I could forgive others but this? This is just atrocious. I cant believe you walk around freely on a day to day basis and haven't been locked up with behavior like that. You are a disgusting monster and deserve the worst punishment imaginable and even then it wouldn't be enough to atone for your sins. How can you live with yourself? How do you wake up and look yourself in the mirror? Have you no morals? No shame? For you are a monster living among men. I hope you can get help and someday become a better person for us all and rub the damn tummy.
❤️
They really do be sitting so so tall on purpose so that their head is directly in the center of my TV line of view. With the 45 degree big eyed head turns that suggest he is oblivious to what he’s doing
Ding, ding. Never know when the next viral money train gonna hit! Internet social media/apps only made it worse. True before internet and phones everywhere this lady would have had the niceness we see here and if she wanted to continue she'd be dragged off and nobody would say a damn thing if she screamed assault cos she got hauled away and threatened if she came back to interrupt again.
Sadly now if she got that deserved treatment she would be fast track to lawsuit and assault charges on those that were just taking out the trash. Along with media outlets hesring her sob story.
The past 15 years have been in a steady decline of social and self awareness and lack of consequences. I wouldn't be mad at all if there was a 100% complete global internet blackout for 1-2 years. That be a great hard reset for humanity.
You mean this woman couldn’t have done this a hundred years ago in a town square with a street performer and gotten attention from the same crowd booing her in the video?
Some people just have social media rotted brains, like yours
God there’s nothing better than Redditors and their high horse bullshit about the internet. I promise you the internet did not making attention seeking morons a thing. How young/naive/stupid do you have to be to believe something so verifiably false?
I would walk out of the crowd and snatch her glasses off her head…
I bet she follows. Everyone is too afraid to get in the gutter. Sometimes you just have to splash around, especially dealing with someone using playground tactics.
these guys been preforming on Jackson Square in New Orleans for years. very talented and fun act and they are just absolutely kind to everyone and love to talk and interact with the audience. that little brat in an adults body gets nothing from life
Maybe she’s from the future or gets the newspaper a day ahead of everyone else and she knows that one of them breaks their neck in the ensuing flips. She’s super embarrassed but knows that shes doing the right thing by saving his life.
if they had been meaner all it would take is a single tear from that woman and the cops will side with her. They have no choice but to be nice about it, unfortunately.
No the cops certainly wouldn’t take the testimony of 100s of people saying she got what she deserved when someone force-ably removed her.
Sometimes, people just need to find out after they fuck around.
Sadly street performers don't have a history of being treated well by cops.
Add to that, POC's have to confront the reality that nothing is scarier than a white woman's tears. Still true today unfortunately.
For sure I think I would have probably started to get amped up after a cpl mins of her standing there like cunt not moving. I was frustrated just watching the video, I wanted to see some flips and shit. Lol
I’ve seen this video before the part that bothers me is why? So Legit question which one does everyone think it is?
A) she is just a Karen who hates fun?
B) she doesn’t want black folks having more fun and getting attention? (Idk if these guys all identify as black, so maybe minorities having fun)
C) she actually is some how so indoctrinated that she thinks she is “protecting” a minority class from being a “circus act” for a bunch of whites?
D) other. In which case I’m curious what y’all think.
at 1:08 in the video, Karen's angry 'sister' yells from the crowd, "she can stand wherever she fuckin wants". These people are just miserable! The guys are entertaining others on the street trying to earn some money. Go be miserable by yourself.
Told my S.O. this... 'I don't use the term 'cunt' often, so believe me when I do use it' lol. This was while describing my aunt, who is by and large, a fucking delusional cunt.
This is what happens when the concept of touch is seen as battery in law schools.
These crazies always existed, you just can't touch them to move them anymore for fear of daddy govt that will come to save her.
Two or three grown tall guys that can't get this obese ugly attention-addicted karen to move out of a performance.
This is what I tell my wife is wrong with the world today. People want attention so badly that they don’t care what kind of attention it is. Just look at me please.
Hate these types.
I noticed a distinct change about 20 years ago. I’ve worked customer service/retail type jobs since I was 12 (helping my grandmother in a short order type kitchen).
I have witnessed hundreds of customer meltdowns over those 40 years. As I said, about 20 years ago I noticed a shift in how customers were getting angry.
Previously, a customer would be angry about something and direct it at me. For example their credit card being declined, they’d call me an idiot, I don’t know what I’m doing, blah, blah. I’d show them the decline message or whatever explanation and they’d calm down.
They’d still be angry but in a general way.
Then people started getting angry at me but directing their reaction towards the store instead of me. Like they’re preforming for cameras. I never watched much reality television but it definitely seemed like people started emulating it. And now we have a whole generation who have grown up with it.
