Poachers and trespassers try this all the time. My uncle owns several acres in the north Louisiana countryside that backs up to some wetlands. At least a couple of times a year he has to shew these idiots out of his own blinds. They always say the same thing; "What are you doing on MY LAND?!" At which point he points out the markings on just about every man-made object in sight and informs them that they aren't just random letters, they're the initials of his security company. They usually don't hang around too long after that.

[@JPTulo]

I used to take off from a park near my house. Kids would line up along the fence line before I took off and would swamp me after landing. Neighbors walking their dogs would stop and chat me up. Someone made a post about how cool it was on the Nextdoor app, and then one person wrote “is this really the kind of behavior we want to be exposing our children to?!?” Like I was selling drugs in the park or something. 99 people can love it, but it only takes one person to ruin it for everyone. The actions of that one person resulted in the police requesting I don’t fly there anymore. And because I was trying to do the right thing, I agreed.

[@FreshTillDeath56]

You are a bad example for US kids. US kids should sit at home silent, sit in school silent, go out of school silent, work silent, live silent. Just tell this one person YES! We want our kids to expose to the world. To reality and not put them in a coffin. We want them to see the world as it is and not some fancy pink sweet pseudo world which is not reality. We want them to live, to make their own experiences, to be allowed to make failures and hurt themselves! We want them to see when they hurt and when they do good. How else should they learn? We expose our kids to the horrors of war, of genocide, of COVID of what happens when you don't be cautious in traffic and on the street. How else should they learn what it means to be HUMAN?

I owned acreage for 6 yrs before I built on it. Neighbors use to call the police and say I was trespassing, and on the weekends when we'd have get togethers, they'd make up stuff just to get firetrucks/police to show up. I found out later, the "neighbors" that were calling on me was the same people I bought the land from. After I built on the property, the city inspector kept sending me letters and pics of my backyard with my trailers and trying to say I was breaking an ordinance. I got an attorney, and the letters stopped. My attorney said they were violating my 4th amendment rights and that you couldn't even see my house from a public street, so no way they could see the back. The ordinance clearly stated "must be seen from public access." Also the ordinance didn't apply to personal property registered in my name. The inspector also claimed I was in violation for my fence since he found no permit was pulled. My attorney asked if was going to charge my neighbor, who is on the city council and my ward rep, for the failure to pull a permit since he was the one that put it up, and the inspector was dumbfounded and immediately dropped the whole thing. The pics, and all info was taken from my neighbors back yard looking over the fence acres away from his house and over 1000ft from public access. I knew then my city council neighbors were Karen's. They are control freaks and since then I have gotten to know other neighbors that all dislike them. You never know people till you know them.

There's always Karens everywhere. I'm a drone pilot with a part 107 and COAs to fly when/where others can't without authorization. I can't even count how many times I've had the cops called on me or a Karen come up to me and start screaming. I even had to file for a restraining order on one guy because he would follow me around park to park almost daily to harass me.

In my experience, in all walks of life, it is the people who know they least who say the most and speak the loudest.

We went through the same problems here in Australia when ultralight started. As we were limited to flying no lower than 300 feet and no higher than 500, running two stroke engines still in the infancy of flying with loud exhausts, it kicked us out of many flying fields. Karen’s with all sort of excuses such as scaring the horses, spying on them and just being anywhere near their houses ruined it all. Today, a $7500 ultralight is now in the range of $50,000 and has the full freedom to go anywhere except low flying it has killed the sport and turned it into lower cost general aviation. We live by regulations. My one suggestion is to focus on reducing the noise footprint. Being a slow aircraft you are in the area for an extended time and it is noticeable. Unless you can improve the silencing or as many are doing here going to four stroke, it is a matter of time before more infringements of your flying will happen. We regret we didn’t do something earlier.

I can imagine this happening. I fly large commercial drones for personal entertainment. Every time I fly in public, someone calls the police. No matter where I am in public, this happens. I have learned to launch from a secluded area and fly to my point of interest. Dont fly directly back to my landing area, but take a path that is hard to follow from the ground and leave quickly.

