Woman Who Called Police On Black Girl Selling Water To Go To Disneyland Comes Under Fire | TODAY
source
What a waste of time! “Karen”deserves to be humiliated on tv and shunned by the locals
meh, who cares if she's selling water. No big deal, the lady was stupid for calling the police.. with that said, i don't care for "ice mom". She seems like trash. Talks one way when recording then another while being interviewed. PICK ONE!!!
People like this are just ridiculous and racist. Unbelievable
Good for her
So the coloreds are immune from obeying the law? Don't like it change the law. These are the same people who cry about Donald Trump and the rule of law I guess unless you are a darkie
Crocodile tears
That lady should be ashamed. Call her Permit Karen. She was even hiding behind a wall, what a horrible person.
I guess the Girl Scouts need a permit too?
Get rid of this woman. We don’t need racists. We do not tolerant kids being treated like this.
I’m personally disappointed that I didn’t know about this when it happened or I would have sent her a deat……….e-mail
This IS a racist country. PERIOD
How about some reperations? Haven't our house negros forgiven WS enough by now after 400yrs? Permit Patty was wiling to have her beloved guns destroy another black family.
My Beautiful Black Peoples. Millions of DoAS lives have been destroyed because of our willingness to forgive.
I thought it was the woman who wanted to go to Disneyland
Its fair to say Im neutral for I am neither black nor white. Ignoring all the skin colors, I see little girl selling bottle of water while a woman trying to stop that. Not the best humane act from the woman I think. Could have been a beautiful story if a woman helps a little girl selling drinking water to earn tickets to Disneyland.
White privilege? They were minding the're own business's
Those white people just complain and being racist with people from another races
That lady was gross,, but who plans a trip to Disney land after losing your job,, the trip alone will cost thousands
I remember this.
You know what the funniest thing about this is? That woman who complained sells weed. Talk about someone needing her own product. I can safely say no dispensary will ever be buying from her again.
Ew she’s such a Karen
Lol so I'm still at was the bbq allowed or not ?.
I’m Native American. Unfortunately, I hear racial remarks brought down from generations – one that irritates me the most “Indian giver”. People are stupid and you can’t fix hate and stupid. I don’t understand how someone can judge someone’s motive regarding either cases. If noice was the issue and I wanted to get rid of it, I would call the cops regardless of race. It would be scary if someone would say that it was racially motivated. That would be HORRIFIC!! I look at Matin Luther King Jr. also helping my people. This is wrong to call people out on this if they did not make racial slur. As far as the mother and child, it is shameful not to forgive. The Bible says blessed are the merciful…. and do onto others as you want it done upon you. This is wrong!!!
Miss piggy another nut job also would like to add you don't know it's about race.
I feel bad for you, but next time mind your own business
People are total crap today, haven’t American kids always sold stuff From their front gates, this sad woman needs to get a life or a job because she had too much nastiness about her. I hope she’s been well and truly shamed.
Permit Patty has a deep problem if she thinks the police need to be called on an 8 year old girl trying to make an honest living.
Too late to be sorry. She messed around and found out.
Hang in there Patty. You weren't wrong. Not accept an apology??? That woman has issues!
they are crazy to do that…to the child…
Don't say "white privilege" that's BS. Doesn't exist. This is a white liberal flake.
It was that smug tight lipped look. She knew very well that she was cop calling on a black child. Kids play basketball, they ride bikes, they sell girls out cookies…Some may break up your day, but who calls the cops on a child? She did and found out!
the kids mom is white too.
Cameras are exposing the extent of racism and bigotry that was existent but never seen before! Permit Patty needs to be deported.
At first, this lady thought that she had the power to call the police, and she did not think for a moment that this is a little girl and that this family needed every penny. If you think, even for a second, that you can oppress people, do not forget the power of God over you and that one day things will turn against you. This woman's behavior is nothing but racial discrimination. Ask God to soften their heart to accept your apology and instead of using the social media to show people what you are going through use it to apologize to them and leave it there. Trust me, one day they will accept it. So happy that this little girl will go to Disney.
Do you have a permit for me to feel sorry for you Karen?
She is just a racist white girl who wants to cause trouble. She is a karen through and through.
my god she was milking those 4 words at 2:12
Boycott Corrupt devil disneyland.
She should have though twice before being a b___ch and calling the cops for something insignificant like this.
……tears makes it all better…
Kids the world over have been selling lemonade and in this case water, on the sidewalk outside their homes for 100 years! This Karen needs to keep her mouth shut and if anything, indicted for wasting police time. She is a disgrace to society.
