A 'Karen' Calls Cops on a Kid
Jewish World Review ^ | September 30, 2022 | Lenore Skenazy

Posted on 10/02/2022 4:20:27 PM PDT by Twotone

A Meridian, Idaho, resident recently called the police department to demand a cop hurry over and apprehend an illegal solicitor — someone who'd knocked on her door to peddle without a permit. As reported by Deputy David Gomez, a School Resource Officer in Idaho City, on his lively Facebook Page, the caller told the cops she was sure the peddler "did not have a solicitor's license."

And as it turns out, she was right.

Because the peddler was a girl of about age 8. She was selling homemade cookies.

The officer arriving on the scene, a newbie, managed to track down the entrepreneurial menace. As he later explained to Deputy Gomez, this wasn't too hard, as she had not gotten too far from the complainant's home. And she was particularly easy to find because she was with her mom and baby sister, who was in a stroller. Said stroller also contained the crumbly contraband in question. In fact, the suspect actually approached the officer and said, "'Mr. Policeman, I am selling home-baked cookies... so that I can afford piano lessons. Would you like to buy some?"

She added that her older sister was a really good pianist, and she wanted to take lessons to be just like her. But her mom thought she should have some skin in the game by helping to pay for the lessons. Hence, the pastry peddling.

At that point, Gomez writes, "Our new officer did what any reasonably seasoned police officer would do in that situation."

He bought all the rest of the cookies.

If I remember correctly, Meridian Idaho is ground zero for busybody Karens. I can’t find the original article, but the person that turned in playground mom was named Karen..

And Californians wonder why they are so unpopular in Idaho.

we. . . don’t have any info that this was in fact a California transplant.

She could have been third generation Idaho. That info is not given.

Lot of people said that about Northeast folks moving to Florida, but it’s actually gotten redder in the last two decades.

Idaho sends the police over cookies being sold by an 8 year old and family while in California....

I read a Nextdoor.com post today about Chatsworth, Calif where a potential burglar was in someone’s driveway twice around 1am where his car was in the driveway. He has a security camera. The homeowner called 911 and they said they would not send the police out. The homeowner ended up going outside to confront the other guy......
“I was left arguing with 911 dispatch for literally 5 minutes and they told me unless he physically breaks into my home they won’t send police officers”

Comments to the poster were: “when seconds count, LAPD is only minutes (maybe hours) away. If ever”.

“Great police protection we pay for. “Don’t call us unless you attack the criminals then we will arrest you”

“A few years ago I had someone trying to pick my door lock at 3 am. He was literally trying to do it knowing we we were aware. I called police and they didn’t show up. I waited a little and called again and they said there were no police vehicles available in the area immediately. So I said fine, take your time, I will take this matter into my own hands and can’t guarantee it will end good. So they asked what I meant by that and if I had a gun. I said it’s not your problem anymore and doesn’t matter what I have. Within 5 minutes I had a helicopter and police by my house, but unfortunately the guy was gone as he heard the sirens”

Even if it wasn't a Californian, and it probably was, they're going to take the heat for a lot of bad things in Idaho. Just the nature of the beast.

Mischief Night here in NJ is the time to settle scores - with nasty neighbors or teachers...

The best I recall was watching a kid crap in the driveway of the neighborhood busybody/”call the police” type, then smear it on her car. Not just the door handles, but the actual windows as well.

This was a great place to grow up.
