Horror at the Mall
Some are calling this Victoria's Secret Karen. But I first thought it was like something out of an alien horror movie. Like They Live or Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The alien recognizes the human and gets angry, panics, etc.
Go to the youtube link for the rest of the videos. Cops show up. The obvious happens. But this story will continue.

why did she start video taping her in the first place. sounded like she was saying the woman started placing clothes to look at too close to her? I didn't catch it.

I don't exactly know what started this mess. I think they were shopping and this Karen as they call them now didn't want to wait or something. I think most civilized people would take that chance to start a conversation. Or just look for another item. This Karen decided to attack and then the other lady started filming so she could have proof. That's the power of the camera. To out bad behavior that these Karens would normally just lie about.

You may be right. The way I saw this string of videos is, the 'karen' lady did something the woman with the camera-phone thought was inconsiderate, and then started videotaping her. The 'karen' lady had an extremly horrible reaction to being video taped, and begged the camera woman to please stop videotaping her, even laying on the floor motionless and silent. The camera lady displayed no compassion to the 'karen' lady who obviously has some serious developmental problems.
Am I saying the camera lady has to take inconsiderateness from this woman with developmental problems? No. I'm sure she could have maturely asserted her rights in a firm and kind way. Did the camera lady have to be so cold as to torment the lesser woman begging her to stop? I really don't think so. I thought they both showed themselves immature and without compassion. One had much less ability to act properly than the other.

We should come up with a name for cell phone people. They are the worst.

Whatever happened should not have turned into assault which is what the Karen did. So it's a good thing the other woman had the camera to record what was about to happen.
The Karen then proceeded to act like she was wronged somehow. The other woman mentions how the Karen wanted to call security on her. It's all basic Karen behavior but caught on camera which we usually don't see.
That Karen's name is all over the Internet and news sites because of her stupidity. I still haven't read a clear story of what started it. But whatever the case the woman who recorded the incident is somehow above $100,000 on a gofundme site for legal fees. So I guess this Karen, the cops, and the store might get sued. Here is a story.
Even one of the reviewers I check on occasion for horror stuff picked up on it.

Is there a difference between a "Karen" and a crazy person? Because that woman is clearly very close to be insane.

Thinking about it a bit more if a man was the Karen, he would have been arrested and at least escorted from the mall. You can swing and miss and still be charged with assault. Seems like Karen actually connected a bit. So she's lucky the camera didn't drop or that she didn't injure the other woman because then she's looking at something even worse.
I saw a video once that I can't find that mentions how Karens got away with this stuff when they were young. And they know how to act to gain sympathy. The fall was hilarious. But it was an act for people to feel sorry for her. When it didn't work that's why she started charging at the other woman.
Karens are entitled. That's why this whole thing probably started.

I don't think she's insane at all. Look at her reaction in the seconds after the attack.
There is a wiki entry on Karen. And this Karen actually made the page.
So I guess that's something to be proud of considering all the Karen videos out there.

I disagree.
In both videos I see a woman that's not well mentally and who clearly needs help. Filming her for 5 minutes doesn't do shit. But that's the culture. Filming instead of helping.
