Obese, breathy Karen shows up ready for war, decked out in broiling plate body armor
A Karen commando who almost definitely has obstructive sleep apnea turned up armed to the teeth, ready to bring the pain to the Nazis, wearing an ad hoc body armor setup consisting of a broiling plate hanging around her gigantic neck.

Of course, one could go the low-hanging fruit route and make a joke about what looks to be this lady’s very unhealthy relationship with food — but that would be crass.
“Anti-ICE Karens Gone Wild!” is a highbrow serial, and we’re better than that.

Instead of discussing her apparent eating disorder, let’s focus on how out of breath she seems delivering her speech about “taking up space” — which she does very well, so credit where it’s due — to stand up for persecuted BIPOC migrants or whatever: “It’s about time. Because people of color have been screaming about this for… we can’t even count the years of how long!”
We can’t even count the years!
I don’t know why these people, of all people, think they’re going to wage a successful war on the federal government.
I could respect the chutzpah more if it were only mostly, rather than totally, delusional.
Militia guys aren’t going to be winning any wars against the federal government, either, because, as Joe Biden once quipped, they don’t have F-15s.
But they at least make the effort at minimal infantry competence. They train; they carry real weapons; they don’t turn kitchen appliances into body armor.

The tension is so thick in the air as to be palpable through the screen.
It’s the same energy as an unarmed man walking through the forest who happens upon a pack of feral animals and finds himself walking on eggshells, not making any sudden movements, hoping to not set them off, which he knows could happen at any moment.
These are wild animals; when they smell blood, there’s no restraining their instincts.

Even though this random besieged guy is under no obligation to cooperate with these people and would arguably be justified — morally, if not legally — in giving them the Renee Good treatment and shooting them in their stupid faces for menacing him, he nonetheless acquiesces to their hostile interrogation.

After he opens up his trunk to show his camera equipment, the conclusion the Karen street tribunal reaches is that this highly suspicious middle-aged, well-mannered white man is not, in fact, an ICE agent.
He even voices his explicit support for the cause.
Yet they’re still not satisfied, and berate him for driving the wrong kind of car that looks like it might be an ICE vehicle and, reading between the lines, for the heinous crime of being a white man — in other words, Satan incarnate.