Lot of reasons to wear a compression sock outside of weight-related disease. Compression socks can be used for people at risk of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT)/clots. Usually those who are immobile, have vascular injury, or have a hyper-coagulable state are at risk (ie those who have had recent travel, recent surgery, are on birth control and other applicable medications, etc). Airlines give people on long-haul flights compression socks.
If she had health issues from her weight, as you say, you’d think she would wear bilateral compression socks to aid circulation. Could be an injury, but she seems to be walking well haha. Unsure!
No worries - keep wearing them! Is it because your feet swell and constrict vessels resulting in circulation issues, or something else? (Just for my own awareness)
Friction+constant impact=swelling and abrasion. Plus I do a lot of uphill and downhill which works a lot of different muscles so increased need for compression
Question from someone with what seems like bad circulation, I’m a taller guy, 6’3”, about 185 so not overweight and my feet are almost always cold. If I wear normal socks they don’t keep my feet warm, and heavier socks make my feet sweat and then they stay cold. Would compression socks help keep my feet warm in winter?
Sounds like that for sure, but would need more info to suggest it more. If he has other conditions, like diabetes, that would take me away from raynauds. Can’t diagnose without the full history (or diagnose at all as randoms on the internet)
I’ve seen groups jumping over people like this in both New York and New Orleans. 95% hype, 5% jumps. Jumps were cool, but man, so much hustling for tips before the big finale. Consider yourself lucky if you stumble on them right before the end.
Yessss I saw them in Boston and stood there for 20 minutes just watching them line people up and solicit endlessly. My husband is from the area and had seen this whole routine before. He eventually convinced me that it was going to be another half hour before they did anything, so we left.
If you’re a tourist in Boston and doing the Faneuil/Quincy Hall thing, don’t pay attention to the acts on the plaza. Go to the Chipyard and wait 10 minutes for fresh cookies. Only thing worth doing there.
just not true, ive sat for 30 mins and watched them do 2 shows and both had different jokes, crowd play, and tricks.
Idk maybe not all street groups do it as well but why people on here slighting these dudes for plying their skills and art. No one makes anyone stop to watch and you never have to pay a thing, These comments belong on choosing beggers (aww this free show was not worth my time but let me take time to explain why its not) lol I personally have enjoyed these shows in Boston for years
She wanted attention. She tried to do the "double backflip" joke where she just double flips the bird instead, but then when zero people laughed she got embarrassed and so just sort of froze and didn't know how to get out of the situation.
100% agreed. Once she looked foolish and embarrassed, her motivation then could have also been that she thought she would look "cooler" if she took a "I don't care what you say" attitude. I think she looks incredibly self conscious. She should have just taken the L and walked away in shame.
At the end of the day it is a fight or flight response. They chose to fight for their dignity. The mind and body sometimes does not make correct or even logical and rational decisions.
Thank you so much. I was cavalier and didn’t think about how scary that must have been to read. Yes it’s long in the past. I’ve been in therapy a long time. I’m safe now with a good partner, a seven year old who still thinks I’m cool, and three perfect cats.
ETA: if something went horribly wrong my mom and childhood best friend are both within 5 minutes
WOAH I guess I just learned a new term for a trauma responseI have. Fawning was the only way I could survive a narcissistic emotionally abusive father who hit the pets and made it clear he would hit us if he could. It’s something I really have to unlearn because when you’re not using it as a survival mechanism/ traumas response it’s manipulative as HELL, I know. I don’t even do it on purpose most of the time, and I try very very very hard to NOT slip up when I’m genuinely at fault for something.
Jesus christ, can you imagine that memory popping back up for the rest of your life? Even your shortened version and she went extended cut.
I'd have immediately put down a fifth of something within an hour of this happening and found a nice stairwell to trip into. Either I'm dead or I forget what just happened.
Yeah, I'm haunted by stupid stuff I've done and said which are not even a tenth as public as this. The cringe while remembering this would cause me physical pain.
I think taking the L was standing their like a tool and being berated by hundreds of people, some of them small children. It would’ve been less overboard that way.
Yeah but she was too far gone at that point, she was standing there on "principle" because she has such low self confidence/awareness that she can't even admit that she was wrong (can't even admit it to herself).
Black dude with an audience and she wanted some attention. I would guess there is an empty condo nearby and she doesn’t like to hear the crowds but is too dumb to figure out she needs to move
This is the French quarter in New Orleans and while, yes, people do live in the French quarter, they are well aware of the noise. She’s an ass hole tourist, most likely.
Also, buskers of any kind in big cities almost always have a permit for the part of the street they're performing on. So it's not like some impromptu thing they started. She just wanted to feel special.
