00:00I had to pause what I was watching because this headline just overtook me
00:07with a wave of disgust and if you don't know what this word here means then we
00:12will just continue to read through the article and I'm pretty sure most of you
00:16can derive what this is talking about so it says here in the dark corners of the
00:21internet men are goading each other to as you can see in public on female
00:30shoppers and then posting the footage and this comes a few months after the
00:34whole Academy to teach them how to commit great the asko because I don't want to
00:44get flagged on any of these platforms I have to be really careful about how I
00:47present this but as you can see this article contains graphic descriptions of
00:50SA so it says the woman known in court papers as MR never much liked going to
00:56dollar stores she found them cluttered chaotic with too few staff on duty and
01:00too many strange people roaming the aisle for comfort but one trip in early
01:07December 2023 she went anyway because she was planning a promotional photo shoot for
01:12her doggy daycare business in Houston and wanted some cheap Christmas props so
01:17that's the premise of how she ended up in the Dollar Tree as she walked the aisles MR said in
01:22an interview
01:23she sensed the man standing close behind her she turned to confront him and noticed that he was a
01:27good six inches taller than her he was talking in graphic detail about graphic explicit things that he
01:37wanted to do with her you're so disgusting get away from me she told him and hurried off to find
01:42her
01:42friend still he stayed close and for a few 10 minutes the two of them locked eyes while she was
01:47waiting
01:48in line to pay when last he left she thought that was the end of it until back outside in
01:53the chill of the
01:53winter morning she felt something cold on the back of her leggings and it was biological fluids from the
02:00man I didn't know how to react I wanted to obviously she wanted to kill him who was 47 at
02:10the time she recalled the horror and
02:11helplessness she felt as her friend wifed her off with towels so
02:21apparently hours later on the advice of the sister who worked in law enforcement she fished her soiled
02:26leggings out of the garbage and took them back to the store to report what had happened a clerk listened
02:30to her account not seeming to realize that she understood spanish shouted to a colleague in the
02:35back room tenemos otra which means we've got another one over the next several weeks and months MR would
02:41learn not only that there had been reports of similar incidents at the same store in the same time frame
02:46one that had been shared on social media and at least one she had heard about anecdotally from shopping
02:51center employees but that doing this in front of female customers at branches of dollar tree was fast
02:57becoming a national phenomenon and a disturbing new form of essay that men were documenting and
03:02bragging about in the dark corners of the internet and even it even came with its own specialized vocabulary
03:11doing this in public surreptitiously on random women as known as tagging or sharking
03:18and i'm not going to say that word online forums praised perpetrators for being low inhibition
03:23and using con users contributing to the discussion said they wish they could summon the same
03:29fearlessness in themselves what kind of disgusting is that quote this is about trying to get a leg up
03:36on the lowest rung you can fall to how to make a dollar on people who only have a dollar
03:40dollar tree
03:42cropped up again and again as a favored location for such attacks according to research conducted by MR's
03:47lawyers and corroborated by police and media reports while perpetrators have not spelled out the
03:52reasons their choice appears connected to the same problems that made MR hesitant to shop at dollar
03:57tree in the first place and have led over the years to intense federal government scrutiny
04:01and millions of dollars in fees inadequate safety and security understaffing on the premises and
04:07disorganized aisles filled with unopened boxes that offer shoplifters and other criminals ample opportunity to
04:13get rid of the school so now we have that to worry about i'm just going to say this when
04:21bobbiting
04:22becomes more popular y'all are going to know that it was because of the rise of this kind of
04:28disgusting
04:29decrepit bullshit
04:31but he's also a showman
04:33and that would be
04:34and that would be
