My wife is Polish, but I'm not leaping to the defence of the Poles in this instance because it just sounds like everyone in this fight acted like a tt and got what they deserved (kicked out). I don't like pubs at the best of times and my witnessing this type of behaviour when I was younger (and a pub-goer) is one of the reasons.....
My thoughts too. Grotty pub, Grotty customers. Can't handle their booze.

Choice of video footage is always amusing too. Maybe everyone needs to walk around with a camera on all the time these days smile

Just curious about responses like this sometimes.

The woman has lost her job, and her dog too it seems, and now some are joyful that she might be jailed as well. Because clearly she needs to have her life completely destroyed for one "thought crime" smile
If she'd just thought it she'd probably have got away with it, don't you think?

I'm surprised at anyone trying to defend what she did. It's indefensible as far as I can see.
I'm not defending what she did. Just querying the relish with which some seem to want her life destroyed.

What is an adequate punishment in their eyes?

Losing her job and struggling to get another professional job due to notoriety?
Losing her dog, which was the reason for the dispute?
Driven to suicide?
and if the innocent guy hadn't been recording? Could easily have been his life fked up - which she tried to do by her actions.

So yeah, no sympathy here whatsoever.

and where the fk is the "thought crime"? Please spell that one out to me.

Feel sorry for her in the fact she lost her job based on the video.
Watch the video, then come back and say the same. If you can legitimately say the same after watching it then I think you need to seek help on your prejudice issues.

Wonder what the reason for the sacking was
Probably being an untrustworthy Karen.

I wonder what will be said if she commits suicide after this

I can see your point. She should be tried for the crime she commited (which I have no sympathy for), and given the appropriate sentence as set down in law. If that's prison time, then so be it.
The other stuff does smack of mob rule. I'd not say I feel sorry for her, but it makes me uncomfortable whenever this happens.

  • She was charged because what she did was illegal.

  • Her company sacked her coz it's obvious she can't be trusted (and potentially bringing neg publicity on the company)

  • The dog people took the dog back coz she was very clearly treating the thing harshly, needlessly, while lying through her teeth on the phone to the police.

Mob rule? Nope. Not seeing it.

Meeting her in a pub at night and going back to hers would be interesting
Just make sure you film it!

Indeed, all good fun till she decides in the morning she regrets getting drunk and sleeping with you and the police arrive and arrest you for rape!

Well particularly as Karen already had a bad rep for being hysterical about Coronavirus. Hence all the comments about "angry Karen on facebook".

I don't feel sorry for her at all. Imagine if this wasn't filmed and the police turned up and took her side, that guy would have been apprehended and possibly arrested, or worse.

Hmm we cant really say anything regarding her trustworthiness as an employee, this may be the very first time shes acted this way in public. I am not excusing her in any way it was a stty thing to do, she deserves what the law decides.

The mob rule part is this current fashion of kicking them while theyre down, punishment enough if she does time (and she should) but the decision to get her out of her job now thats shes got this kind of notoriety isnt proper I feel.
I think shes going to have plenty of "why the hell did i do it?" moments as it is.
It brings us back to the entirely indeterminate length of sentence after being proclaimed guilty in the courts of social media, does she get a lifetime ban on getting a job and has to be supported by the state?
Thats where it goes eventually .
Im not happy with that kind of action, after all even criminals who have paid their dues to society are supposed to get another chance, that cant happen if society is guided by the likes of twitter and pals who are unfortunately a baying mob at times.

Zero sympathy from me as well, she lied to police and tried to get someone into a lot of trouble.

Sorry, but I'm honestly not getting the references to the mob thing.

There appears to be three entities who have acted against her, and all for logical reasons -

1) The police
2) Her employer
3) The dog organisation

Where's the mob rule or influence?

Welcome to social media and mob justice. It's a problem for sure, but IMO this is not the hill I'd fight my battle on.
If you fancy delving a little deeper in to this topic, the 'So you've been publicly shamed' podcast is quite good.

Several examples/interviews including the woman who made that off the cuff tweet whilst on a flight to Africa from a few years ago. (This one: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/dec/22/pr-e...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p07h3hhp/episodes...

I appreciate that Jon Ronson may not fit the PH profile though laugh
I'd never heard of the lady and that particular tweet - but blimey! If you post something that in hindsight you might think - I wonder if this will be taken literally? and so delete it, but didn't.

The world must have felt liked it just ended for her that day
I hadn't heard of her either. The Grauniad link doesn't work.
This one provides a reasonably balanced view - https://uproxx.com/viral/what-happened-to-justine-...
Users of social media ought to heed this advice - https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/05/17/remain-si...

Its the apparent piling in of one on the other to lay in a metaphorical boot or punch after the laws already dealt or is dealing with the offender.

The law dealing with her and deciding the punishment is enough, theres no need for extra judicial punitive measures to be taken by anyone.

If I did what she did, I'd fully expect my employer to take a dim view at the least and would expect to get sacked.

If I took a dog from a rescue organisation and was shown to be treating the dog as she was in the video, I wouldn't in the slightest be surprised if they came back for it.

I bet anything you like that it's in their terms and conditions when someone takes a dog.

And I bet there's a clause in her employment contract about bringing the company into disrepute.

Mob rule is bad, I agree, but it isn't the case here. It's three organisations acting entirely within their rights.

She should be arrested for animal cruelty, a rescue dog as well, which is no better, but i'm sure it has been treated badly already, strangling it, it is clearly in distress.

She is the sort that tells everyone she has a rescue dog, a black square on Instagram, a superficial horrible women who clearly has done this before and finally met her match.

They are protective measures aimed at preserving the reputation of the company and the safety of the dog.

Isn't that free speech though?

I'm struggling to grasp how someone can A) not understand that and B) view it as mob rule