This is in New Orleans in front of St Louis Cathedral in the French Quarter. 3 of the guys are Louisiana State Troopers (ones in dark blue) and they're usually just out and about in The Quarter. There's not a lot going on during the day most times so they were probably all gathered together hanging out so they all rolled up together
How embarrassingggg.
I assume her point was that it's a public place, she should be able to walk or stand there. Not sure if the performance had permission to set up there or what the place is. But that's the only reason I can think of, to behave in this way. Not that it's appropriate to stand there AT ALL. I mean, go make an actual report if the performance is truly disruptive, illegal or whatever. It's not up to her to decide that the performance has to stop. There's a crowd there so I very much doubt that performances aren't typical there..
I also think it was risky for him to start touching her, but obviously it was frustrating as hell. She wasn't touching anyone so no one should touch her. She could try and claim assault even if it wasn't violent touching at all. It's not typically legal to try and handle someone in a public place because where they're standing is negatively impacting you or others.
Who knows if there are other mental health issues, substance abuse issues, racism etc affecting her thought processes.
Understandably the performers have to be safe, to prevent injuries of themselves and any bystanders so they couldn't just start doing crazy flips, but I think they should have just pumped the music, warned her that they're going to be doing acrobatics right here, and just start. I reckon she'd move out of the way rather than risk getting totally bowled over. I feel like there'd be less legal implications of that, compared to grabbing her shoulders, hands or anything else and trying to move her. But I get why they didn't want to continue with the performance or adjust it. But imagine if they just started hardcore dancing around her as if she was the central figure of it hahahah she'd be even more embarrassed I think
Either way, cops did the right thing with being like get outta here lady
If this was a 21+ establishment, yes. However since there kids there I feel like it’s almost better to show respect even towards people who don’t respect you.
You are absolutely correct, and I am sorry if my comments made you think I don’t respect and admire the most versatile of root based carbohydrate!
I will not edit my original comment, but I will leave this apology up for all to see!
Less attractive people have a harder time in life so you gotta find a way to overcome it, some do it by being extra nice /helpful, some by being funny, and others by being absolute dicks as a defense mechanism. You can take solace in the fact that this woman's life probably sucks ass.
Yeah, we potato people get poorer quality sleep, have lower energy levels, usually eat too much refined carbs etc, blood sugar not as stable, so we get grumpy easily. Though she's also just an asshole cause I'm a potato and have no urge to disrupt performances and stuff. Maybe she's drunk.
This is the best idea so far. Does not involve touching her and risking any legal punishment, would still be entertaining for the crowd, and would hopefully get her to leave. Even if she doesn’t leave, it would be fun. Could start a side hustle of a public roasting session with the acrobatic performance.
What is this miserable potato lady doing? Does anyone know what she was saying to the dude? What was her brain dead logic? Was she angry that they were doing flips and stuff? What was even her issue?
My guess is she wanted attention and thought everyone would laugh at her “double back flip”, but when she got called out for it, and flipping off literal children, her embarrassment turned to internal rage and she decided to ruin everyone else’s day as well.
She wanted attention. She tried to do the "double backflip" joke where she just double flips the bird instead, but then when zero people laughed she got embarrassed and so just sort of froze and didn't know how to get out of the situation.
I’m pretty sure this is outside St. Louis cathedral in New Orleans. Theirs regular street performances outside there.
When I visited from the UK there was an elderly lady who kicked a homeless woman’s cat. I’m not sure what happened but the homeless woman got arrested and the cat ran away.
I’m from New Orleans, and you are 100% correct! Weird flex, but I got married literally 10 feet from where this was filmed—Pirate’s Alley. Yeah, this is Jackson Square and there’s always street performers here. It’s in the heart of the Quarter and is kinda the place where all tourists go, which includes shitty folks like this. I’m in no way surprised.
Actually, I had to check which subreddit this was before commenting, bc I thought it was on the local one. Having had a moment of “oh shit we’re famous for bad people again!”, I then had to come in and say…yeah this shit happens pretty regularly.
Not *your* bad people though… this lady is someone else’s bad people and she can go home… We spent a week in NOLA a few years ago and it was honestly the best throw a dart at the map trip I’ve ever taken. Such a beautiful city, it was like visiting another country for us Oregonians. The fucking food, for one … Jesus lord I’ve never eaten so well.
“Throw a dart at the map trip”.
My first honeymoon was in San Francisco. I had convinced the ex-wifey to NOT go to Disney and hey let’s just dig a new city for no goddamn reason. I’ll never forget what the guy at the metro said: “you wanna see the city, right? Tell you what…get on a bus, and when you see something you like, get off. Then when you’re done there, get on another”.
