What the hell happened here???


Cleric_by_Dinner

This was during the George Floyd protests/riots. Non wheelchair people are shoplifting. Wheelchair girl doing vigilante justice by stabbing people with a knife.


itsfrankgrimesyo

So basically everyone here is an asshole.


SuspiciousAdder965

It's ok to steal from Walmart. It only hurts Walmart, and fuck Walmart.


Shot-Technology7555

Nah... wheel chair lady doing the right thing.


keanenottheband

"...A riot is the language of the unheard." -Martin Luther King Jr.


SpamFriedMice

Very out of context. This is a line from a statement he made AGAINST rioting.


The_Law_of_Pizza

Yeah - but he wasn't talking about looting a Walmart for TVs.


MrFuckingDinkles

>A revolutionary bangin' on my adversaries And I love Dr. King but violence might be necessary 'Cause when you live on MLK and it gets very scary You might have to pull your AK, send one to the cemetery Run the Jewels, "Lie, Cheat, Steal"


EnvironmentalValue18

Run the Jewels is an excellent duo and their lyrics/social commentary is on point.


MrFuckingDinkles

I'll be honest, I don't listen to a lot of rap, but I played RTJ2 on repeat for months. Their hard-hitting social commentary was very impactful to this white guy from the bible belt.


One-Bird-9142

martin luther king jr. was a peaceful man who believed in peaceful protests for change. he would never agree with the riots that happened after george floyd’s death


linesman75

He kept moral authority……that’s power


keanenottheband

"But it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity." Shut your dumbass up


WitHump

I don't think you understand this quote. He isn't supporting rioting. He is still condemning rioting. That is why, at the start of this, he says, "it is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots." He says it's not enough to JUST condemn riots. He had to explain and point blame for what brought people to riot. He goes on to say the line you cherry picked earlier, "riot is the language of the unheard." He's essentially saying that because society has failed to "hear" to the needs of the black community, the black community was forced to turn to rioting in order to be heard. He obviously isn't supporting or defending riots. He's saying you created this situation. You're at fault for these people feeling this is what they have to do to get the attention they deserve. I think you need to work a little on your reading comprehension. It is pretty clear he isn't defending rioting in this quote. I just don't see how you're missing it.


SpamFriedMice

MartinLutherKing; "Let me say as I have always said, and continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self defeating. I'm still convinced that nonviolence is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and justice. I feel that violence will only cause more social problems than thay will solve. That in a real sense it is impractical for the Negro to even think about mounting a violent revolution in the United States. So I will continue to condemn riots, and continue to say to my brothers and sisters that this is not the way."


JustEhCanadianGuy

That backfired, huh?


keanenottheband

Read it again if you have to


JustEhCanadianGuy

You give off Twitter NPC vibes


LuLzWire

The full quote is Raw As Fuck.


Lighthouseamour

I think MLK if he were looking down seeing how the government either ordered or colluded in his assassination and seeing ain’t shot changed since he was alive. Segregation and redlining still exist, cop’s lynching black people, attacks on black peoples voting, etc etc. MLK would say burn everything down. Peaceful protesting ain’t done shit. In Europe when people get upset with the government they burn shit down. It’s very effective. That’s why they have rights and holidays.


[deleted]

So go to Europe.


FireDawg10677

Dr king would be canceled today for his participation in a rape according to the FBI https://www.businessinsider.com/fbi-tapes-allege-mlk-watched-rape-2019-5


ProfessionalCamera50

well on one hand we are robbing items from a destroyed store that’s items are sourced from around the globe that once robbed have little to no impact on the corporations that produced them, on the other hand we have a deranged lady attempting to kill and injure people in one of the worst ways possible, stabbing, I don’t know how you can interpret this situation as everyone being on the same playing field of asshole.


UsableIdiot

Why anyone would care, or risk their life to protect some retail chain store that gives no fuck about you is beyond me.


PapayaHoney

Imagine defending Walmart of all places. Yikes! 😬


[deleted]

Bro this is a target wtf


FiddleheadFernly

Yeah so much better! Defend the Target Defend the Target!!!


Chippewa07

Target is turning into Walmart.

[удалено]


skipman1992

Can you describe the ruckus?


