Transit Police are seeking help finding a woman who attacked a route 110 bus driver at Chelsea and Victoria streets around 10:45 a.m. on Saturday.
Police say the woman responded to a request to pay her full fare by throwing coins at the driver. Then, police say, she punched the bus door, shattering the glass, after which she bent back the bus's windshield wipers.
If you know anybody with a pompom and fists of fury, one of them possibly freshly injured, contact detectives at 617-222-1050 or send an anonymous text tip to 873873.

Is that even what Karen means? I don’t think it’s someone who gets violent when asked to pay for something.
And yet, Karen is also
And yet, Karen is also commonly used to refer to a woman who asks others to wear a mask. Confusing.
A Karen is any middle aged
A Karen is any middle aged woman who expresses an opinion, from what I have seen.
I think it's strayed
Originally it was just the "I demand to speak to the manager" stereotype about someone with an overinflated sense of entitlement.
I think you're a bit off the mark though. The definition seems to have shifted to also include any woman that throws a public tantrum, usually an unwarranted one (e.g. the woman who threw items all over the floor in a supermarket because they told her she needed to be wearing a mask or they wouldn't ring her up).
But specifically applied to
But specifically applied to middle aged women. I have worked in customer service long enough to tell you those people are all genders and ages. The whole thing is mysoginistic and needs to be called out. Let's fault the poor behavior without gendering it.

How are these the best stills
How are these the best stills they could get from the security cameras? Who could identify anyone from this? This could be my girlfriend for all I know looking at a picture mid sneeze and I wouldn't recognize her. Does the mbta record these with Real Player?
Death Penalty Advocate Here (Bus Driver Harassment Division)
Sorry, as the son of a T bus driver, this person should be beaten and put in stocks.
That's it.
Leave the T Drivers Alone. You Are Not Special. Your $1.70 to $2.40 Does Not Mean You Are In Charge. Sit Your Arse Down. Get Off At Your Stop. Go Back To Your Hole And Pet Your Rat. Once Again, Leave the T Drivers Alone.

Unless someone needs the bike rack.
Can we just make her ride a bike ...
Around Sullivan Square for an hour? Situation will remedy itself.
Ok but hear me out
Pet rats are a-ok. The rest of your rant is spot on.
(also bringing back stocks would solve a lot of these weird harassment problems.)

Do the Transit Police enforce these rules?
Fare Evasion, Mandatory masks, No smoking, No drug dealing, if the police won't enforce the rules why do bus drivers have to enforce the rules?
Did you notice ...
Who posted the photos? So, yeah, Transit Police care about these rules.
Magoo sez
Magoo is ascared of this person. Magoo needs to meditate to become not ascared. Ohummmmmmmm. Ohummmmmmmm. Better. Magoo.
What specific psychiatric malfunction...
... causes people to upvote this shit?
Magoo sez
Magoo likes to put smiles on people’s faces. Magoo calls these Magoo-smiles. Magoo’s view is that not everyone on here needs to be a crotchety cranky pants so Magoo does what Magoo does. Magoo.
OK
OK, fair snuff, my hat is off to you for that response. Not everybody’s sense of humor needs to be the same.
I never liked it
I get that others might, but I can't see how even those people aren't tired of the shtick yet. It's like when a sketch on SNL gets popular and then they run it into the ground.
Wish MBTA bus drivers could
Wish MBTA bus drivers could have more protection and easier / faster vaccination for Covid. They put up with so much shit. I thank them every time I take the bus.
It's unclear to me...
...why MA prioritizes vaccinating every cop ahead of the first teacher, transit worker or grocery worker. Yet, here we are.
Apparently if you steal
Apparently if you steal millions from taxpayers like cops did your “punishment” is cutting ahead in the vaccine line. It’s ridiculous.
Beacon Hill needs to pass a
Beacon Hill needs to pass a special law for Bus Drivers. They all get one annual free shot - punch this lady right back in her entitled, unhinged face, make an example, walk away scott free.
People act like this because there's no consequences, and when there are, they're way after the fact and not public. Any schoolteacher or child psych person will tell you delayed consequences don't work as well. And because the kind of people who attack bus drivers are children, we need to start treating them like it.
Just one punch per year? It’s
Just one punch per year? It’s only January and this driver would have already used theirs.
Some companies let you buy extra vacation
I think we could work something like that out.
