Amy
Cooper
will
likely
never
have
a
peaceful
day
for
the
rest
of
her
life.
Actions
have
consequences.

If
you’re
unfamiliar
with
the
name
Amy
Cooper
it’s
probably
because
you
recognize
her
as
the
shame-laden
moniker
“Central
Park
Karen”.
Cooper
is
the
white
woman
who
cried,
panicked,
and
used
911
as
a
weapon
against
Christian
Cooper,
a
Black
bird
watcher
in
New
York.
Cooper
(Christian)
told
Amy
that
she
needed
to
leash
her
dog
while
walking
in
the
park
and
this
caused
a
catastrophic
Caucasian
calamity
of
Rosewood
proportions.
As
a
result
of
her
viral
violence
toward
a
Black
body,
Amy
lost
her
job,
was
doxxed
online,
and
ultimately
had
to
go
into
a
self-imposed
witness
protection
program.

Now,
she’s
begging
for
public
empathy.

Cooper
recently
penned
an
op-ed
in

Newsweek
about
how
hard
her
life
has
been
since
that
fateful
day
in
the
park.
She
says
that
she
was
scared
because
Cooper
was
aggressive
toward
her
and
yelled,
“If
you’re
going
to
do
what
you
want,
I’m
going
to
do
what
I
want,
but
you’re
not
going
to
like
it.”
Let
Amy
tell
it,
Christian
then
tried
to
lure
her
dog
away
from
her
with
treats
and
she
felt
she
had
no
recourse
but
to
call
the
police
because
he
had
drawn
his
military-style
semi-automatic
cell
phone
and
started
to
record
her.

…Christian
taunted
me
to
call
the
police.
Seeing
no
other
choice,
I
called
911
and
described
the
man
who
was
threatening
me.
But
due
to
very
spotty
service
in
the
park,
I
had
to
repeat
my
description
of
Christian
multiple
times.

Amy
goes
on
to
say
that
she
was
emphatic
about
Christian’s
Blackness,
not
because
she
is
racist
but
because
of
a
bad
cell
phone
signal.

The
911
tape
makes
it
very
clear
that
the
dispatcher
couldn’t
hear
me
due
to
the
poor
connection—yet
this
fact
went
unreported,
skewing
perceptions
of
my
actions.

The
cantankerous
Karen
then
tries
to
bolster
her
point
by
saying
that
there
are
other
white
folks
are
scared
of
big
Black
Christian
too.

Jerome
Lockett has
stated
that
Christian
also
aggressively
threatened
him,
luring
in
his
dog.
Jerome
said
he
knows
of
two
fellow
dog
owners
who
experienced
the
same
behavior
from
Christian,
but
they
don’t
want
to
come
forward
because
they
are
white,
and
Christian
is
Black.
They
fear
being
canceled—as
I
have
been.

In
a
last-ditch
effort
to
gain
sympathy
by
playing
on
the
public’s
emotions,
Amy
says
that
being
outed
as
a
Karen
has
ruined
the
lives
of
domestic
abuse
victims
who
were
routinely
in
her
care…

There
are
many
others
who
have
suffered
as
well.
Over
the
years,
my
New
York
City
apartment
was
a
safe
haven
to
numerous
women
who
had
endured
abusive
relationships.
 When
I
had
to
flee,
they
lost
their
safe
place
too.

Amy
says
that
she
has
tried
to
reach
out
to
Christian
in
hopes
that
they
could
have
“honest,
productive
conversation”
but
he
has
not
responded
to
her
requests.
Considering
that

Christian
is
now
hosting
a
National
Geographic
television
show
about
nature
and
bird
watching,
we’ll
surmise
that
he’s
too
busy
being
successful
to
entertain
these
white
shenanigans.

In
wrapping
up
her
propaganda
piece,
Amy
says
the
following:

There
is
no
such
thing
as
a
“Karen.”
We
are
all
just
people.
Each
of
us
deserving
grace
and
forgiveness.
In
the
end,
silencing
the
truth,
the
full
story,
hurts
all
of
us.

Yeah.
Nah.
