I "read" Crome Yellow when I was 19 for a university writing class that was supposed to be a paper about Huxley's works. I should probably reread it now, because I am pretty sure I did a Pfizer-esque job on my literary review, by skipping a bunch of steps and leaving out all of the good stuff.
I agree...so unfair to all the Karen’s out there. Should be using a new word to describe these (both women and men) self appointed righteousness police. I can’t conceive of what they think gives them the right to be that way 🤯
I think we can all agree that Stacey is just doing her part to provide exceptional parenting to those poor children, not to mention simultaneously protecting society. Stacey is a strong, brave role model for us all.
Notice how she keeps saying "we" don't want you here, as though she's been unanimously elected representative of the entire community. I wish he'd challenged her on that.
No grandkids for her. And if her kids are as eye-poppingly neurotic and gobsmackingly fascistic as is she, then "we" don't want her kids to procreate, either. Win, win.
NOW, I am waiting for someone to ask "strong, brave" Stacey who is so concerned about society, what SHE does with her used masks when she is done with them. Does she put them out in the general trash, or does she use a designated biohazard container? That's what I would have asked her. Bet that would have shut her up!
Then show her a barrage of pics depicting birds, turtles, fish, and other sea life strangled by masks along with beach fronts looking like a dumpster pile of them.
I couldn't watch the whole thing. When she got to "there's elderly people around here," I had to turn it off. The mere existence of "elderly people" means no one can drink a beverage outdoors from an open container. An "open container"! I moved to Florida in January 2021, and when I see dispatches like this from other places, I honestly don't know whether they're staged or real.
And bless her heart, she apparently thinks "elderly people" don't have the mental capacity to think for themselves and decide if they want a glass of lemonade ... sigh.
Or Michigan's nursing homes. I'm elderly and she does NOT speak for me or many of my peers. At least Howard Hughes had the decency to hide himself away and not force the rest of us to cater to his germophobia. BTW, the opening of the movie "Aviator" is quite interesting.
Yes, I remember it. The Hughes story makes me so sad, if he'd lived today I think much could be done to help him, with our greater understanding and treatment of OCD.
You wonder how many little Howard Hughes types are being molded today by their parents. I know a child (her mother looks remarkably like our Stacy here) who seems to never take off her mask. Has a mask to match her every outfit. Masked in her yard at play, masked on her bike. Oh she loves her mask!! Mom wanted to force everyone at the Farmer's Market to get vaxxed, back before her darling was eligible. The child is doomed, on so many levels.
Vinay Prasad has been documenting some of the crazier stuff, and he's obviously much more "mainstream" than most of the Substackers I read. Some of it is really disturbing. Jha, for example, is an open propagandist for PFE who has completely lost touch with reality. I guess this woman really is real. Wow, though.
If he doesn't win by a landslide...I don't know what to say except "Voter fraud!". He is so great, and looks pretty presidential to me. I'm in California, and everyone in the country knows what sort of grinning pestilence we have for a governor. I'm happy for you. And green with envy.
I know - but easier said than done, when your partner is 79 years old. He's fit and healthy but stubborn as an ox and likes his hermit crab life. Venus in Cancer - it's hard to get him to make the changes at this stage in his life, just mentally and emotionally. I'll threaten to just go alone if he doesn't shift soon. The problem is, we're in a beautiful place that would weather the storm pretty well. But it's still California, and at 65 I still work my okole off to make ends meet. Gas is still almost $7. I dream of Baja. He's gonna get there. I'll get out the cattle prod.
Umm, actually that's where I am, and have been for 29 years. Mendocino County, at the heart of the Emerald Triangle. Where everything that's wrong right now "is Trump's fault". Where thousands of people have lost their minds with fear over covid and opted for the jab. Wth happened to the hippies and their "question authority" -? I'll tell you what happened, they all entered the bureaucracy and academia. Lastly, where there is overwhelming fear and despair right now over the cannabis industry going tits up in a ditch. Utter economic collapse. Imagine 90% of the inhabitants of Martha's Vineyard suddenly losing their incomes. No more dinners at Campground and the French Laundry, no more winters spent surfing in Costa Rica, no more post-harvest jaunts to Oaxaca and Bali. Many people have never held jobs, ever, all they know is how to grow pot. And all the other businesses, the clothing stores, the restaurants, everything, has all been supported by that. And boom, just like that, it's over. People can't even pay their utility bills. To say nothing of $7 gas. You wanna see some tears, people are suicidal. It's so beautiful here. And so dysfunctional. Time to leave.
But it's not as if old people living somewhere in the neighborhood are even going to the lemonade stand. It can't exist, because it *might* not be the best choice for some people? Does this woman picket fast food joints? Trash the displays of candy bars at grocery stores? Light cigarette ads on fire? Go Carrie A. Nation on bars? (I get that you're being facetious, but even if these old people would be at a markedly elevated risk of death from drinking one of these cups of lemonade, her reaction is insane.)
I give DeSantis credit for not being evil, but the real victory here is in the people. They would just laugh out loud at this sh*t and not tolerate it.
Up North, we were attending the only church we could find that didn't require a mask during the service. When we got here the first week of January 2021, we were hugged at the door of the closest church by volunteer greeters. Salad bars were open. Salad bars!
She's a busybody. We're in an epidemic of meddling by clueless quacks, SJWs, "fact checkers," and unhinged busybodies like Stacy.
“A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business.” -Eric Hoffer

