'You Don't Belong Here': Woman and Son Call Police on Black Employee in Viral Video

[Demovictory9]

In the caption of the video, Martinez explained that on the evening of November 27 he was doing his job checking for car permits at the River House Apartments. He said a woman and her son confronted him and accused them of following him around earlier.

"While performing a routine parking permit audit on the premises for my employer the duo confronted me at a nearby elevator," the caption read. "The first words that came out of the Karen's mouth were 'you don't belong here, how did you get in here.'"

He explained that the video begins after the initial confrontation and that "the rest is Karen history."

2. Horrible.

32. There might be something in the Renter's Agreement that allows them to boot her out of there.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

51. My thought too (later). I surely hope there is. . . . nt

[panader0]

3. What's the follow up?

Did the son get arrested? Inquiring minds...

[EYESORE 9001]

5. I'm curious about that too

Assault is well documented. If the scenario was reversed, you can bet your ass there’d be an arrest.

7. update

In a update posted on his YouTube channel, Martinez wrote:

Just talked to DA’s office and told to appear on Wednesday the 1st between 8am-11:00am to press formal charges.

First thing, tomorrow I will be heading to the DAs office to press charges and will provide an update shortly.

Second, the property management has been in contact with me and are appalled as to what has happened. They assured me they were taking swift action and I commend them for taking the initiative in this regard.

Third, I’m asking all the wonderful people that have supported me through this trying time to please refrain from calling the property they are and have been very receptive to the issue.

I worked for a company contracted with the property to perform the vehicle audits for violations of the permit, handicap spots, etc. Ironically enough, all the other tenants that saw me in the garage had said hi and were pleasant. It most situations that is the norm and not blatant profiling and harassment.

Finally, I’m asking to please be civil. I understand many have good intentions and want to right a wrong but doxxing is dangerous and irresponsible. They are and will be answering for their crimes so please keep that in mind before putting someone’s (even these intolerable peoples) information online.

24. Woman is Bitsy Brennan and her son is Edward Brennan

https://getindianews.com/who-is-edward-brennan-bitsy-brennan-son-racist-assault-assault-video-on-twitter-explained/

Would be nice to hear follow up in days to come that he is charged and then convicted and sentenced to at least some jail time.

[radical noodle]

43. Oh perfect!

Bitsy is better than Karen, I think.

[yardwork]

67. Of course her name is Bitsy.

[MaryMagdaline]

4. The young guy has some serious anger issues

He’s going to be a spouse abuser. Thinks other people are here to be bossed around.

[Roy Rolling]

9. The kid is not well

He looks medicated. He is suffering from a brain disease and is stuck with a caregiver named Karen.

These patients deserve better, it’s child abuse for adults with a child’s brain.

If he isn’t a victim of brain disease, I stand corrected. But I have training to spot such symptoms, but I’m definitely not a doctor.

Like Ronny Jackson. LOL

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. I'm curious as to the signs. Is it when he says "I didn't attack the police" and then corrects

... himself?

The denial after the clear unprovoked attack? But the karen denied it too.

Other symptoms? I looked at the way he walked and talked and nothing stood out for me. I'm not trained like you but I am quite curious about these kinds of issues.

[jmbar2]

8. For his own sake

He should be wearing some sort of uniform or official ID visible. Otherwise, regardless of race, he could be mistaken for scoping out cars in a parking lot.

But what happened to him was a crime.

[Voltaire2]

15. What?

You just did a full victim blame.

[jmbar2]

38. No, I did not

In today's vigilante gun era, someone even remotely suspected of prowling cars could get shot. The fact that he is a black man raises that risk. Highly visible ID is for his safety.

No guarantee that it would work, but gives him a better chance of surviving a Karen with a gun.

My error was not reading through to see that he, indeed, did have visible ID.

If he were my son or employee working in that capacity, he'd have a highly visible company vest, hat, uniform, or other indication that he is doing his job.

To protect him from getting shot by a crazy vigilante.

[DLevine]

18. He actually was wearing an ID around his neck.

Not that it makes any difference. They had no right to confront him.

From the link: "In the caption of the video, Martinez explained he had an ID hanging from his neck that was visible".

[jmbar2]

31. OK, my bad. Did not see that.

Thanks for correcting me.

[DLevine]

34. You're welcome. It was easy to miss. nt

[happy feet]

23. "regardless of race"

Factual history wholeheartedly disagrees with you.

[IronLionZion]

25. People don't care about the ID hanging around a worker's neck

they only care about his race.

I speak from experience many times with these types of people who can clearly see my ID and choose to ignore it. They think they know who belongs there and who doesn't.

[Javaman]

26. What? Really? You're blaming him for minding his own business

Then being assaulted?

[yardwork]

68. According to the article, he was wearing an ID around his neck.

In the article he's quoted as saying that he thought these people knew who he was and why he was there, since all the other residents of the building had acknowledged him in a friendly way. He thinks they did this to demean him.

