Karen Inman, 39, has been arrested by officers from the Mountain View Police Department in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California, United States. The woman, a transient, was charged with petty theft, robbery and two counts of violation of civil rights by force or threat.

Inman allegedly took food and clothing items from a store in Mountain View on February 13, 2021 and refused to pay. She allegedly told the owners of the store that she did not have to pay because of they are Asian.

After a few minutes, Mountain View police officers found Inman. While they were interviewing her, they were informed about another report about a woman matching her description who had yelled at two patrons at a diner near the store where she tried to shoplift.

One of the patrons is an Asian man. Inman allegedly yelled racial epithets at the diner and spat in his direction.

The victims of both the theft and of the battery did not press charges. Inman was released because the officers did not witness the crimes.

Still, the Mountain View Police Department went on with the investigation and brought the case to the District Attorney’s Office. After reviewing the case, the office established that hate crime charges could be brought against Inman.

“This case is both disheartening and disturbing,” Mountain View Police Department chief Chris Hsiung stated. “Mountain View is a vibrant community in many ways thanks to the diversity that exists here. Hate crimes have not and will not be tolerated in Mountain View and as this case demonstrates, we take these crimes seriously and will investigate them to the fullest extent.”

At around 11:00 a.m. on March 5, 2021, Inman tried to steal candy and ice cream from a Smart and Final in Mountain View. That day, she was arrested and booked into the Santa Clara County Jail in San Jose, Santa Clara County, California.

I feel like the headline is more exciting than the story itself. The story itself is bizarre. The perpetrator is described as a transient, so I’m assuming a mental illness + homeless combo. She was arrested and then released. None of the victims wanted to press charges. Like what’s the point of this article other than to continue with these Asian hate crimes stories that the media is obsessed with.

a homeless criminal in california?

im sure karen will get a very stern 'dont do that again' followed by a finger wagging.

theft charges? thats a misdemeanor in california unless she stole more than $950 thanks to their law change 2 years ago.

she's already back out on the street, im sure.

What a horrifying mugshot. Probably a drug addict.

I remembered last year the NYPD or whatever made a hotline for Asian American hate crimes, I believe a lot of fonts pointed out that they never did anything like that for African Americans/black people.

Not sure if it's relevant to your post, I just thought of that thread when you mentioned that.

Clearly a mentally ill drug addict. You can just see it in the face. Probably homeless too considering she was stealing food. This case in particular shows why California and the country in general needs to do something about the problem with homelessness. It's insane to me that crazy people in the richest country of all time are just allowed to roam the streets and no effort is made to help them or to prevent ordinary people from becoming victims of whatever they end up doing. It would be tax dollars well spent for all involved.