Such insight! I'm reminded of those women in England during WWI who went around full of the aforesaid "righteous indignation", bestowing the white feather on men who were not in uniform, publicly shaming them without bothering to stop and talk with them about it first. These were mostly men who were deemed unfit for duty and who already felt terrible about not taking their place at the front. It was ugly.
"Madam, you're not the coronavirus monitor. You weren't afraid of getting COVID when you put your hands on their money or when you took this man's phone. Put your hand down!"
If he had, she would possibly have had him charged with assault. She had certain advantages in this situation, being a woman. If they had been reversed and he had been verbally attacking her at that stand, well...Sorry, but there it is. I am a woman, and I see how carefully men must tread.
When she physically snatched the phone out of his hand, she committed a robbery. My professional employment has afforded me to see this exact thing charged as such by DA’s in CA.
I'd hate to assemble a list of all the yummy things found, to date, in containers/cans/packages of foods/snacks/drinks produced under the magic of sanitary factory production lines.
I get through my own life by forgetting, as often as possible, about germ theory, and skin flakes, and tiny hairs, and everything else that can get into something I might eat.
Strange, I know, but I just really feel allergic to the thought of a miserable micro-managed life.
I have what I think is a healthy disregard for oversanitizing, reinforced since I read about a study that showed that washing hands compulsively can lead to disease. Not just chapped, dried out hands but actual staph, when our hands' community of flora and fauna is nuked on a continual basis.
It's all a spectrum, Howard Hughes at one end. Whatever works for you. I stepped up my hand washing after a public health nurse told me 20 years ago that if people washed their hands she would be out of a job. I don't worry much about the natural world.
A daily, nay, an hourly event in my life. I have a one-acre flower and vegetable garden, I work in a nursery and I'm also a park keeper. My life is about getting my hands dirty (I hate gloves). I dreamed last night that I was cleaning under my nails, and started scooping out handfuls of dirt. It was quite surreal.
I'm much happier with a little mud than what my hands feel like after a nice slice of pizza. Anyone wants to kill me, drop me into a giant vat of KFC and tell me to climb my way out.
To be fair, you only need to eat a little bit of dirt to collect some nasty parasites. I don't mind actual real outside dirt on my hands but am careful not to lick my fingers or pick my nose until I've been able to wash them clean.
Well, funny thing. I don't dislike mice or rats, but it's gotta be admitted that mice really stink. A horrible sweetish unmistakably mousy smell. I briefly had a domesticated rat and he was pretty much like a cat, really. Unfortunately the little bastard was a biter and I'd been tricked into briefly adopting him. Rickie the Raticle. I think he ended up as snake food.
The immune system is like muscles in that it needs regular stress and exercise in order to function optimally. That's what the hygiene hypothesis is all about.
I agree. Everyone should spend some time in the "developing world", they would have a chance to re-examine their hierarchy of needs. But hey, we may all be there soon!
The guy would be behind bars. Thankfully he kept his cool.
Now, as a woman...I would have had to walk away, shaking, before I knocked her to the ground. There are people out there who willfully promote violence. And she is one of them.
Me too. I would get in so much trouble dealing with such people. I think the moment she grabbed my phone she would have had a sprained or broken wrist or fingers. I am so happy I don't live near such people (so far).
The moment you lay a finger on them, it's assault. Is she worth losing everything and going to jail for? Run, don't walk, away. In my college days I had a housemate a little like this (for a very short period of time). She came from a crazy, violent family and did everything in her power to provoke me to violence. I would grab my purse and sprint for the door, before I ended up facing a murder charge for that little piece of work.
That's why it is always good to assess these stories and mindset how to deal with it if/when it happens to you. I think people like our Karen are very unhappy with their lives. She was controlling enough to pick on small children then frightened and unsure when the dad came out. Her behavior of taking his phone was a hope to extract herself from the evidence of her behavior, which she knew right away wouldn't work so she gave it back before cops were brought in. Two counts of theft and one count of assault, here.
I thought of that later, so 4 charges, and a person has a right to self defense. you might get arrested for defending yourself but seeing the video the charges would/should go the other way. The other misdemeanor I would say she committed was intimidating the children so they ran inside an reported "a crazy lady" stealing their money.
Oh good - so if he would provoke her verbally and she attacked him - he can defend himself... maybe you won't want to throw a haymaker and knock her out ... but flinging her to the ground and pinning her... then calling the cops?
Wouldn't they say a 'reasonable person' would not be threatened? And really the threat wasn't really all that ... real, was it? She looks as if she couldn't beat up anyone larger than a small child.
Ha! Lawyer! Maybe you are. You sure fit the stereotype. And now I know you like beating up women. Is that what you do to your wife/girlfriend, if you have one?
IKR? ? It's as if she thought the very existence of open containers and ice could infect the neighborhood! -You don't have to drink! It's an existential threat!
Aldous Huxley said best:

