You just [BLEEP] a kid out of your [BLEEP] Doesn't mean you're worthy of being a mother. [BLEEP] There's the other savage stalking me. [00:00:20] Stalking me again. You are so out of control, grow up. I hear you got a nasty headed baby in there. [00:00:35] >> Speaker 2: Okay, all right, they say she is a former prosecutor. Okay, so let's put it up, full mass. Hell of a story here. City leaders in Midvile, Utah are condemning this local [00:00:51] Karen following the posting of a now viral video breaking down examples of months long verbal and physical attacks. She has inflicted upon members of the community because the husband and [00:01:07] child are black according to the report, the Karen has been identified as Catherine Smith. Let's put up Tizzyent. All right, this is where we saw the footage first, okay. [00:01:26] The popular anti racism TikToker Tizzyent shared on Monday the video outlining the numerous instances of Smith terrorizing the family, right. So why is this happening? [00:01:42] Tizzy explains, here it is. >> For some backstory this couple who is interracial, they and their son are living in this neighborhood. They're very happy there. And one day back in May, a neighbor of theirs, who's a single mother, approached them and said, hey, could you possibly help me put up my security system? I got these cameras. [00:01:58] I just need help with it cuz I don't know how to do it. Husband said, sure, no problem. Happy to help you. She wanted them put up because allegedly she was having problems with a neighbor, Cathy. And while he was there putting them up, Cathy came over and looked at him and allegedly said, you chose the wrong side. [00:02:16] He didn't choose a side. He was just helping out a neighbor. But then she turned to the single mother and allegedly said, I see, you need to hire N words to do your work for you. And that was the beginning of an absolute nightmare that has been going on for [00:02:32] seven months now. >> Speaker 2: Wow, there's more. The community and elected officials, all right. The community and elected officials have expressed their outrage over the disturbing content he highlights in the six minute 34 seconds clip, [00:02:48] questioning why it has taken authority so long to arrest her. Over 100 videos documented by the mother of the targeted family using her cell phone and also home security camera system. Depicts Ms. Smith repeatedly hurling vicinities at the family's residence. [00:03:08] The woman is captured walking up to their property, fiddling with their vehicle, and sometimes in the middle of the night, driving her car to their home and parking in front of it. Multiple videos show Smith specifically targeting the couple's nine year old son, [00:03:28] whom Tizzy says lives in fear. According to the blogger. The elementary student looks outside to ensure the woman is not outside when he wants to play in his family's yard, here's more. [BLEEP] [00:03:48] [BLEEP] [00:04:05] >> Speaker 3: Allegedly, she's also chased him on several occasions. At least one of those she told them, I have Savannah cats from Africa. That's them right there. I'm going to feed you to my savannah cats. My cats are going to eat you. [00:04:21] >> Speaker 2: Wow, there's actually more. Another clip, all right. Shared in the video, filmed in June 2023, shows the mother asking her to leave her child alone. Smith refuses and instantly escalates into name calling and [00:04:40] spewing vulgarities at the pregnant mom. The angry woman acknowledges her neighbor is with child, even saying the baby in her stomach has nappy hair. Before poking the mother in the stomach, here it is. [00:04:58] >> Speaker 1: Do not say, please call the cops. Do not talk to the kids. >> Speaker 1: You keep your [BLEEP] illegal dog on your on a [BLEEP] leash. >> Speaker 1: Do not talk to my kids. Do you understand? >> Speaker 1: I don't even know if you have more than one kid. [00:05:14] >> Really? >> Speaker 1: But you want to know something? I don't talk to your kids. So get the [BLEEP] out of my face. >> Speaker 1: Do not say [BLEEP] to the kids, do not. >> Speaker 1: Mama bear you, mama bear. Just cuz [BLEEP] you just [BLEEP] a kid out of your doesn't mean [00:05:33] you're worthy of being a mother. >> Speaker 1: Touch me, the kids can be outside and there's no reason that you talk to them. They're down by your house. They are not by your house. There's no reason. >> Speaker 1: [CROSSTALK] >> Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? [00:05:48] Do not walk towards the kids. Do not talk to them. >> Speaker 1: It's a free country. Out of my free fucking. Yes, it is. And your fat ass is [BLEEP] up, baby out of there. >> Speaker 2: Yeah, here we go, there's more. [00:06:07] There is no video of the assault, but it is said that Smith was charged with assault and a warrant was issued for her as per police record. Smith is charged with assault for allegedly forcibly poking and [00:06:24] pushing with both hands the victim's stomach. It was also noted multiple warrants had been issued for Smith for various offenses, including speeding, failing to register an expired vehicle, property damage, and assault. [00:06:39] One offense she was charged with happened in July. Smith was charged with property damage, allegedly ripping up the family's garden at their home. At the time of this writing, it is unknown if any of the warrants have actually been executed. [00:06:57] The TikTok influencer claims the unified police department, who has been called at least twice, informed the family that the reason for not detaining her was her First Amendment right to free speech. [00:07:12] He also searched that despite this, her hate speech constitutes a crime and he believes she should be arrested. The family has secured, however, an attorney to help them navigate the pursuit of justice. [00:07:28] All right, this is a response from local and state leaders. So the city itself released a statement after seeing the TikTok video sent to them by McWhorter's office and multiple constituents after condemning her behavior, calling it disgusting. [00:07:49] The city distanced itself from Smith, perhaps because McWhorter said she is a former prosecutor. Quote, Catherine Smith, the person in the video, has never worked for Midvale City. We would never tolerate this behavior by an employee, the statement said. [00:08:07] Let's put up these two gentlemen full mass. So the city's mayor is Marcus Stevenson. He's on the left, released a statement on the social saying, quote. It's hard to describe how disgusted I feel learning that one of our Midvale families is living in a situation where they are dealing [00:08:27] with regular racist tirades and feeling their safety is at risk. Stating he is working with city management and the police department to bring justice to the family. City Councilman Bryant Brown on the right said, according to Fox 13, quote, I'm mortified for the family. I'm embarrassed it is happening. [00:08:43] There are no excuses. I will get to the bottom of it. Even the state democratic representative Andrew Stoddard tweeted his denouncement, declaring he, too, is working with officials to resolve the situation. [00:09:02] Very thankful there's a unified front here. Everybody is saying the exact same thing. We will bring you an update when the update comes. Big ups to Tizzyent for doing a great job reporting this story initially, professor, thoughts here. [00:09:19] >> Usually when we the Karen segments here, it's kind of a snippet, some decontextualized thing. You don't know the story around it. And this is clearly not that. This is a sustained pattern of horrible behavior and criminal behavior. [00:09:34] And I think when it's criminal behavior, it should be prosecuted criminally. And so what she's doing is pretty clearly harassment. And I agree with you. It's good to see the system around it. But if it is true she is a prosecutor, it's also a little terrifying [00:09:50] that somebody with these kind of attitudes was responsible for making decisions about incarceration and things like that. There's a lot to this story, and I'm glad you're gonna follow it. >> Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.
