She'll TELL you about it at the very start. The woman who filmed this had a small child with her while the screaming woman yelled at her. Police were called 7 times before they showed up 45 minutes into this.
Oh, and the woman who filmed this? She's getting threats of rape and murder now.

(13,421 posts)I am in a Facebook group with the woman who filmed this. We've all heard about the tRump supporters doing awful and evil racist shit out there in the real world. There's almost a mental thing going there that all that stuff is done by a bunch of hillbillies wearing bib overalls riding around in an old pickup truck, or a bunch of KKK folks wearing pointy hoods on their heads.
This was a white woman carrying a designer bag (Kate Spade) wearing what look like some expensive boots, in a freaking craft store in Wrigleyville/Boystown in Chicago screaming racist crap and swearing at the minority employees in the store. What set her off was being asked did she want to buy a big over-sized shopping bag to fit her purchases.
It is amazing and awful.

She's definitely on the Trump train, and we all know the Trump train has quite the loco motive.

That's why I'm tired of all the crap about her not appealing to regular people and trump representing them.
The average Trump voter is not poorly educated or unemployed, nor does he live in a rural area. Back in May, FiveThirtyEights Nate Silver punctured the myth of the working class being Trumps voter base: In exit polls of 23 states from the primaries, all showed a higher median income for Trump supporters than the national average, usually around $70,000. Exit polls last week, while not definitive, reveal that both college-educated white men and college educated white women voted for Trump by much higher than expected margins.

Statistical
(19,264 posts)They are noteable because they put Trump over the top (in key rustbelt states) thinking Trump cares about them and he will get them jobs. In other words suckers. The rich voted for Trump for more direct and plausible reasons. He will put minorities in their place and give them money.

(28,876 posts)I didn't even know these ridiculous things existed, turns out they do, and run about $200.
Let's assume she has added a Michael Kors puffy jacket with that (mismatched) Kate Spade bag, for the full Nordstrom Rack trifecta.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm bourgie too, but she's doing it all wrong and looks like a fool (which, obviously, is exactly how she acts). Fashion versions of a work boot, carrying that Kate Spade bag with whatever you are wearing, just because it's the most expensive bag you have = poser.
The outfit, plus the claim that she is at Michael's "everyday", strongly points to a spoiled brat millennial of upper middle class parents. Likely the no job, live at home variety.
I'm sorry your friend had to be exposed to this spectacle.

They are the victims according to their fuhrer because they had to acknowledge the sun didn't rise and set on their ass only. White supremacy WILL DIE.

(19,264 posts)Have they never noticed that our eyes are set horizontally. That TVs are wider than they are tall. That signs are usually displayed left to right not up to down.
Also the lady being filmed is pathetic. She gets almost hysterical at the end. I think she honestly believes she is being persecuted.

It is Jennifer Boyle, who previously worked for Sinai Health System. I know this for sure because I was her coworker. She is just as nuts in person as this video depicts.

From a legal perspective, I am not sure what I am or am not allowed to say; but I will leave it at this. EVERYONE was happy when they found out she was no longer welcome back.

(13,421 posts)I just saw that last night. It's equally bad. Cannot imagine putting up with that at work. I'm pretty sure I'd end up arrested after I pulled a Monty Python style move and smacked her upside the head with a big wet fish. Not sayin' it would be the right thing to do, but it sure would be gratifying.
When karma comes for her it is liable to be spectacular.

(29,503 posts)before another viral video which excoriates the mentally ill and their odd behaviors (and yes, even loud right-wing people can be clinically mentally ill) making the rounds of yet another 'bored cube rats discussion board' ... appears on DU!
1) Nobody important would dare put this up.
2) Nobody important would be talking about her or her rant.
3) Progressives would take the time to find out the circumstances surrounding her meltdown (did she lose her job, a loved one/death in the family, did she skip any maintenance psychotropic medication, etc.).
That said, I know nothing about her, I don't know whether she is or is not mentally ill, I do not know whether she is or is not experiencing post-traumatic stress. The resident geniuses on DU do know all this, of course.
I know, I'm wasting my energy even posting this, but for my own sake, I'm posting it.