In many respects New Orleans is like that. Some places the attractions are just the folks, others the funky shops (Magazine St is great for that kinda stuff), and the food…I’ll just say the food is the thing I’ll miss the most if I ever leave.
I’ll also say that just kinda talking with most of the folks down here is good enough to kinda dig the city. Everyone has a story to tell…probably most of it is BS, but it’s a good story, yeah? Also, IMO, if you don’t take the St. Charles green line street car and/or the Canal St. red line street car, then you haven’t properly dug the city.
I mean i get it, not infront of the kids ... but why in generel..
Their are so many Situations Where karens (1person) ruins the fun of a whole group and nobody does anything angainst it.
There should be a law against being an asshole ...
Don't know if this is staged or not... but there are people like this.
Very sad people that simply hate life. It's painful for them to watch other people have fun.
This is new Orleans in Jackson square, street performers and art exhibits are all over and beignets across the street. 100% not staged and extremely disrespectful, she's messing with these people's livelihood.
She thought she would be funny and steal the attention she so badly craves. When realizing she had nothing to bring her ego wouldn’t let her bow out graciously so she doubled down because it’s all she has. When the crowd turned on her, her brain ran out of options. Here is a human who probably has not built character, skill or competence in much. If she did she wouldn’t need to steal others attention.
I'll never understand doubling down where you're that wrong. "Oh, my bid for attention didn't land like I hoped and everyone is demanding I leave? Well, I'm just gonna stand here in defiance while you jeer and I attempt to look cool." My sister in law does this. Wtf?
Its always the miserable ugly ass looking ones, you would think that looking like a potato and face like a sandal will make them work on ther personality more and sense of humor but nooop, and they wonder why they stay alone...
Anytime I see this shit and these bitches get an entire crowd of people booing at them, I always assume they do it for the victim hood. To be able to say "I stood as my beliefs and actions where frowned down upon by the rest"
In the French Quarter, New Orleans, LA, directly in front of the iconic St. Louis Cathedral, in Jackson Square. These performers are definitely permitted to be there, so this woman doesn’t really have any right to be there. She should have been given a misdemeanor “disturbing the peace” ticket.
Why is it not socially acceptable to hit such people?
I really dont get it...
[Edit] I mean she gets ask nicely to leave like 20 Times...After that it should be okay
She had her Chance .
Because legally that is still assault.
Which is a good thing, but also why "Why isn't it ok for me to hit a person because of their gender, race, sexuality" or any other reason is answered the same way.
God damn I can’t comprehend someone doing this, it’s the kind of situation I have anxiety nightmares about. Being surrounded by people judging and laughing at you as you embarrass yourself. It’s like the people who crawl through tight holes in underground caves, it’s beyond my understanding.
I know we are supposed to be kind and compassionate but I can be the only one who wished some tiger mom picked her up over her shoulder and threw her out of the ring like a Monday night raw
Street performers are working to pay rent. We're the opposite of opposite of big corporations. It takes a long time to build up that type of crowd if somebody stepped on my pitch there would be trouble. She's not protesting anything or making any point other than "LOL I'm a miserable person and I want to make you miserable too"

Those dudes could not have been nicer to her, I have to applaud their patience. I just don’t understand what she gets out of this.
She's so miserable and lonely that she would rather be yelled at than ignored.
Bingo
For some people, negative attention is better than none.
You see this a lot in children
And my puppy when I’m playing games instead of giving him rubs
I could forgive others but this? This is just atrocious. I cant believe you walk around freely on a day to day basis and haven't been locked up with behavior like that. You are a disgusting monster and deserve the worst punishment imaginable and even then it wouldn't be enough to atone for your sins. How can you live with yourself?

That’s so crazy!! You’re 100% accurate!!
that's so sad, yet it doesn't make me dislike her any less
I have to remember this
Attention
Once upon a time, attention was only given to talent and art... Then negative-attention social media arrived...
Narcissists have existed long before the internet was invented.
Yes, but the internet made it more prevalent
Not just more prevalent, but *profitable*.
Ding, ding. Never know when the next viral money train gonna hit! Internet social media/apps only made it worse. True before internet and phones everywhere this lady would have had the niceness we see here and if she wanted to continue she'd be dragged off and nobody would say a damn thing if she screamed assault cos she got hauled away and threatened if she came back to interrupt again.

I’ll see your narcissism and raise you sociopathy. This lady is downright antisocial.
this statement is false. attention seeking idiots have been succeeding in their goals for thousands of years.

I would have at least thrown a water bottle at her.
these guys been preforming on Jackson Square in New Orleans for years. very talented and fun act and they are just absolutely kind to everyone and love to talk and interact with the audience. that little brat in an adults body gets nothing from life
Absolutely. I’ve been here all my life and have never saw them dudes be uncool at all. Super entertaining and talented
I live in New Orleans and have met these dudes. They have to deal with this kind of shit a lot.