I "read" Crome Yellow when I was 19 for a university writing class that was supposed to be a paper about Huxley's works. I should probably reread it now, because I am pretty sure I did a Pfizer-esque job on my literary review, by skipping a bunch of steps and leaving out all of the good stuff.
I don't think that person is bad... it is just under the influence of the psy-op... I bet she is genuinely scared and germophobic.
We should be mad at the government (can't call it "ours") that commits such crimes against the citizens they are supposed to protect...
No. She is bad.
Scared shitless; her life is a nightmare.
Well done, I did not know of this quote of his.
What a prescient thinker, and devastatingly accurate psychologist, that man was.
He was an astute observer of humanity.
That was such an epic display of hypochondriacal OCD Covidianism, I think she earned Stacy a spot in the dictionary beside Karen.
P.S. That father has the patience of Job on psilocybin.
Lemonade poured from one plastic container to another = very dangerous
Grabbing the germ-cloaked smartphone of a stranger = not dangerous
If that woman has kids and they see this they will never ever trust her again..... and for the best. 😂
😹👍
and an epic display of OPD = Obnoxious Personality Disorder
I nominate that for inclusion in the DSM-VI.
Haha - yes! Except the next DSM will likely remove ACTUAL psychiatric issues that we’re normalizing. WHAT EVEN IS THIS WORLD.
OMG, I fear you’re right.
Spot on! You understand how the game is played. Well done!
I'd doing what I can to PREVENT a DSM-6.....
There is NO SUCH THING as a "DSM-V", the APA went Arabic numerals w-the DSM-5....psychiatry is a fraudulent pseudoscience drug racket....
I remember OPD from Designing Women.
I was thinking the same thing. Can we give poor Karens a break and switch to Stacys? With apologies to the late, great Stacy Keach, of course.
Oh, please no - I've felt sorry for people with the name Karen for the past few years! Think about how you would feel about Mark being added!
Good point, Stacy.
Alright, it's settled. Let's just go back to calling them "assholes."
Thanks! :)
😂
I agree...so unfair to all the Karen’s out there. Should be using a new word to describe these (both women and men) self appointed righteousness police. I can’t conceive of what they think gives them the right to be that way 🤯
Great idea! I think she's worthy of the honor.
I think we can all agree that Stacey is just doing her part to provide exceptional parenting to those poor children, not to mention simultaneously protecting society. Stacey is a strong, brave role model for us all.
Notice how she keeps saying "we" don't want you here, as though she's been unanimously elected representative of the entire community. I wish he'd challenged her on that.
She’s probably on the homeowners association board too.....
Oh that's a definite yes. And it's people like Stacy that make us avoid neighborhoods with HOA's like the plague.
!
that's the imperial we
Imperial, imperious, whichever....
And she's injected her kids - like a good mummy!
She’s actually still a child evidenced by her tantrum. Knocking over the cups of lemonade was an epic display of arrested development.
😿
No grandkids for her. And if her kids are as eye-poppingly neurotic and gobsmackingly fascistic as is she, then "we" don't want her kids to procreate, either. Win, win.
NOW, I am waiting for someone to ask "strong, brave" Stacey who is so concerned about society, what SHE does with her used masks when she is done with them. Does she put them out in the general trash, or does she use a designated biohazard container? That's what I would have asked her. Bet that would have shut her up!
Oh good grief...her head would have exploded, or she would have suffered from Sudden Unexplained Demise syndrome.
heh 'SUDS' just makes me think it's time to have a beer.
In related news, having a beer would likely solve several of Stacy's problems in one go...
Then show her a barrage of pics depicting birds, turtles, fish, and other sea life strangled by masks along with beach fronts looking like a dumpster pile of them.
🤣
New slogan, “Don’t be a grandma killer, be a Stacy.”
😆
Oh, please no - I've felt sorry for people with the name Karen for the past few years!
I couldn't watch the whole thing. When she got to "there's elderly people around here," I had to turn it off.