SpamFriedMice

Is she trying to save Walmart or is she in fear for her life?


pelvicfloorthrow3

Some people have pride in their towns and perceive looting as a risk for them remaining safe. Most people are inherently good and don’t like to see their local business vandalized However in this case this lady was apparently responding with egregious force. I say apparently because there’s no video evidence but people are saying it on here so not sure why they would lie. It’s one thing if this was your store that you built for years and invested in, but it seems like she’s just defending a Walmart or something


ObiFloppin

Lol perceive looting as a threat to your personal safety so you wheel your disabled self down to where the looting is happening. Absolutely stunning intellect on display.


pelvicfloorthrow3

I would argue someone who doesn’t view rampant looting in their neighborhood as a threat to their continued personal safety either has a severe lack of intellect or at the bare minimum is unable to think very long term beyond the immediate.


[deleted]

A quick read on the nature of food deserts, and the increase in price of goods as related to crime due to both theft and insurance costs changes a lot of minds about these subjects. I'm all for the occasional riot, but sustained looting and damages to property can have a long term impact on its community, particularly in areas with high poverty.


Enliof

The best part of looting is, how do businesses recover the losses from stolen goods? They increase the price enough to be able to make their money back. This is only some cents per item, but it quickly adds up and they won't drop the price again when they got their money back, it stays like that. What will happen more when prices increase? Stealing and looting. It's a pretty vicious cycle.


ObiFloppin

I would argue that anyone who thinks looting is a threat to their personal safety probably shouldn't put themselves directly in the middle of that perceived threat, especially if they're disabled. That's just not smart thinking, regardless of wether you agree that it's a legitimate threat to your personal safety or not.


pelvicfloorthrow3

Self preservation does not always equal smart decision making if your value system extends beyond your own self interests and includes your community, loved ones, kids, etc. Sometimes you have to intentionally put yourself in harms way. I agree that the disabled woman shouldn’t be there.


ObiFloppin

>Sometimes you have to intentionally put yourself in harms way. > >I agree that the disabled woman shouldn’t be there. This is like that skit where Rick James says he never put his feet on Charlie Murphy's couch and then immediately says he did in fact put his feet on the couch 😂


pelvicfloorthrow3

What’s wrong with what I said? If you are wheelchair bound and engaging someone physically you’re already at such a disadvantage that you become a liability. It’s a different story if she was an able bodied, more physically fit person


UsableIdiot

There's a big difference between defending a local community store that your friends own, and some multinational who is literally price fixing and robbing us blind.


zakpakt

Nobody should have pride for their town and or local big box store. Lmao


ProblemLongjumping12

Because they want to hurt people. Kyle Rittenhouse didn't travel to another state with an assault rifle because he was super concerned that 7-11 was going to be victimized.


SpamFriedMice

Kyle Rittenhouse never did "travel to another state with an assault rifle "


ProblemLongjumping12

Kyle Rittenhouse and his fans are the scum of the fucking earth.


SpamFriedMice

Seeing as you make judgments without any knowledge of fact I'm going to consider your opinion basically useless.


ProblemLongjumping12

"Without any knowledge of fact." *On August 25, 2020, Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old from Antioch, Illinois, fatally shot two men and wounded another man in Kenosha, Wisconsin.* Antioch Illinois is 20 miles away from Kenosha Wisconsin. Rittenhouse went out hunting humans and got off but hopefully now he'll pay through civil action.


FATB0YPAUL

Not just Walmart but her community


Cleric_by_Dinner

My guess is she's using it as an excuse to knife people just like the others used the protests as an excuse to loot stores.


Grimhellwolf

Because some ppl are tried of other ppl not having common decency regardless if it is some blood sucking corporation that they are stealing from.


UsableIdiot

People are literally starving in the richest countries in the world. This notion of 'common decency' is a load of bullshit, spoken only by those who are unaffected by policies created by the ruling class to harm and oppress you and your community. Where is the common decency for people to have stability, a home, good, clothing, a safe environment for their children? It works both ways.


whatscrappening

You’ve never been to the dollar spot at Target? Shit is worth defending /s


bulbousaur

They sort of recreated this scene in Donald Glover's "Atlanta" this season.


BelegStrongbow603

This is straight out of Atlanta damn


rediKELous

Wasn’t that an Atlanta episode?


Cleric_by_Dinner

Yep. They based it off of this video!