[@tommurchi6552]

Unhappy, ill-informed & scared people is an unfortunate reality for the sport. Knowing the law and consideration works 99% of the time in my encounters with Karens. What I find especially problematic is public airports denying PPGs access (which is against FAA regs) and this often has us in the sport utilizing parks more often and more likely to encounter a Karen.

The excuse of a lawsuit is silly, you can sue anyone for anything. If I walk at that park, trip and break my arm, I can sue the town. What if I catch a soccer ball with my face and break my nose? ...I guess we can thank the sue happy Karen's of the world. They're even the reason public pools don't have diving boards anymore.

[@sstrange1973]

The problem isn't that people are sue happy. It's because many in authority have been brainwashed by silly stories in the media that everyone is looking to sue over the silliest of circumstances. The lawsuit is normally not the problem, but the cost of the lawyers is - therefore many just want to eliminate the threat of a lawsuit altogether. And then there is no more fun. When was the last time you were at a pool with a diving board?

[@video80634]

Whenever someone like a Deputy Mayor takes it upon themselves to handle their own crisis is abuse of power and/or authority (especially when they throw out their title like he did). On top of that, he's making the rules on the fly (pun intended), nonetheless what an embarrassment. Do people walking dogs need permission? How about joggers? Or the 10 year old flying a kite? I'll bet he lives across the street and protects the park as if he owns it himself. Definitely a Karen for sure.

[@a64738]

One of the best way to deal with Karens is to not deal with them and ignore them if possible and if not possible say something like you are calling the police to have THEM removed, they thrive on getting attention as it makes their bloted ego inflate as it gives them a feeling if being important ... By dealing with them you just feed their ego even more.

[@Knight_Astolfo]

Dude, if you let them walk all over you, they will. You probably make enough to secure a really good bulldog lawyer - when some idiot makes a threat like that, don't stand for it. Make it a painful civil litigation learning experience; an explanation, an apology, one dollar, and court fees should be an effective lesson. Take a cue from the First Amendment Auditing community (the good ones - there are some real tools out there, check out Audit the Audit) and do not comply out of deference, but stand up for your rights in accordance with the laws of our land and the locality. That rat of a dep. mayor (or assistant to the chief scrote fluffer, or whoever - who cares - a feckless and conceited bureaucrat) can't just summarily kick you out, either. WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY, DAMN IT

[@d1grizz]

I think the problem is that it's NJ/North East. The North East has the highest concentration of Karen's in the US. I've lived in the Midwest the south, and in the north east, even NJ. By far I encounter a particular bad attitude, Karenish attitude in the north east more than anywhere. You have been around much of the country. Do you encounter Karen's when you are away from home?

I feel bad for any nice person who has the unfortunate name of Karen. Memes about unreasonably angry people and internet culture completely ruined their name. The funny thing is, I don't think anyone of the people who were filmed being unreasonable and spawned this phenomenon were actually named Karen. It all seemed to start with Jennifer Schulte who called the police on the harmless BBQ in an Oakland park. Why aren't they called Jennys? haha

I’ve been similarly hassled while hunting and fishing. I’m also an LEO, so I make it a point to follow the law. Hassling hunters has to be the DUMBEST move anyone can make; the person you are confronting is armed, guaranteed. Doesn’t stop some people. They really believe this is their world and we just live in it. If Karen is willing to confront me while I’m open carrying multiple firearms, you’d better believe they will confront a paramotor pilot. With my temperament, these confrontations would go very differently. Not saying you’re wrong for how you handle things, but I happen to skin the cat a different way. There is nothing more satisfying than verbally demolishing a nosy Karen and sending them on their way while you go about your business.

Tucker, remember that aviation needs ambassadors, not adversaries. You may be in the right, but airports by the thousands across this country have been shut down by people in the wrong.