And bless her heart, she apparently thinks "elderly people" don't have the mental capacity to think for themselves and decide if they want a glass of lemonade ... sigh.
She uses "elderly people" as buzz words for her "argument". Nothing more. Her concern goes no deeper. Let us never forget the NY nursing homes.
Or Michigan's nursing homes. I'm elderly and she does NOT speak for me or many of my peers. At least Howard Hughes had the decency to hide himself away and not force the rest of us to cater to his germophobia. BTW, the opening of the movie "Aviator" is quite interesting.

Mom wanted to force everyone at the Farmer's Market to get vaxxed, back before her darling was eligible. The child is doomed, on so many levels.
Guarantee the elderly people were the ones who paid the other $4.
She tips over their stand at the end... what an insane person
Not just insane, cruel and cowardly. I mean, picking on a little kids lemonade stand and taking their money!!!
I’m sure the little kids running their small business are far more mature and mentally sound.
Vinay Prasad has been documenting some of the crazier stuff, and he's obviously much more "mainstream" than most of the Substackers I read. Some of it is really disturbing. Jha, for example, is an open propagandist for PFE who has completely lost touch with reality. I guess this woman really is real. Wow, though.
Well, but see, that's her losing her case right there.
It’s real. Floridians don’t fully appreciate how crazy much of the country has become. Please help Ron get re-elected.
If he doesn't win by a landslide...I don't know what to say except "Voter fraud!". He is so great, and looks pretty presidential to me. I'm in California, and everyone in the country knows what sort of grinning pestilence we have for a governor. I'm happy for you. And green with envy.
For the love of GOD, MOVE!!

at least go to northern California where the mostly sane people reside. good luck.
Umm, actually that's where I am, and have been for 29 years. Mendocino County, at the heart of the Emerald Triangle. Where everything that's wrong right now "is Trump's fault".

Old lives, particularly when they are riddled with disease from bad lifestyle choices when they were young, matter!
But it's not as if old people living somewhere in the neighborhood are even going to the lemonade stand. It can't exist, because it *might* not be the best choice for some people? Does this woman picket fast food joints? Trash the displays of candy bars at grocery stores? Light cigarette ads on fire? Go Carrie A. Nation on bars? (I get that you're being facetious, but even if these old people would be at a markedly elevated risk of death from drinking one of these cups of lemonade, her reaction is insane.)
And does she throw her used facemask in the nearest public trash bin or take it home and put it in a designated Biohazard container?
Oh I think this was real. You could hear it.
Where did this take place, I wonder?
Go Florida!! You are an inspiration to us all.
I give DeSantis credit for not being evil, but the real victory here is in the people. They would just laugh out loud at this sh*t and not tolerate it.
Next headline, "Florida man drinks lemonade from open container ... and lives!"
Up North, we were attending the only church we could find that didn't require a mask during the service. When we got here the first week of January 2021, we were hugged at the door of the closest church by volunteer greeters. Salad bars were open. Salad bars!
We changed to a church that actually started meeting live again once gov Whitless 'allowed' it. Many churches just stayed closed for a long time.
Glad you found a welcoming, less neurotic church!
This whole thing has really exposed some ugly truths about people, hasn't it?
Totally agreed. Our previous church went from "you go to hell if you miss a Sunday" to "sorry, no Easter." It was incredible.
I’m wondering where this happened too. Looks like Arizona or nevada
Or California.
Me too.
I couldn’t either.
Yeah, that level of toxicity is really hard to witness. I hope the children did not have too much exposure to this monstrous woman.
She defines “mental illness”. 😬
Wearing a mask outside tells me all I need to know.
"Covid Stacey" needs to become a meme.
She's a busybody. We're in an epidemic of meddling by clueless quacks, SJWs, "fact checkers," and unhinged busybodies like Stacy.

