A White Woman, Teresa Klein, Called the Police on a Black Child She Falsely Said Groped Her
Remember her name, the more racist people caught on camera the better.

A white woman who called the police after claiming that a young black boy touched her behind in a Brooklyn deli drew a storm of ridicule and criticism on social media, and late on Friday she made a public apology to the child.
Critics characterized the incident as the latest example of a hypersensitive white person calling the police to report black people for dubious reasons. Many detractors imputed racist motives to the woman, Teresa Klein.
She was quickly labeled “Cornerstore Caroline” by Jason Littlejohn, 37, a lifelong Flatbush resident who recorded the commotion on Wednesday outside of the Sahara Deli Market on Albemarle Road. Mr. Littlejohn’s Facebook recording of the incident had been viewed 4 million times by Friday evening.
“I was just sexually assaulted by a child,” Ms. Klein is heard saying on the video as she said she was on the phone with the police. The boy, who is about 9, and another child burst into tears outside the store as bystanders confronted Ms. Klein about the incident.

Beyond the wide range we consider normal, before arriving at outright insanity, is a whole host of mental problems of various type and degrees. Trump's an obvious case.
Mental disorder is common, especially in mild degrees. Given the very outrageousness of her action and that this woman has also harmed herself by her behavior, shouldn't it at least be considered? .
And if anyone doesn't care to know because it'd interfere with anger and punitive feelings, maybe consider it an opportunity for learning and developing empathy the other direction: Many conservatives feel exactly the same way. That's why they get outraged whenever liberals claim a criminal is mentally ill and want to help instead of punish. Drives 'em crazy.
