2. Between the stereotyping "a Karen" and the feeling (maybe only imagined by me? I hope so) that someone is a little gleeful over the woman getting death threats, this seems like a really horrible story.
Karen - err, Amber - was claiming she was exempt from the mask requirement thanks to the first amendment, something she clearly did not understand. She then proceeded to try to sue Gutierrez for half of the proceeds for the GoFundMe campaign citing that it’s her involvement that caused his windfall. So... maybe she could benefit from learning that actions have consequences.

She was also quoted as saying she has a medical exemption, but has not offered any proof that is true. Even if true, companies could still refuse her service as being Karen with a doctor's note is not a "protected class".:-)
It's a really shitty thing to do. People with real disabilities get screwed over, staff who don't know the law and who have no practical way of determining if you really have a disability or not get exposed, other customers are put at risk.
I think it's great when people carry around the equivalent of a Boolean flag indicating that they're lazy and or stupid. Clearly anyone carrying that around is one or the other because "posses" is not a word in the English language.

Aliteracy warning! Beware! The above person knows how to read, but is constitutionally incapable of reading. This person is very dangerous. Do not attempt to approach, and whatever you do, do not attempt to reason with them. They are ignorant and dangerous, and they appear completely normal at first glance.
I got ahead of myself with indignation on that one, and didn't take into account words that clearly have nothing to do with the author's intended message when they wrote the card in question.
I've got a lot of spelling and grammar related rage.
I submit the following sentence from the mentioned card:
"Wearing a face mask posses a mental and/or physical risk to me."
Clearly the usage of "posses" is as a verb, and not the plural noun regarding a group of people as defined in either of the dictionary links