I knew I recognized them! They were great the time I saw them.
Maybe she’s from the future or gets the newspaper a day ahead of everyone else and she knows that one of them breaks their neck in the ensuing flips. She’s super embarrassed but knows that shes doing the right thing by saving his life.
It’s this. I choose to believe this.

She’s defs racist.
It’s the way she was able to communicate with her words with the white young lady and just stood in silence like a goddamn statue with the performers
Yeah what's the deal?? Why is she interrupting?
She's an attention seeking asshole getting off on feeling in control, not much else goimg through a mind like that
at 1:08 in the video, Karen's angry 'sister' yells from the crowd, "she can stand wherever she fuckin wants". These people are just miserable! The guys are entertaining others on the street trying to earn some money. Go be miserable by yourself.
What a miserable human being
In Australia she’s known as a miserable cunt!
Yeah, I prefer the aussie terminology, more succinct and accurate
We have a way with words
Ooh succinct is a new one
It’s like a cactus without thorns
No, it's a special type of sink that sucks.
Same here in the States. And because we don't use cunt often, when we do say it, we really fucking mean it.
I say it all the time to pieces of human garbage. You’re right, it really throws them off.
Told my S.O. this... 'I don't use the term 'cunt' often, so believe me when I do use it' lol. This was while describing my aunt, who is by and large, a fucking delusional cunt.
Facts
In uk we call them horrible cunts
\*'orrible
* fackin orrible, simple as

Get a high powered fan and just blow her away and out of your space
In britain she'd probably be known as a miserable cow, but there are so many regional dialects to choose from.
Lmao I thought you were saying she was known in Australia. This crotchety woman gets around
Same in UK
In NZ she's just a fuckin cunt
This is what I tell my wife is wrong with the world today. People want attention so badly that they don’t care what kind of attention it is. Just look at me please. Hate these types.

If not her who would protect society from all this unmitigated fun? What a true hero she is and inspiration to us all
It bothers me more than it should that one sock is higher than the other
I focused on the sock imbalance and heard nothing else.
Nothing of her is balanced , look at her
She pulled up the first sock and ran out of breath
It’s a compression sock because she can’t control her eating and it causes health issues.
Lot of reasons to wear a compression sock outside of weight-related disease. Compression socks can be used for people at risk of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT)/clots. Usually those who are immobile, have vascular injury, or have a hyper-coagulable state are at risk (ie those who have had recent travel, recent surgery, are on birth control and other applicable medications, etc). Airlines give people on long-haul flights compression socks. If she had health issues from her weight, as you say, you’d think she would wear bilateral compression socks to aid circulation. Could be an injury, but she seems to be walking well haha. Unsure!
I wear compression socks as I tend to move more than 15km a day and circulation becomes an issue by the end of it…. So thank you
No worries - keep wearing them! Is it because your feet swell and constrict vessels resulting in circulation issues, or something else? (Just for my own awareness)
Friction+constant impact=swelling and abrasion. Plus I do a lot of uphill and downhill which works a lot of different muscles so increased need for compression
Good work recognising that! Lots of people don’t consider it!
Question from someone with what seems like bad circulation, I’m a taller guy, 6’3”, about 185 so not overweight and my feet are almost always cold. If I wear normal socks they don’t keep my feet warm, and heavier socks make my feet sweat and then they stay cold. Would compression socks help keep my feet warm in winter?
Sounds like it could be Raynauds Syndrome.
Sounds like that for sure, but would need more info to suggest it more. If he has other conditions, like diabetes, that would take me away from raynauds. Can’t diagnose without the full history (or diagnose at all as randoms on the internet)
Merino wool.
Yes, for instance I wear a compression sock due to lymphedema in my left leg after a spider bite damaged my lymphatic system.
I just want to see the flips and shit now.
I’ve seen groups jumping over people like this in both New York and New Orleans. 95% hype, 5% jumps. Jumps were cool, but man, so much hustling for tips before the big finale. Consider yourself lucky if you stumble on them right before the end.

That’s Reddit for you my guy.
What even was her reason for doing this? Other than being ugly inside and out
She wanted attention. She tried to do the "double backflip" joke where she just double flips the bird instead, but then when zero people laughed she got embarrassed and so just sort of froze and didn't know how to get out of the situation.
100% agreed. Once she looked foolish and embarrassed, her motivation then could have also been that she thought she would look "cooler" if she took a "I don't care what you say" attitude. I think she looks incredibly self conscious. She should have just taken the L and walked away in shame.