Great quote. Also love the C.S. Lewis quote about "...those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end..."
Somebody else posted this quote by Aldous Huxley:

I'd love to see her in front of Judge Judy.
"Madam, you're not the coronavirus monitor. You weren't afraid of getting COVID when you put your hands on their money or when you took this man's phone. Put your hand down!"
They're having their day, for sure.
I don't understand why he didn't turn the hose on her?
If he had, she would possibly have had him charged with assault. She had certain advantages in this situation, being a woman. If they had been reversed and he had been verbally attacking her at that stand, well...Sorry, but there it is. I am a woman, and I see how carefully men must tread.
When she physically snatched the phone out of his hand, she committed a robbery. My professional employment has afforded me to see this exact thing charged as such by DA’s in CA.
But you can steal up to 900 dollars of merchandise and not be charged? What 😳!
Equity..or something.
One would think...
COVID Karens: proving the "psychosis" in "mass formation psychosis" is not in fact a tautology since 2020.
"Covid Stacy, putting the psycho in psychosis since March 2020!"
I'd hate to assemble a list of all the yummy things found, to date, in containers/cans/packages of foods/snacks/drinks produced under the magic of sanitary factory production lines.
I get through my own life by forgetting, as often as possible, about germ theory, and skin flakes, and tiny hairs, and everything else that can get into something I might eat.

God made dirt & dirt don't hurt. Ivermectin came from a bacteria in dirt......
Good one Momcat!
Just wash with plain soap and not antibacterial anything.
I have never liked antibacterial anything, unless it is a natural substance like thyme or cinnamon oil.
I'm a little bit of an over-handwasher, and always have been.
It's all a spectrum, Howard Hughes at one end. Whatever works for you. I stepped up my hand washing after a public health nurse told me 20 years ago that if people washed their hands she would be out of a job. I don't worry much about the natural world.
There's nothing like getting your hands dirty in the garden!
A daily, nay, an hourly event in my life. I have a one-acre flower and vegetable garden, I work in a nursery and I'm also a park keeper. My life is about getting my hands dirty (I hate gloves).

You have to eat a peck of dirt before you die.
To be fair, you only need to eat a little bit of dirt to collect some nasty parasites. I don't mind actual real outside dirt on my hands but am careful not to lick my fingers or pick my nose until I've been able to wash them clean.
Me too, to an extent - but there's a big difference between what I might catch from a country mouse and those filthy city rats.
Well, funny thing. I don't dislike mice or rats, but it's gotta be admitted that mice really stink. A horrible sweetish unmistakably mousy smell. I briefly had a domesticated rat and he was pretty much like a cat, really. Unfortunately the little bastard was a biter and I'd been tricked into briefly adopting him. Rickie the Raticle. I think he ended up as snake food.
Oh man do they ever stink when they die in the ductwork. Blech.
Blurrgghhhhh.
The immune system is like muscles in that it needs regular stress and exercise in order to function optimally. That's what the hygiene hypothesis is all about.
You have found Super Karen! Unbelievable!
Imagine if she were a teacher. Maybe she is.
Well, this could be her, masked, having a bad day?
Daycare worker, fired for scaring children with Halloween mask, says teachers made her do it — apology viral

I saw this. Just appalling. If I were a parent in this situation I would seriously consider a lawsuit. And I'm not even remotely litigious.
She is Mentally Ill.
Quick - someone bring her to the Booster Clinic -- she needs more mRNA!
Too many people don't have enough real obstacles in their lives.
I agree. Everyone should spend some time in the "developing world", they would have a chance to re-examine their hierarchy of needs. But hey, we may all be there soon!
she will never learn until she gets the shit kicked out of her, several times.
A good bitch slap for grabbing a phone. That would've been me.
The guy would be behind bars. Thankfully he kept his cool.
Now, as a woman...I would have had to walk away, shaking, before I knocked her to the ground. There are people out there who willfully promote violence. And she is one of them.
Me too. I would get in so much trouble dealing with such people. I think the moment she grabbed my phone she would have had a sprained or broken wrist or fingers. I am so happy I don't live near such people (so far).

In my college days I had a housemate a little like this (for a very short period of time). She came from a crazy, violent family and did everything in her power to provoke me to violence. I would grab my purse and sprint for the door, before I ended up facing a murder charge for that little piece of work.

