BPR: A CBS Chicago anchor was raked over the coals for a piece of so-called journalism about a man “ignoring COVID-19 protocol.”
Investigative reporter and anchor at CBS 2 Chicago, Brad Edwards was lambasted and dubbed the “male Karen” for his report on an ice cream truck driver who was not practicing social distancing or wearing a protective mask while operating in one neighborhood. more
There is always someone watching you who is not your friend.
I know I’m not always up on the modern lingo, but who is this “Karen” everyone keeps talking about?
No gloves?
FWIW, gloves collect and transmit a virus as easily as bare hands unless you remove and dispose of them every time you touch something and before you touch something else. In fact, I think they probably become a concentrated source of them after a while.
Same with masks.
IMO.
Now that ass holes a Bad Brad. I may need to change my name.
Instead of Karen the snitches should be called Nancys, Alexandria, Maxine or Ilhan. How about Gretchen?

“I may need to change my name.”
Don’t you dare.
How sexist!
Xe’s just “a Karen”.
(Oh. And. Burn the witch!)
…Hoffman Estates was built by the formerly sucessful Sears as an upper management cult compound,a fair part of the reasom they are FORMERLY successful, and this is just something you’d EXPECT there, because, it’s a douchebag colony, but maybe not for much longer…

“I can’t understand what you’re saying. Back up and remove the mask,” the driver said.
“I’m not removing the mask,” Kelly shot back.
Mr. Freeze is a master troll. I’d get something for that frostbite, Mr. Kelly.
…jornaldo would have been OK with THIS “Ice Cream” truck, gloves or no…

And 911 will ticket you for being an asshole and wasting their time. Well, usually.
@Bad_Brad – I was a waitin’ fir ya comment on this one!!? LOL.
I read the story, saw the guys name and thought, uh boy…
Snitch on the snitches and make a list.
Perhaps this Dan Edwards punk was inspired by people in Nazi Germany who ratted out their neighbors to the Gestapo and German police.
Berlin, Germany, 1942.
Frau Krappe to Gestapo: That man next door listens to forbidden BBC broadcasts. And, he’s got a big crooked nose and curly hair – he’s a dirty Jew.
Lt. Heidlemann: We’ll get him. Comrades, go get the dirty Jew next door. Don’t worry, good Frau, he’ll soon be going “Up The Chimney”. Danke, Frau Krappe for doing your duty to the Fuhrer. Heil Hitler.
Frau Krappe: Heil Hitler.
FYI:
“Karen” = an entitled bitch who wants everything NOW, and never admits when she’s wrong. There’s an entire sub-Reddit genre on “Karens”.
This is the one that everyone means, and SHOULD be using for the meme calling;
“Gladys” = named for Gladys Kravitz, the ever snoopy neighbor on “Bewitched”, always calling the police (etc) on the Darrin & Samantha Stephens family.
“Oh, Abner, Abner! Look!”