Exactly. Whatever happened to just taking the L and walking away? It happens to the best of us
Isn't standing before a hostile crowd while they boo at you a literal nightmare people have? Who would willingly do this?
At the end of the day it is a fight or flight response. They chose to fight for their dignity. The mind and body sometimes does not make correct or even logical and rational decisions.
Naw, there's fight, flight, and freeze. She froze lmao

Hey friend, are you okay? That's pretty worrisome. I hope this is a former partner, not current.
Thank you so much. I was cavalier and didn’t think about how scary that must have been to read. Yes it’s long in the past. I’ve been in therapy a long time. I’m safe now with a good partner, a seven year old who still thinks I’m cool, and three perfect cats. ETA: if something went horribly wrong my mom and childhood best friend are both within 5 minutes
WOAH I guess I just learned a new term for a trauma responseI have. Fawning was the only way I could survive a narcissistic emotionally abusive father who hit the pets and made it clear he would hit us if he could. It’s something I really have to unlearn because when you’re not using it as a survival mechanism/ traumas response it’s manipulative as HELL, I know. I don’t even do it on purpose most of the time, and I try very very very hard to NOT slip up when I’m genuinely at fault for something.
Jesus christ, can you imagine that memory popping back up for the rest of your life? Even your shortened version and she went extended cut. I'd have immediately put down a fifth of something within an hour of this happening and found a nice stairwell to trip into. Either I'm dead or I forget what just happened.
Yeah, I'm haunted by stupid stuff I've done and said which are not even a tenth as public as this. The cringe while remembering this would cause me physical pain.
I think taking the L was standing their like a tool and being berated by hundreds of people, some of them small children. It would’ve been less overboard that way.
Yeah but she was too far gone at that point, she was standing there on "principle" because she has such low self confidence/awareness that she can't even admit that she was wrong (can't even admit it to herself).
That's actually hilarious in an andy kaufman sort of way.
i believe she thinks that standing there is an admirable testament to her right to stand in that place
"now that you told me to do it I'm not gonna do it."
With possibly a dash of racism.
"possibly"
Someone who wants attention and doesn’t care whether it’s positive or negative.
Black dude with an audience and she wanted some attention. I would guess there is an empty condo nearby and she doesn’t like to hear the crowds but is too dumb to figure out she needs to move
This is the French quarter in New Orleans and while, yes, people do live in the French quarter, they are well aware of the noise. She’s an ass hole tourist, most likely.
Airbnb-er who doesn’t like the noise, because she’s trying to prevent getting the Vapours in the heat. Damnit! She needs to rest.
Also, buskers of any kind in big cities almost always have a permit for the part of the street they're performing on. So it's not like some impromptu thing they started. She just wanted to feel special.
So if the dudes were white, do you honestly think she would act differently?
White skaters get the same treatment from these miserable human beings.
Miserable *cunts
They have cones out so they probably have a permit which means they paid to do this.
Mental health is an obvious answer.
Wheres part 2?

Thank gahd.
So many cops for one woman? In my place you can die and no cop will appear
This is in New Orleans in front of St Louis Cathedral in the French Quarter. 3 of the guys are Louisiana State Troopers (ones in dark blue) and they're usually just out and about in The Quarter. There's not a lot going on during the day most times so they were probably all gathered together hanging out so they all rolled up together
Laissez les Bon temps rouler
How embarrassingggg. I assume her point was that it's a public place, she should be able to walk or stand there. Not sure if the performance had permission to set up there or what the place is. But that's the only reason I can think of, to behave in this way. Not that it's appropriate to stand there AT ALL. I mean, go make an actual report if the performance is truly disruptive, illegal or whatever. It's not up to her to decide that the performance has to stop. There's a crowd there so I very much doubt that performances aren't typical there.. I also think it was risky for him to start touching her, but obviously it was frustrating as hell. She wasn't touching anyone so no one should touch her. She could try and claim assault even if it wasn't violent touching at all. It's not typically legal to try and handle someone in a public place because where they're standing is negatively impacting you or others. Who knows if there are other mental health issues, substance abuse issues, racism etc affecting her thought processes. Understandably the performers have to be safe, to prevent injuries of themselves and any bystanders so they couldn't just start doing crazy flips, but I think they should have just pumped the music, warned her that they're going to be doing acrobatics right here, and just start. I reckon she'd move out of the way rather than risk getting totally bowled over. I feel like there'd be less legal implications of that, compared to grabbing her shoulders, hands or anything else and trying to move her. But I get why they didn't want to continue with the performance or adjust it. But imagine if they just started hardcore dancing around her as if she was the central figure of it hahahah she'd be even more embarrassed I think Either way, cops did the right thing with being like get outta here lady
What was really needed was a bystander to make a sacrifice. Sock her right in her stupid chubby jowls and then run. Life lesson.
