A woman has been dubbed the 'new Central Park Karen' after she was filmed claiming two black women had beaten her for refusing to return their phone charger.

The unidentified woman was filmed smirking while on the phone to cops in New York's Central Park earlier this week after being confronted by vlogger Alana Lambert and her friend, both of whom are black.

Lambert said her portable charger fell from her friend's CitiBike as they vlogged in the famed beauty spot, but that the mystery woman then picked it up and refused to return it without proof it was theirs.

Oy vey. What is so hard just to give the charger back?

[ifinnegan]

What, they jointly own the phone charger?

[absalom01]

Looks like a setup to me.

One thing is certain, it didn’t belong to the person who found it. And she knew it. No harm in just giving it to someone else who claims it as theirs.

I agree. It isn’t my job to determine who owns what. I might bring it to a lost and found, but if someone comes up and says it is theirs, I hand it over and go on my way.

As the article point out, it is now illegal to make a false 911 call in the state of NY.

But I don’t see that anyone was arrested.

Why have laws if they will be selectively enforced?

Why pick up a used dirty charger with coronavirus on it?

“Why pick up a used dirty charger with coronavirus on it?”

She was protected, she had a mask on.

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I thought the term for such a person was “Becky,” not “Karen.”

Karens are the ones who nag people in general about masks and such.

[Bernard]

She should have used her mask to pick up the charger and put it in a garbage can. End of story.

[9YearLurker]

Exactly.

What is wrong with people?

Wonder who ‘their’ support went to last Nov. Democommie are known racis’. Just look at how lifeguard joe oppressed “corn pop” and his pals.

[rktman]

“... proof it was theirs...” Did they at least have proof of vaccine shots? If you have that the world is your oyster.

[reasonisfaith]

All incidents of “racism” are to be considered CIA/FBI orchestrated media events done for the purpose of advancing the same old scapegoat method used by the Nazis, until proven otherwise.

[mowowie]

I am leaning towards....this is yet another fraud.

[gundog]

Did she refer to them as “two gays” before they asked if she was racist?

[Fester Chugabrew]

Garbage headline. Garbage story. Garbage Writing. So here’s my garbage post.

[chuckee]

I don’t like the Karen. She’s nuts, but the two with the charger lost me when they said “are you a racist” That word is so overused that it no longer has any meaning. The cop should have taken the charger and kept it for himself.

[Viking2002]

Boy howdy, there are some ugly Karens out there.......*woof*
