Maybe instead of vigilantes policing how women dress, we should have a dedicated police force. Call them decency or virtue police or something like that.

Not police, that word is too aggressive, and they're only here to guide women on how to dress. Ah, that's it, the Guidance Patrol.

Am I reading this correctly? She pulled down the girls skirt, commented on the crop top and insinuated that she thought the girl was underage?

How is this not a larger focus of the story? This woman thought it was acceptable to disrobe a child. The fact that the girl wasn't a child doesn't really matter to me, what the actual fuck is that logic?

Details are really fuzzy from the article, but they mention how the older woman was criticizing her for her skirt being hiked higher than her genitals. So I believe what "pulled down" means in this context is "pulled down to the appropriate height to cover her genitals", not "pulled down to expose her genitals (i.e. disrobe)"

Ah, so now she is the fashion police?

"threat on her life" Really? How can one go through life being that scared?

Be white and come from a well-off family. Religion also helps. Especially one that teaches you there’s nothing better than being a victim.

Makes her seem extremely weak to me. Easily intimidated. People in power are going to have enemies. Who wants someone in charge where someone else could intimidate them into doing something? I sure don't.

If a Karen cannot find a minority to harass, he or she will inevitably turn on whatever target happens to be available

Utah official Lorenzo sounds like an extremely repressed lesbian to be honest. Which considering what party she's affiliated with, makes sense - Grand Old Projection party.

Was this one of Utah's Genital Inspectors?

I wonder if the restaurant has any security footage for the court
