Woman calls police on black kid selling water in viral video
- 6 years ago
SAN FRANCISCO — Permit Patty is the latest white person to cry cop over black folks doing the most mundane things.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the subject of her outrage was 8-year-old Jordan Austin, who on Saturday was selling bottled water outside her San Francisco apartment to help finance a trip to Disneyland.
Patty, whose real name is Alison Ettel, got ticked off that the girl was shouting loudly and disturbing her work, so she stormed down and called her out for illegally selling without a permit.
When the child's mother intervened and argued with Ettel, she threatened to call the police, prompting mom to pull out her own phone and record the incident.
In a video posted on Instagram, Ettel can be seen ducking behind a structure with a phone to her ear, but is followed and confronted by the elder Austin's camera.
Once the post went viral with over a million views, karma came swiftly for Permit Patty. Internet sleuths found out she ran a company that made cannabis products for pets. So on top of getting hate online, she's also suffering financial repercussions, with several business associates cutting ties.
Permit Patty later told the Huffington Post she only pretended to call the cops, and now feels "discriminated against"' Oh please.
Little Jordan, meanwhile, might be retiring her cooler after a kind soul heard about her story and sent four tickets to Disneyland as a gift.
