Reply to comment by Rush_Is_Right in Racine auto shop gives woman free car after Kenosha dealership allegedly defaces her ID by Sandstorm400

The only thing I can think of is that she was a problem customer. Doesn’t justify it by any means, but that’s the only way it even kind of makes sense.

She is black. He is white. She chose not to buy the car which probably made him mad. Then her driver’s license with her personal information and address went viral in the snapchat video. The video has racial and misogynist overtones. This also happened in Kenosha home of the whole Rittenhouse/BLM tragedy.

Agreed. Messing with someone's ID is such a dick move. It might not be as hard now because they updated things during Covid at DOT.gov, but going into the DMV is a ruthless thing to put someone through for no reason. I found a random ID at a gas station 5 hours from home and was able to find the person on Facebook and messaged them to let them know where to find it. It took me like 3 minutes.

It's the problem customer comment.

He said it was the only thing he could think of, but it's looking like it was because she was black

Yeah, that seems like the most likely scenario.

My part was trying to clear up the commenters confusion as to the downvotes as stated by the comment above mine. They spiralled out.

Yes and? They didn't say she was a problem customer. He just said that it could be a reason they did such weird shit. Also said they don't agree with it or that it justified what happened.

Well, it's an odd thing to say when nothing even pointed to that.

So everyone asks why they would do something. Someone throws out a random well, maybe because of this. Doesn't make sense.

Except you think they would use available info. Like saying, "Maybe he is maladjusted and is a hateful little prick"

Why does she have to have done something?

No one said she did, but it's not a completely preposterous scenario. Ever worked in the service industry dealing with the general public? Surprise the general public is filled with terrible people who bitch about anything and everything. But when there's hundreds of comments asking why this happened and someone gives a scenario on why someone m8ght do something so dumb, that person shouldn't be downvoted for it.

And you got upset when I correctly identified why the comment was downvoted.

How triggered are you that your made up scenario isn't what others came up with?

Surpise people can be dicks for no other reason misdirected hate.

Maybe take a second and read what you have said to me and try to use an outside perspective.

And downvoting is to show you didn't like something. Or are you new here?

I'm not upset this is just a conversation. Why can't people just talk about something without one person saying "you're mad" or "you're triggered ". It's ridiculous. Downvoting isn't a disagree button.

I feel like you're acting in bad faith in this conversation. Clearly you don't want to have a conversation since you won't believe someone's motives

And those are your feelings. Look, I made a simple comment as to what I observed, there was no criticism implied. It was the following response that led us here.
