vile. Many Karens have legally changed their name because of the backlash it is causing. Using it or not is up to you but just know it is causing harm.
Another thought - the police don’t seem to change their behaviour when being videotaped either.
That would be a deep rabbit hole to go down.
Thats because the police think they're not only going to stop you filming they're going to confiscate the footage. That never seems to work out for them does it ?
Heather W Excellent point!
I disagree. I think all parties are influenced by the presence of cameras. They just still occasionally catch stuff.
Exactly. Like the video of George Floyd. Four policemen, one with foot on his neck, you can hear George say he can't breath. There was no attempt to stop the recording..and then came the riots.
She didnt restrain herself bc she didn't feel the need to. That's how much she was confident of her whiteness and that it would work out in her favor
Also that she is a female of her age.

@Ken Mason omg, that's insane. It's like the smallest of critism is persieved as an attack on them.
My ex backed into a car in the parking lot of a park and this family who happened to be near simply said she should leave a note on the car, per usual. My ex jumped out of the car screaming at these poor people like she was on the jerry springer show 😓 It was soooo embarrassing and unnecessary, I had to physically put her into our car.
Long story short, they called the cops, the cops came house, and she was forced to give the insurance info.
PS the fan said I was cool tho
Same here, this one girl I dated actually wanted me to treat her like she's was my wife of 20 years. After 2 weeks she was so over bearing I had to create distance. Of course she played the victim HARD, a very manipulative woman. A behavior to keep an eye out for is when someone makes you feel really bad for not doing exactly what they want you to do. Disgusting.
@@KingSlayer_. Yup, I hear ya. Big lesson I learned was "don't ignore the red flags, no matter what".
Thank you for explaining the (for a lack of a better term on my part) logic behind Karen's. I usually use the phrase "fine" F'ed up, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional. So to me Karen's are really just fine.
This Christian guy sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders.
Dana Chapin They ruin squirrel watching too 😒
They are just nasty, selfish, entitled people.
They must be so miserable. I know I’m miserable when around them.
Burnt Blonde Their giddiness and delight emanates from *terrorizing you:* That’s not “miserable.”
It’s bold, thrill-seeking, superiority, lack of conscience with an extra large side order of straight up sadism.
The only “misery” here is that inflicted on the victim.
“Karen” didn’t feel threatened, she just didn’t want him saying anything to her, and decided to use her “privilege” on some type of, oh I know how to handle this ninja....
Yes she did. And that shit backfired on her so quick that she gave some insincere apology. They should have signs that read " No Karens allowed"
A man comes up to you to say your breaking the leash laws, jaywalking, street parking without paying and says stop it. You don't and his response is then I will do what I have to and starts recording you. You think this is normal behavior and no alarm belks go off? You think this is his first time going up to a woman committing a mild infraction and says stop or else I will record you? A 6 foot 4 inch 260 pound man would get the same treatment from this busy body. This is his thing. He looks for confrontation against anyone he can intimidate.
Paul Aspen Canada projecting much? How do you know him, his intentions and what he does on a regular basis?
@@itsnotme-jl9jt You sound crazy. Did you Not see HER get in the guy's face pointing with her Entitlement? Apparently not, all you saw is a white woman and the Big Black man and the poor dog. If you live in Canada, I see why you all are going in the same Racist direction as the USA.
@@jtim83 well he admitted to carrying dog treats to lure unleashed dogs to cause the owners to leash the dogs. So his intentions and pattern is pretty self evident.
Not sure if it was available at the time this video was made, but the 911 call showed that the reason Amy was getting louder and more exasperated was because the connection was so bad that the operator wasn't responding to anything she was saying. The media made a huge deal out of that part of the incident without checking their assumptions, but it shouldn't be held as evidence she was faking fear or had a pathological personality.
People this psychotic should never be allowed near animals, much less have a pet.
I agree. Christian was out of line. Did you read what he said to her and the dog before he stared recording. Scandalous!
Its true she was being recorded, and she didn't even stop, that's crazy...
Just like the murdering cops in Minnesota.
She is not crazy. She was caught up in so much White Privilege. Hate. No she would have gotten off.
Are you people really this dumb? The guy who recorded this admitted to confronting and threatening her and her dog. She was a woman alone being threatened by a stranger. But that’s okay because he was black? Seriously , how stupid can you be?
@@JFK-ir7yz You a Dam lie. That guy NEVER admiited that lying ass piece of shit.
JFK35 517 Yeah, he would have called the police on her, but you assume it was a physical threat because why....?
This video had so much shade that it got cold in here
𝕍𝕆𝕃𝔸𝕀ℝ𝔼 The “Karens” are most likely freezing. 🥶
😂😂😂😂
@gerard dearie I've attained "middle class white woman" status and have been in pain because of all the racist things I've seen escalating.
gerard dearie why do you paint all with the same brush ...not a very intelligent comment 🤬
𝕍𝕆𝕃𝔸𝕀ℝ𝔼 said Karen
Her charges were DISMISSED because she went to five classes!
Disgusting.
I love that Dr. Grande's video is the third one from the top on CZcams when you search for "Amy Cooper." You're goin' places Doc! :)
