New NYC “Karen” incident

Post Reply New Topic

I agree with this (the lack of any supporting evidence for claims of it being a "racist" event has been the point I have mentioned several times)...It is possible that there was racism involved, but as yet, and specifically at the time the claims were made, no evidence has been produced to support this assertion.

The point I am trying to make (however imperfectly) is that both targetting a person because of their race (which is what is being insinuated as the cause of this altercation) and making claims about a persons actions simply due to their race (or that of another person involved) with no evidence to support the claims are examples of racism: In both, the racist is demonstrating a prejudice (either for or against) one person because of their race, over others of a different race. It doesn't matter if the person shares a similar race to those who they accuse of racism, the act of ascribing an intent, with no supporting evidence at the time of the claim, simply because of the race of a person (or persons) involved, is a racist act. In both cases, the racist is demonstrating their belief that race accounts for differences in human character, and as such that a person's actions are a result of their race (or that of others) rather than any conscious choice\decision on that person's part.

When you are trying defend "deplorables" you take whatever you can get.

No it means being forced to entertain naysayers who want to defend deplorable acts e.g. Karens aren't racist

Were you a solicitor/lawyer in a previous life?

Mate, I think you need a man-hug.

The woman who was seen on video falsely accusing acclaimed jazz musician Keyon Herrold's son of stealing her phone in a New York City hotel last month has been arrested outside of Los Angeles, police said.

Miya Ponsetto was put into custody Thursday evening by Ventura County Sheriff deputies. It was not immediately clear what charges the 22-year-old would be facing. The arrest was made by the Ventura County Sheriffs' office in coordination with NYPD detectives, who arrived Thursday morning to assist.

A spokesperson for Ventura County Sheriff says deputies contacted Ponsetto at a traffic stop, but she did not stop until she reached her home. They also said she was uncooperative, resisted arrest, refused to get out the car and tried to slam the car door on one of the deputies as they forcibly removed her from the vehicle.

She was being held without bail for the fugitive assault warrant in New York. It was not clear when Ponsetto would be extradited to New York and charged here for last month's altercation, a senior NYPD official said.

In a new interview Thursday with NBC LA, Ponsetto's attorney, Sharen Ghatan, confirmed that Ponsetto wasn't a guest at the Arlo Hotel on Dec. 26, 2020. She had stayed there after arriving in NYC last month to visit her father, checked out, and was hanging out in the lobby with the intention of checking in again. Ponsetto had all of her items out in the lobby and she briefly left to retrieve something from Starbucks she left in the restroom.

When she returned, Ponsetto thought her phone was missing. Ghatan said Ponsetto had asked several people who were in whether they had taken her phone before she told management that her phone is missing.

"She actually asks several other people including an Asian gentleman who was leaving the hotel 'did you see my phone?' And he says no," Ghatan said Thursday. The next people she asked were the Harrolds, who had just come out of the elevator. That's when she went to hotel management to report that her phone was missing and the confrontation escalated.

Well no one is forcing us to engage with them and we can just let them talk and they get crickets. They will get so bored talking to themselves.

She has, at the very least, anger issues.

Her lawyers are currently using that very defence to deflect the race stuff. My guess is she will cry a lot and bat her eyelids and be let off by a court with a warning unless the victims of her rage take it further, especially given the son is experiencing the symptoms of PTSD.

It's because of the assault she has been arrested yesterday,

The Harold's lawyers are making the case she racially profiled them in singling them out.

In keeping with the policy to out racists who are trying to hide their identity here's the little daring



Her name is Miya Ponsetto. She got caught being a racist.