A whole lot depends on where this took place. As we see in the news, every day. She wouldn't have tried this shit in Florida.
I thought of that later, so 4 charges, and a person has a right to self defense. you might get arrested for defending yourself but seeing the video the charges would/should go the other way. The other misdemeanor I would say she committed was intimidating the children so they ran inside an reported "a crazy lady" stealing their money.
The stealing of their money is beyond bizarre. What did she hope to achieve by that?
Yeah, I kept waiting for him to do that.
I would have started coughing without covering my mouth - in her direction 😂
Beat her up, and you'll go to prison, as you damn well should. If she stole the kids' money, then call the cops and let them handle it.
Fine. Have it that way. I'll just sit back and watch my wife beat the hell out of her.
It's America - surely she is trespassing and a threat -- would it be legal to shoot her?
She's also rabid... she might bite
*for the benefit of our foreign friends, shooting this woman would be extremely illegal -- even in America.
Thanks! Some people think that in America you can shoot legally anyone that is inside your house. They think you can do something like:
- Hey John, come over to have dinner with us.
- Ok, thanks
- Hey John, you are in my house. I am going to shoot and kill you and it is legal.
- Oh, damn it! You are right. Perfect crime!
Ya but if someone takes your $$$ and kicks over your lemonade stand - surely you can shoot them? If not why not!!!!
Ideally those clips would end with her lying in a pool of blood with her brains blown out.
Even if it was in Texas?
And then you would have to get the rabies vaccine.....

What will the coppers do? In Progressive controlled areas of California, petty theft has been de facto legalized (by prosecutorial fiat).
Otoh, I'm sure the coppers would be delighted to beat up and arrest a decent upstanding father for defending his children against a deranged Covidiot.
in two weeks the fbi shows, with a swat augmented with the new irs agents, bc she claims he prevent her from getting to an abortion provider.....
Comment of the day.
Is it ok to spit on her?
How about a coughing fit?
no, spitting is demeaning.
(and it does not hurt enough...)
Actually spitting can indeed get you charged. But you knew that.
you might want to research the terms "assault", self defense and citizens arrest.

Oh Irena STFU ALREADY.
He was advocating violence. And you agree with him?
thank you,
this thread was mildly educational and slightly amusing,
you succeeded in making me laugh out loud!!!
Ever hear the one about Jesus and the money-changers?
The Stacey video reminds me of this bit of advice:
"Stop trying to flip tables Jesus would have sat at."
There's a corollary (but it doesn't apply in this case): "Avoid sitting at tables that Jesus would have flipped."
What you wanna do is provoke her so that she attacks you ... then you slam her to the ground -- tell her to get the f789 off your property or else.
This is the only way to deal with a rabid human. They are dangerous
Yup. Now STFU
Thank you for giving me useful information about yourself. As did jan van ruth.
I have seen no assault, only theft. You're the one advocating assault. I'm not surprised. You sound like that sort of person.
maybe it is because i am a lawyer that i can see the assault where you cannot see it?
Oh good - so if he would provoke her verbally and she attacked him - he can defend himself... maybe you won't want to throw a haymaker and knock her out ... but flinging her to the ground and pinning her... then calling the cops?
the grabbing of the phone actually already is the attack.
at 68 years old i do no longer have the stamina to wrestle her down, so i kick and go for the knee joint.
one real hit and she will go down.
Wouldn't they say a 'reasonable person' would not be threatened? And really the threat wasn't really all that ... real, was it? She looks as if she couldn't beat up anyone larger than a small child.
Ha! Lawyer! Maybe you are. You sure fit the stereotype. And now I know you like beating up women. Is that what you do to your wife/girlfriend, if you have one?
i don't particularly like beating up women, or any other person.
however i will take action when somebody hurts my children.
you hurt my children? you live with the consequences!
you grab the phone out of my hands? you live with the consequences!
you do you, i do me.
😂🤣😂🤣
And destruction of property. Possibly intimidation
Call the cops.
Yep
It would be assault, if the cops and prosecutors were actually to uphold the rule of law.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😂🤣😂
No, that would only make her more of a victim.
Mmm, that would probably reinforce her sense of self-righteous martyrdom. I'd rather see her children reject her (dear God I pray she hasn't any).
🤔............👍
Good grief. The kids aren’t forcing anyone to buy or drink. GTFO
IKR? ? It's as if she thought the very existence of open containers and ice could infect the neighborhood! -You don't have to drink! It's an existential threat!
ive never hit a woman in my life but just watching that i had the strongest urge to knock her teeth out
Grab your crosses, holy water and garlic bread, everybody
