What should we do with people like this?
- black_puppydog 6y agoDunno, give them a gun and hire them for community police work? /s
- imesh 6y agoI don't live in an area with any BLM protests. Instead our boring town has started to freak out about mythical child nappers. Cars have been searched and people have been beaten up by there over reactive types. Different politics, same attitudes.

- thibran 6y agoAsk if her name is Karen? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_(pejorative) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_(pejorative)
- dang 6y agoPlease don't do this here.
- centimeter 6y agoNot let them vote, for starters.
- NikolaeVarius 6y agoI legitimately don't understand these types of reactions. At most, this should have prompted is "Well thats different"
- brazzy 6y agoYou have read the title and know the woman is not being harmed. You probably don't have to deal on a daily basis with drugged and mentally unstable people, unlike someone who works in an emergency room.
- stronglikedan 6y agoWe used to ignore them. I still do.
- brazzy 6y agoForgive them for misinterpreting a very unusual situation?
- FooBarBizBazz 6y agoShe jumped to the conclusion that the big man was a threat, and that he was abusing his wife. She discounted the possibility of a loving heterosexual relationship. I hope her priors have been changed.
- YeGoblynQueenne 6y agoHer priors are fine. This will most likely never happen again to her, or anyone else.
- extro 6y agoPlenty other situation will happen where her false gender-discrimination will surface again. But she is just an indoctrinated weak woman, she have the freedom to yell at anybody at any place in any situation and we just have to accept it, because reasons.
- centimeter 6y agoPeople with a terrible idiot stress response should learn to not interject in unusual situations.
- II2II 6y agoPerhaps. On the other hand, she played a role in escalating the situation. It took a doctor stepping in to find out why the woman was being held upside down. Context should be an important factor when deciding to intervene and how to intervene. If I encountered such a situation in a hospital, I would have interpreted it as unusual and beyond my comprehension, but it would not have struck me as an intent to cause harm. People tend to go to a hospital for help. Those who hurt others in a hospital would likely do so through violence. I'm not suggesting that she should not have intervened, but she (and the security guard) should have understood the situation first.
