I posted about this disgraceful shitshow yesterday, and look what our lovely internet did for 68 year-old Karen Klein!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, ERRYBODY!
UPDATE: $275K raised already!
This is a repost:
I’m not sure if this has already been brought to everyone’s attention or not, but here is the deal:

Above is a video of a 68-year-old bus monitor named Karen Klein being verbally harassed by a group of middle schoolers on their way home from Athena Middle School in Greece, New York. Throughout the ten minute video, you can hear the kids verbally berate the woman, calling her a bitch, fatass, poor, ugly, and various other words of the like. At one point in the video, you can hear one of the kids yell, “You’re so fuckin poor you fat ass,” in which Karen responds, “I try to live by some of these words, I try and it’s really hard,” referring to the words on her purse. Now, I don’t know about you, but that broke my fucking heart. There’s even a point in the video where one of the kids touches Karen’s arm in an attempt to make fun of her. I’m not sure why these kids would want to bully a senior citizen to tears, but I feel we should do something, or at least try.
She doesn’t earn nearly enough ($15,506) to deal with some of the trash she is surrounded by. Lets give her something she will never forget, a vacation of a lifetime!

What a fucking disgrace. I couldn’t even make it past the 25 second mark of that appalling video. Signal boost, because Karen Klein deserves a little internet - and real world - justice.
