That is when I would give my kid a coke, a pack of skittles and a drum and tell them to go sit by that window and play that nice lady a song.

==================
A woman dubbed the “Central Park Karen” online after calling the police on a Black birdwatcher, says she is still “in hiding” more than three years after the incident.
Amy Cooper said that she had received an “avalanche of hate and death threats” following the incident in May 2020, and even now was “scared to be in public” and struggles to find employment.
A video of the incident showed Ms Cooper on the phone to police, telling them she was being “threatened” by an “African American man” while she was out walking her dog in New York’s Central Park.
The footage quickly went viral after it was posted by the man, Christian Cooper – no relation – and Ms Cooper was given the online nickname “Central Park Karen”……..
In an op-ed written for Newsweek, Ms Cooper recalled the incident and said after the video had been posted online that “my life, as I knew it, was over”.
“My employer fired me the day after the incident without ever taking the time to learn the facts. Clearly in survival mode, my company released a strong statement distancing itself from me, effectively blacklisting my career,” she wrote.
“In a frantic and desperate attempt to stop the avalanche of hate and death threats, I issued a public apology at the recommendation of a PR company. But it did nothing. I was forced into hiding……
Ms Cooper said that there were “never any racial implications to my words” and that she had “only reported exactly what happened to me that day” to the police. She also said that she had been contacted by other people in Central Park who had also been “threatened” by Mr Cooper.…….

It did land him a gig on NatGeo about birds. It's on Disney+.Is she saying that her appearance in public puts her in danger?
It's a shame that the guy on whom she called the police will never know what that's like
one would like to think she learned her lesson, but she seems to be type to double down..Is she saying that her appearance in public puts her in danger?
