(22,316 posts)AUSTIN, Texas Lake Travis ISD School Board candidate Kara Bell was given an assault citation last week after a confrontation with a store employee at Nordstrom Rack located on Brodie Lane.
According to video and a police report obtained by KVUE from the Sunset Valley Police Department, Nordstrom Rack employees called police when Bell refused to put on a mask upon entry of the store.
According to the report and an employee in the video, Bell shoved an employee before forcing her way into a dressing room where she proceeded to call the Nordstrom Rack corporate office.
When police arrived at the store, the employee was standing outside and you can hear her in the video say, "She kept pushing and pushing so I put my arm out to block her from my entrance and then she shoved me!"

The school district is majority white at around 60%, with Hispanics the next largest group. Not all wealthy people are Republicans because there is a progressive group in this area, but all wealthy idiots do seem to be Republican.

(28,461 posts)In the OP's clip, I thought she was raging at the store employee. But that's some BIG white privilege to think she could not only mouth off to cops but obstruct their investigation of the event AND take a step towards them when being investigated for assault. I home she gets the full $500 fine and STFU about being a woman of God - which, as she is learning, is neither a legal identity nor a get out of jail free card.

(21,421 posts)when I hear anti maskers claim what good Christians they are is the abbreviation they used so much a few years back, WWJD. What would Jesus do? I want to come back at them with WWJI. Who would Jesus infect?
Then point out to them that the Christian Bible says that Jesus healed the sick. Nowhere does it say that he spread illness or condoned spreading it.

snip--Sunset Valley police were called to the store on Brodie Lane after Bell refused to put on a mask when she entered the store. According to the police report and other witnesses, Bell shoved an employee before forcing her way into a dressing room, KVUE reported. Apparently, Bell then called the Nordstrom Rack corporate office.
::::Yep, Kara called the managers ::::
snip--Two witnesses corroborated the employees story for police.
In the video, Bell refused to tell officers her name before she is handcuffed. Bell, a candidate for the Lake Travis school board, resisted arrest while yelling to others in the area, according to the video. She was cited for a Class C misdemeanor, which can result in a fine up to $500."

Rigging the System at the Local Level
By Charles Posner, Tiffany Germain, and Anna Chu August 14, 2014, 12:00 am
(snip)
In recent years, the Koch brothers have taken their anti-government, low-regulation lobbying efforts to the local level, wading into county tax debates, city transportation decisions, and even school district bond measures. As Eli Miller, director of the Ohio chapter of AFP, put it: There is no issue we wont get involved in. This local approach is an increasingly important prong in their multifaceted effort to limit government as much as possible, resulting in a system that benefits their business while in many cases negatively affecting everyday citizens.
These cases include a variety of advocacy efforts: some that have gained a broad spotlight for their incredulity, and others that are less newsworthy but just as illustrative of their goal. The instances below describe some of the ways in which the Koch network has operated at the local level to weaken all levels of government and the negative effects that push has on local residents. A partial list of Koch-funded efforts include:
Putting politics over kids in Illinois school districts by working to defeat initiatives intended to update school facilities and avoid cuts to school staff positions and programs Ignoring the environmental consequences by investing in a local board election in Iron County, Wisconsin, to expand mining operations Mounting a campaign to defeat a tax increase for the popular Columbus Zoo, depriving this Ohio institution of a stable revenue source and the ability to grow Lobbying to ban a locally designed mass transit system in Nashville, Tennessee, that would improve the citys connectivity and reduce commuting times for residents Opposing a proposed 1.75 percent food and beverage tax increase in the tiny town of Fremont, Nebraska, that would fund emergency capital improvement projects Nixing a proposed 1 percentage point income tax increase in Gahanna, Ohio, meant to prevent cuts to public safety, save jobs, and keep community centers open Undermining public education in communities across the country by promoting school privatization and attacking teachers unions through local school initiatives and school board elections

Although there is only "1" brother left, I expect AFP (Americans for Prosperity) is still alive and kicking.

It is not stupid to have a rule about wearing masks..Is it stupid to have a rule about putting on a seatbelt?
Of course, I could be wrong....and I have been wrong a whole lot, and will be wrong again..

(1,306 posts)RN for 33 years. Inpatient psych. Hence the facetious DU name.
I have had to deal with these types of people since I was 22 (40 years).
Character pathology, entitled and grandiose, rules apply to other people,
love to cause discord and be the center of attention, love to challenge others'
authority, and -- of course -- whiny victimhood. Wherever they go, they make
the world a miserable place for everyone else.
She is mentally ill -- the kind of ill you can't fix.
I can at least chortle about her reaction to being restrained. They are always
shocked and incredulous when their bad behavior begets the justifiable response.
If she is a child of God, He would probably like to give her a spanking.
