San Francisco Lawmakers Introduce ‘CAREN’ Act
8th July 2020
The Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies (CAREN) Act would make it “illegal for people to contact law enforcement solely to discriminate on the basis of a person’s race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity,” according to USA Today. Individuals who are victimized by the calls would reportedly be allowed to sue the caller for damages up to $1,000 dollars.
I wonder whether it would apply to ‘noose’ and other race hoaxes.

Had to check if it was Babylonbee or Onion. To my surprise, it’s real. The CAREN (pronounced Karen) Act.

Which I’m sure was deliberately chosen and then backfilled so that the title wouldn’t sound excessively silly.
Legislators love to pick their acronyms. Our tax dollars (or somebody’s tax dollars) at work.

And to think they used to just waste our tax money on hookers and coke.
