Video Shows Racist Florida Woman Harassing Landscapers, Screaming at Police as She’s Arrested

A particularly hateful Karen was arrested after spewing racist slurs at a group of landscapers in Orlando, Florida.

The verbal attack was caught on video, but what makes this incident stand out from the rest is how the landscapers handled the situation with grace. While the footage doesn’t show what led to the outburst, it looks like the woman was mad about the noise the crew was making.

At first, she began screaming, “You fucking bitch” at the group of men, a countless number of times. One of the landscapers then looks at the camera and says, “This is the type of shit we go through, man,” with another one saying, “We didn’t even do nothing. We out here working—it’s 94 degrees.”

1. Why weren't the cops yelling

"Stop resisting"

[Jeebo]

2. That Karen apparently possesses a five-word vocabulary.

Those five words are:

1. Yeah

2. You

3. Fuckin'

4. N*****

5. Bitch

She kept screaming those five words, in that order, over and over and over. If she knows any words other than those five, it is not apparent from watching this video.

I'd like to know, what was it that set her off?

6. The landscaping crew made noise with their machines. nt

[Aristus]

7. Meth?

I'm just saying: Florida, racist, redneck, screaming meltdown.

9. She just wanted to show off how well she did on the cognitive test.

Those evidently were the five words she heard.

"You get extra points if you get them in order."

[paranoid floyd]

10. This is good.

[tblue37]

3. So cool. The owner of the landscaping company started a GoFundMe to give his crew a paid

day off. He aimed for $400.00, but it's now over $2200, and he'll use the extra to pay for a hotel & a nice dinner for them.

That is so sweet!

[dewsgirl]

4. This makes me happy.

[Hoyt]

14. Good. Those guys deserve it after putting up with her nastiness.

[Nictuku]

5. I think her problem is more than racism

I just got the feeling that she was not right, in the mind.

I guess I could say that about all racists, if I think about it, but her repetitiveness... I think there was something more going on with her. I hope she gets the help she needs (and that she can hold back her filthy racist mouth)

12. The simplest explanation is she's just an asshole

There's no shortage of assholes who allow themselves to be ruled by their emotions and the result is exactly what we've seen here.

But let's just give her the benefit of the doubt here and say she does suffer from bipolar disorder. If this is the case, she has to know something is wrong with her. Treatment is available, and even severe manic episodes can be treated with drugs. So regardless, she has at least some control over herself and chooses not to address it, ergo she's an asshole.

17. No racist is right in the mind.

[mahina]

20. Clearly

I don’t know how anybody could miss it but they do

You guys really handled themselves admirably.

Boss should just give them the money

[Skittles]

11. the last time I saw workers like this, I gave them some ice cold Rock Stars

it was very hot out

ME NO KAREN

[3catwoman3]

13. Oh.My.

She is either on something she shouldn’t be, or off something she should be taking.

Her vocabulary is the size of Trump’s.

[Fla Dem]

15. Woman is clearly unstable. But also racist. Clearly has mental problems.

[TomSlick]

16. I am becoming concerned that we ought not make fun of these people.

We ought not make fun of the mentally ill and this poor woman clearly ain't right.

[Major Nikon]

18. According to the Orlando police she was taken to a mental institution for evaluation

I think it goes without saying she has mental health issues, but so does Trump. I'm not so sure that excuses them for their actions.

[TomSlick]

19. Good point, Major.

Trump's mental illness makes him pitiable but not defensible.

However, the woman in the video is simply nuts.

[Major Nikon]

22. Lots of people fit that description

However that doesn’t necessarily mean they aren’t still responsible for their actions.

Consider the woman in Iowa who ran over the teen girl for having brown skin. That woman is undoubtedly nuts, yet the court ruled she could be held criminally responsible for her actions.

[TomSlick]

24. True. The bar for an insanity defense is very high.

Nevertheless, I am beginning to have qualms about mocking the mentally ill. Well, except for Trump.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

21. A lot of us are old enough to remember when Ronnie Reagan emptied the hospitals.

Remember when he said he was going to cut funding for state mental hospitals, because they would just "mainstream" the mentally ill to society?

This is the result of 40 years of this kind of bullcrap budget cutting and amplification of hate speech. Look up "stochastic terrorism". That is what Trump is promoting with plausible deniability (Nixon era term).

[ploppy]

23. Our country will pay for that forever.

I remember when it happened like it was yesterday.
