A new viral TikTok video showed a middle-aged woman screaming homophobic insults at a group of teenagers in a Dollar Tree store in Jacksonville, Florida.

And no, she didn't have a mask on.


The clip was originally posted by TikTok user raysofsunhine, and then later posted to Reddit's PublicFreakout, a common home for clips capturing Karens as they launch into hateful rants in chain stores and parking lots far and wide.

The video—see below—began when the woman's anti-gay rant was already in full swing.

She first leaned into the face of a teenage boy and berated him with homophobic hatred.

"Are ya'll queer? What are you? You like it up your a**hole?"

After her rant only garnered some awkward laughter from the group of teenagers, she muttered a few more things difficult to understand.

As Karen began to leave the store, the teen behind the camera asked, "Are you okay?"

Karen simply attacked again.

"God damn back the f'k up, bitch!"

When one of the teens expressed concern Karen was about to go drive a car, Karen turned around, tried to pick a fight—WITH A MINOR—and then left again.

People on TikTok were outraged, but hardly shocked to see someone behave this way.

Over on Reddit, the comments were relentless—and rather creative.

"Bitch started speaking in cursive around 0:40 😂" -- Aesthetic_NW

"She peaked in high school" -- FEMA_Camp_Survivor

"I'm 44 and this is why I'm always polite to teenagers. The laughing disdain was powerful." -- JackPThatsMe

"1. She's abusing children. Those are someone's kids you're sh*tting on. Not a smart move, knucklehead."

"2. She's arguing with teenagers. You can never win that fight. You're just too old and dried up and it's clear your brain don't work well either." -- bloodahlia

A couple TikTok comments proposed the possibility the teens provoked Karen.

But the woman who posted the original video and witnessed the entire incident, refuted this hot take.

She explained in a few follow up videos.


@raysofsunhine Part two to Karen unhinged

If there is a universal checklist out there of all the chain stores where Karens have made their marks, we must be getting far down that list by now, right?

Video Of Trump Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Is All Kinds Of Awkward After Media Ban Backfires Spectacularly

President Donald Trump's decision to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House prompted a network boycott in solidarity and a ribbon cutting ceremony on the White House's South Lawn came with completely indecipherable audio because the press pool has decided to stop filming daily events.

Footage from a Monday ribbon cutting ceremony revealed that the sounds of the Marine One chopper just yards away drowned out Trump's remarks. The far-right network Newsmax was on the scene, and even they had to admit that Trump's attack against the free press seemed to be “backfiring just a little bit.”

House Republicans Get Hit With Epic Reminder After Tweet Warning About Communists Building Walls

After the official House Republicans X account tweeted a warning that "every communist country eventually builds a wall," critics were quick to point out the party's general hypocrisy.

President Donald Trump has long advocated for the United States to construct a border wall, making it a cornerstone of his immigration policy back in 2016. Since then, Republicans have continued to defend the wall as necessary for reasons of national security.

Mike Pence Reveals Trump's Telling Response After Pence Offered His Prayers Following Jan. 6 Rift

Vice President Mike Pence told the audience during his appearance at the Economic Club of Washington, D.C. that President Donald Trump rejected his offer of "praying" for him following their public rift in the aftermath of the January 6 insurrection.

Pence has long appeared to play both sides, on one hand condemning Trump for pushing the "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was fraudulent, while on the other accusing Democrats of not advocating for election integrity. But he has been out of Trump's good graces for years now since his decision to certify Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.