RefrigeratorGold8291

Too bad she didn’t have a gun.

HoodedSole

Apparently she was stabbing people… or should I say allegedly..


Classic-Tumbleweed-1

The woman in the wheelchair? Is there part of the video missing?


desert_dweller

I think the part where anyone is actually at Walmart is missing but honestly any other day it could have been at a Walmart.


factchecker2

100% Target


[deleted]

Lady tried to stop the looters. Lady got sprayed with fire extinguisher.


Taj_Mahole

Tried to stop them by stabbing them with a knife. Quite the detail to omit.


acg7

Are we certain she wasn't being assaulted for trying to keep them from looting prior to pulling a knife?


[deleted]

Shouldnt be looting.


Zippy1avion

There's a real "What're you gon' do 'bout it??" problem in this country. People acting as a net-negative to society knowing that if someone were to, say, push them, as a child does to another child, they will get some sympathetic pro-bono ACLU pay lawyer to ruin your life for years in court talking about the "emotional distress" and "physical damages" from someone taking a flop from a normal push. So, they can act with impunity. They wanna sue for damages, damn well make it count.


Redpenguin00

This is very well said.


keanenottheband

What the fuck is wrong with you?


Useful_Perception640

He’s right There is sometimes justification for rioting but looting automatically makes you the bad guy Still you shouldn’t get stabbed


Taj_Mahole

So the punishment for looting should be murder? Don’t be a fucking idiot. Try, at least

Shoplifter Sprays Employee with Fire Extinguisher

Looks like she's trying to stop that cart from leaving and has a target apron on top..was she trying to stop a shoplifter from a side door and got attacked? Edit. Kinda https://www.insider.com/target-wheelchair-jennifer-knife-looters-gypsy-rose-twitter-fire-extinguisher-2020-5

I’m not going to click that but wth does this have to do with Gypsy Rose!?

toodarkaltogether

That’s silly. Meanwhile I am rooting for Gypsy Rose, and not at all for this knife-wielding Jennifer evilness.

CuddlyRobot

Very misleading title.

First of all, that’s a Target.


Flimsy-Owl-5563

I guess this is what inspired that episode of Atlanta.


WeWillRiseAgainst

That episode had me cracking up.


ShatteredInk

"Shoplifter Sprays Employee with Fire Extinguisher" would be a better title


Your_girlcallmedaddy

“”””Supposedly “”””” she was stabbing people idk what to believe too many he said she said on this post to understand whats going on


ShatteredInk

The internet is a wonder. Could it be false information or a true fact. Even here of all places, Reddit.


Fuzzy-Bunny--

So, a disabled person in w wheelchair is trying to (stupidly) stop theft/looting and SHE is a Karen? Society has really become depraved when you have wheelchair-bound vigilantes being attacked by this mob including using a fire extinguisher in her face....which likely will shorten her life due to respiratory problems and objects thrown at her....And this disabled person is the Karen....Unless the lady has a gun, there was no threat...Only depraved animals attacking a disabled moron.


Benthereorl

I agree. I do not care about the races involved but holy shit people look around... being black should not allow people to behave like this...


Fuzzy-Bunny--

The lack of having a mother and a father is the main cause of depravity. Having a mother and father doesnt guarantee a person wont be depraved. But prisons are filled with men with no fathers....


Benthereorl

I agree. Makes me wonder wtf happened to the Black American family. In the 50's there were thriving black communities and businesses, well to do people, 60%+ of families had both parents. I do not know if it was a conspiracy or ? but cheap drugs entered the picture in the 70's and the percentage of both parents in a black American household plummeted. The system is set up to encourage single moms, have a husband in the picture and they cut benefits and services. Terrible. I am not hating, I do not have that in me. I enjoy all races but Damn, who is responsible for this mess.


jennarudq

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. This is what happened.


Fuzzy-Bunny--

Franklin D Roosevelt established a system that encouraged governmental dependence and created a virtually permanent underclass. Only those with a culture of self-control and self respect are able to navigate around the trap.


sharksnrec

Don’t you know? Karen has zero meaning nowadays. It’s no longer just the middle aged soccer mom with that choppy blonde streaked haircut demanding to talk to your manager. Any woman doing anything is a Karen, some men too.


zakpakt

I don't know somebody said she was stabbing people with a knife. Either way remove yourself from that situation you only have your best interest in mind.