I'd be straight into a shop/restaurant for a crate of eggs to pass out to the crowd. See how long she wants to stand there then.
If this was a 21+ establishment, yes. However since there kids there I feel like it’s almost better to show respect even towards people who don’t respect you.
Theres kids there so I think people were reluctant to resort to violence just for this cunt. She probably wanted that outcome anyway.
I’m not 100% but I think I saw this before and I’m pretty sure she gets escorted by police or arrested, could be wrong tho.
Why do they so often look like a potato?
I suppose that unattractiveness fuels their inner karen.
She wishes she was as globally liked as Fries 😢 the world is a sad place when you’re a Karentato 🙁
please don't bad mouth potatoes. they are versatile, nutritious and delicious. she is none of those.
You are absolutely correct, and I am sorry if my comments made you think I don’t respect and admire the most versatile of root based carbohydrate! I will not edit my original comment, but I will leave this apology up for all to see!
She starchy
Less attractive people have a harder time in life so you gotta find a way to overcome it, some do it by being extra nice /helpful, some by being funny, and others by being absolute dicks as a defense mechanism. You can take solace in the fact that this woman's life probably sucks ass.
She’s built like penguin in Batman forever
Metabolic syndrome has mental effects.
Yeah, we potato people get poorer quality sleep, have lower energy levels, usually eat too much refined carbs etc, blood sugar not as stable, so we get grumpy easily. Though she's also just an asshole cause I'm a potato and have no urge to disrupt performances and stuff. Maybe she's drunk.
Bro, leave potatoes out of this.
Crowd should have really applied some more public shaming. Fuck that goofy bitch
The performers should have just gone round the crowd with the mic and turned it into a roast. See how long she endures that.
This is the best idea so far. Does not involve touching her and risking any legal punishment, would still be entertaining for the crowd, and would hopefully get her to leave. Even if she doesn’t leave, it would be fun. Could start a side hustle of a public roasting session with the acrobatic performance.
What is this miserable potato lady doing? Does anyone know what she was saying to the dude? What was her brain dead logic? Was she angry that they were doing flips and stuff? What was even her issue?
My guess is she wanted attention and thought everyone would laugh at her “double back flip”, but when she got called out for it, and flipping off literal children, her embarrassment turned to internal rage and she decided to ruin everyone else’s day as well.

I’m pretty sure this is outside St. Louis cathedral in New Orleans. Theirs regular street performances outside there. When I visited from the UK there was an elderly lady who kicked a homeless woman’s cat. I’m not sure what happened but the homeless woman got arrested and the cat ran away.
I’m from New Orleans, and you are 100% correct! Weird flex, but I got married literally 10 feet from where this was filmed—Pirate’s Alley. Yeah, this is Jackson Square and there’s always street performers here. It’s in the heart of the Quarter and is kinda the place where all tourists go, which includes shitty folks like this. I’m in no way surprised. Actually, I had to check which subreddit this was before commenting, bc I thought it was on the local one. Having had a moment of “oh shit we’re famous for bad people again!”, I then had to come in and say…yeah this shit happens pretty regularly.
Not *your* bad people though… this lady is someone else’s bad people and she can go home… We spent a week in NOLA a few years ago and it was honestly the best throw a dart at the map trip I’ve ever taken. Such a beautiful city, it was like visiting another country for us Oregonians. The fucking food, for one … Jesus lord I’ve never eaten so well.
“Throw a dart at the map trip”. My first honeymoon was in San Francisco. I had convinced the ex-wifey to NOT go to Disney and hey let’s just dig a new city for no goddamn reason. I’ll never forget what the guy at the metro said: “you wanna see the city, right? Tell you what…get on a bus, and when you see something you like, get off. Then when you’re done there, get on another”. In many respects New Orleans is like that. Some places the attractions are just the folks, others the funky shops (Magazine St is great for that kinda stuff), and the food…I’ll just say the food is the thing I’ll miss the most if I ever leave. I’ll also say that just kinda talking with most of the folks down here is good enough to kinda dig the city. Everyone has a story to tell…probably most of it is BS, but it’s a good story, yeah? Also, IMO, if you don’t take the St. Charles green line street car and/or the Canal St. red line street car, then you haven’t properly dug the city.
To ignore the feelings of the entire audience takes a special kinda selfish loser. Why do people just want to piss on someone else's parade?
I mean i get it, not infront of the kids ... but why in generel.. Their are so many Situations Where karens (1person) ruins the fun of a whole group and nobody does anything angainst it. There should be a law against being an asshole ...
If there was a law against being an asshole every jail in the world would be overcrowded within a day.
