What It's Like to Encounter a 'Karen'

Dora Mekouar

   When two strangers walking by stopped to accuse James "Jaime" Juanillo
   of defacing private property, the San Francisco manimmediatelytook a
   defensive posture.He started recording the encounter, which eventually
   went viral, garnering more than 23 million views.

   "I came up recording not because I thought there was a potential for a
   viral video, but because I believed that I was going to need to prove
   my innocence, that they were going to accuse me of a crime," says
   Juanillo, 50, a Filipino American.