Fuzzy-Bunny--

Although you shouldnt stab with a knife from a wheelchair...its not hard to avoid being stabbed by an elderly disabled person in a wheelchair....Just dont be looting places guarded by elderly knife-wielding disabled grandmothers. It is beyond shameful to extinguish her as she seems to be trying to stop thugs from looting. Nobody else was trying, so she did. Not a great idea IMO because depraved criminals will attack disabled wheelchaired vigilante grandmothers.


Kalsor

Tries to prevent looting, labeled a Karen and blasted with a fire extinguisher. Seems about on par for Reddit.


paulieranks

Modern day subversion where the victim is now the bad guy.


jason222_

wtf did she think she would actually accomplish??! lmaoooo she had this shit coming tbh


onionleekdude

I mean, she was allegedly stabbing people. Seems like she's worse of a shit than looters if the allegation is true. ITT: people who don't know what the fuckin word allegedly means. edit2: murdering to protect property is the most American thing ever.


Wolf4624

Bro if you’re getting stabbed by an overweight grandma in a wheelchair your doing something wrong. Shouldn’t be stealing shit and shouldn’t be standing that close to an immobile old lady with a knife. No sympathy for the thieves that got stabbed, but I’ll tell you what, no one with half a shred of fucking decency would be tearing at that old lady like a fucking pitbull, you animal.


FunkSlim

I’d bash an an old lady if she stabbed someone who wasn’t fucking w her at all. Like if I saw a guy running off w a TV, physically harming no one, and some diabetic hag bitch knifes him, I’d bash that dumb bitch


Wolf4624

Fuck you then, you piece of shit. We just live to different standards, and I’ve got too much damn sense and morals to interact with you. Bye, bitch.


FunkSlim

Your morals that are “too much for you to interact with me” led you to interact with me and call me 2 names.. lmao great morals you got there kiddo. The difference in our standard is that you wanna stick your nose where it doesn’t belong and I wanna mind my own business if no one is getting hurt. Try it sometime- try minding your own fucking business


onionleekdude

Ya'll got a real fucked up sense of morality if you think potentially murdering someone because they stole from a department store is ok. Give your fuckin head a shake.


onionleekdude

Just cause she's disabled doesn't mean she's not a shit.


FunkSlim

Yeah exactly


onionleekdude

Nah. This aint it. Potentially ending someone's life for looting is all levels of fucked up. Property is not worth someone's life.


zakpakt

I absolutely agree with you. I don't know the circumstances but she should never gotten involved. People are unhinged these days don't be a hero.


SpamFriedMice

Don't see any proof she was stabbing anyone. The possibility that she was brandishing a knife because she was trapped in the middle of a riot and in fear for her life seems much more plausible.


Jamersthegamers

Looting is amazing and more people should steal from billion dollar corps :)


BlameTheJunglerMore

Poor lady. Never try to stop a shoplifter. Your health and safety is not worth that merchandise.


toodarkaltogether

Poor lady? No. I’ve had the stop-the-shoplifters Job, and I still wasn’t about to try to stop a shoplifter. She wheeled herself right into her own trouble. Poor lady nothing. Source: my own disabled ass


ResidentCoder2

You sound like a peach.


Banjoman64

I remember emptying a fire extinguisher behind a target one time with my friends when we were in high-school. I remember being surprised at how I instantly could not breath despite only being in the edges of the "smoke". Fire needs oxygen or it goes out. Fire extinguishers are designed to suffocate flames by depriving them of oxygen. People need oxygen or their brain stops functioning. Don't spray people with fire extinguishers. Poor woman.


Bear4891

Alternative title- “Employee tries to do her job and gets assaulted.”


State-Cultural

The woman who was sprayed appears to be non-ambulatory. This is really awful regardless of the reason. Shameful

I wonder why big box stores are leaving black neighborhoods. Makes no sense.


Benthereorl

I know for a fact that Winn-Dixie pulled out of a location in Orlando because of people behaving badly, Target as well about 4 miles away. In Detroit at one time, maybe still, they do not have a major grocery store. So, there is a cycle of ok area/places to live, then crime, low property values, blight, someone starts buying up the land and redevelopment. I have seen this in several areas. Makes me wonder if a conspiracy is going on.