[malaise]

10. And they wonder why African-Americans have high blood pressure

Ma should send that boy to weight watchers

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. "He's black". "Tell them I'm a black man walking." . . . . nt

[Voltaire2]

14. Son of Karen.

Coming to video streams nationwide.

[Carlitos Brigante]

16. This sucks! But I have to admit that seeing that doughy fuck have to pick himself up

after trying to be a "tough guy" brings a smile to my face.

[Voltaire2]

30. Made my day.

[Carlitos Brigante]

42. .

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Leaving the scene of the crime, too. . . nt

[Voltaire2]

28. I'm pretty sure 'leaving the scene of a crime'

is not a crime. Perhaps you are confusing it with automobile hit and run laws?

Karen and Son are horrible people and he should be charged with assault, not hit and run.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

35. I think you are right & I was over-eager. But it is odd to call the cops and then leave. . . nt

[Voltaire2]

47. Did Karen actually make the call?

They knew they were fucked when SOK assaulted him on camera.

[BComplex]

54. SOK...

Son of Karen...the new whodunit show.

[DLevine]

20. There needs to be serious consequences for these assholes. nt

[PatSeg]

21. Geez, the guy had a work ID hanging around his neck

If they thought he was really a threat, they would have been afraid to approach him and probably would have left and called the police from a safe distance. Who goes up to someone they believe is a criminal and harasses them? If they'd done that with someone who was actually committing a crime, they could have been in danger. So essentially, they are just obnoxious racists.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Yes. They just wanted to give a black person a hard time. And now they will carry a grievance

When (if) Edward Brennan gets charged with assault and battery he and Bitsy Brennan will complain to all their fellow karens and kens that the system is against them, that they are victims, that they were just doing their duty protecting their place of domicile.

[jaxexpat]

33. Eddie forgot his AR15.

Then he could have defended himself and the story would go down differently for all.

[PatSeg]

39. So typical of these kinds of people,

always finding ways to portray themselves as the victims, but never taking responsibility for their own actions. Petty and entitled little people.

[Old Crank]

29. Nothing might come of this

But if the police accept the charges and arrest teh woman and the son they will learn the costs of criminal lawyers and retainer fees in a hurry.

[dalton99a]

36. Mary "Bitsy" Cronin Brennan & Edward Brennan

[Carlitos Brigante]

44. Fucking "Bitsy"? Come on!! Are you pulling our leg? Is this Photoshop? I swear

this sounds like a "Stephanie Miller skit".

Great find BTW!

[sdfernando]

48. Works for UBS Financial???

but for how long? Waiting to hear from UBS on this.

[Kingofalldems]

50. Ahhh, Chevy Chase.

Now I get it.

[Solomon]

52. It's down right embarrassing. I live in Chevy Chase. Just like with that stupid bicycle guy

who attacked and ripped the posters out of those little girls hands. He lived around here too. Surprised me because I always thought this area was pretty liberal and sophisticated. More non-whites are moving into the neighborhood though. I'll bet you that's the source of a lot of angst. Ripping the scab off of pretense.

[byronius]

37. Ones hopes for some measure of justice. This is horrible. The son needs to be charged.

[StarlightGold]

40. PLEASE tell me

these pieces of garbage were arrested or charged or lost their jobs. Please.

[Demovictory9]

59. Yesterday was victims meeting with police

[llashram]

41. typical behavior

of those fearful individuals trying to take back their country. One person at a time and one coup attempt at a time, one Supreme Court decision. Our Legislative branch can pass laws giving women rights to their own bodies. Yet will that branch protect our human and civil rights? Can it? America is getting extremely dangerous for decent people. The rest of where this can lead IS in our national history...

[Carlitos Brigante]

45. It's too bad that the "Karening" is nothing like Highlander's "Quickening". Where

"there can be only one.".

[George II]

46. I love some aspects of that article:

1. "the rest is Karen history." -

2. "The CAREN Act" - DOUBLE and

[Celerity]

49. Video Update by the victim: Karen profiling and Attack - DA update, police report and more

[Bernardo de La Paz]

53. The ken is talking about pressing charges against Martinez but he doesn't want karen & ken doxed. nt

[Voltaire2]

56. For what? Resisting assault?

[kairos12]

55. What a great guy. I admire his spirit and attitude.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

57. One wonders why such a clear thinking articulate human being is reduced to checking parking garages

Oh, wait, he's black and it is Tennessee.

[SunImp]

58. Hopefully these fools won't belong anywhere after this

[IcyPeas]

61. I think platinum blonde dye jobs must be seeping into all these karens' brains.

[Retired Engineer Bob]

62. Appears Ken has been charged

A man accused of racially profiling a Black worker in a Tennessee parking garage with his white mom has been charged with assault after a video of the altercation went viral on social media, the Nashville Metro police said.