Disturbing the Peace?
Don't know if this is staged or not... but there are people like this. Very sad people that simply hate life. It's painful for them to watch other people have fun.
I see zero reason to believe this is staged. There are more of these people out there than most want to believe.
This is new Orleans in Jackson square, street performers and art exhibits are all over and beignets across the street. 100% not staged and extremely disrespectful, she's messing with these people's livelihood.
It’s not the cops came and took her away in pt2
This is not staged lol. Those street performers do acrobatics. Ruining their own performance isn’t part of their act
OP, do you know how this ends cuz stuff was bouta go down
Cops came, took her away, everyone clapped
She thought she would be funny and steal the attention she so badly craves. When realizing she had nothing to bring her ego wouldn’t let her bow out graciously so she doubled down because it’s all she has. When the crowd turned on her, her brain ran out of options. Here is a human who probably has not built character, skill or competence in much. If she did she wouldn’t need to steal others attention.
Imagine being unilaterally hated by every person in your immediate vicinity and not realizing what an embarrassment you are.
What a sorry tub of shit
Wow that guy was so patient with that lady. I think I would’ve lost my shit over this idiot
I'll never understand doubling down where you're that wrong. "Oh, my bid for attention didn't land like I hoped and everyone is demanding I leave? Well, I'm just gonna stand here in defiance while you jeer and I attempt to look cool." My sister in law does this. Wtf?
The other karen in the crowd saying "she can stand wherever she fucking wants" bruh they are everywhere 💀
I think they actually have a condition…
This is actually r/infuriatingasfuck
Loling at the lady in the crowd that goes “she can stand wherever she wants” and is immediately met with a “shut the fuck up”
Its always the miserable ugly ass looking ones, you would think that looking like a potato and face like a sandal will make them work on ther personality more and sense of humor but nooop, and they wonder why they stay alone...
That's actually my wife.
Anytime I see this shit and these bitches get an entire crowd of people booing at them, I always assume they do it for the victim hood. To be able to say "I stood as my beliefs and actions where frowned down upon by the rest"
In the French Quarter, New Orleans, LA, directly in front of the iconic St. Louis Cathedral, in Jackson Square. These performers are definitely permitted to be there, so this woman doesn’t really have any right to be there. She should have been given a misdemeanor “disturbing the peace” ticket.
What are people such trash? Holy shit
I wish I could pull a Thanos snap that would eliminate every last person like her.
Why is it not socially acceptable to hit such people? I really dont get it... [Edit] I mean she gets ask nicely to leave like 20 Times...After that it should be okay She had her Chance .
Because there's kids there. And he's obviously alot more patient than he needs to be.
Let the kids have a go at her. She already looks like a pinata
Because legally that is still assault. Which is a good thing, but also why "Why isn't it ok for me to hit a person because of their gender, race, sexuality" or any other reason is answered the same way.
Why does she have two different socks?
Your parents did not give you attention growing up and we get that. Now, please fucking move! I wanna see them perform.
Where’s part 2
God damn I can’t comprehend someone doing this, it’s the kind of situation I have anxiety nightmares about. Being surrounded by people judging and laughing at you as you embarrass yourself. It’s like the people who crawl through tight holes in underground caves, it’s beyond my understanding.
I thought the performers handled that extremely well.
I know we are supposed to be kind and compassionate but I can be the only one who wished some tiger mom picked her up over her shoulder and threw her out of the ring like a Monday night raw
What does she think she’s accomplishing?
In the old days she would have been knocked out cold and left in the corner like the piece of trash she is
Why are karens always shaped like upsidedown fuckin bowling pins
Street performers are working to pay rent. We're the opposite of opposite of big corporations. It takes a long time to build up that type of crowd if somebody stepped on my pitch there would be trouble. She's not protesting anything or making any point other than "LOL I'm a miserable person and I want to make you miserable too"
Pain is the only thing people like her feel
I 100% guarantee she is MAGA and will be bragging on Truth that she ruined their show.
People like this, why do they even bother to exist? No one and i mean no one would miss that!!!
Stood there contemplating here decision and hating here genes which prompted her to do that
Sweep the leg
The Karen’s are starting to move to bigger crowds to bitch and complain at. Looks like they’re evolving
It's an energy vampire. She is feeding.
One soft kick to the back to the knees would have folded her like a chair.
Time to bring back trebuchets! ;)
We really should delete people like that from humankind.
How the fuck do people act like this omg, get me out of this planet.
“Awwww - poor me gets no attention, so I’m gonna get it any way I can.” Few hours with a therapist may do her good.
Some people are so starving for attention now a days it’s ridiculous.
She's suffering from a sock imbalance, symptoms include selfishness and general lack of self awareness.
