Karen's horrible seven-word blast at pregnant street vendor after attacking her on exclusive block
Julie Christine Sanchez, 56, of Simi Valley - near Santa Monica - was arrested on battery charges on April 14 after she pushed a food cart vendor, Mary, who is nearly eight months pregnant, to the ground, a press release said.
Mary was selling ice cream and candy without a vendor's permit near Torrance Street and Brandon Avenue when Sanchez allegedly approached her.
'Go away!' Sanchez said with her hand on Mary's cart and holding her dog's leash with the other, a video showed. 'Go, go, go, go, go! You're not coming down this street anymore.'
Mary responded in Spanish, which angered Sanchez, who was wearing a sweatshirt that indicated she was a nurse.
'English,' she said, before lamenting: 'America. English.
'I told you not to come down to this street anymore, and I f**king meant it. You bring down my property values.'
She then began to push Mary's cart - which is filled with nuts, Ring Pops, Fruit by the Foot, and more - down the street.

Surveillance cameras showed Mary falling as Sanchez pushed her and the cart into the street.
A man can be heard yelling as Mary picked herself off the ground, to which Sanchez replied: 'I didn't mean to push her down, but she's not allowed to be on this street either.'
Sanchez lives in a predominately white area in an $850,000 home, where 63 percent of residents are white and only 27 percent are Hispanic, according to the US Census and public records.
Photos posted to GoFundMe show Mary obtained bruising on her shoulder and stomach from the alleged attack.
'No one should have to endure such violence, especially a pregnant woman who is just trying to make ends meet,' her lawyer Christian Contreras, who also started the fundraiser, wrote.
Mary has filed a civil lawsuit against Sanchez and her lawyers are calling for Simi Valley Police to charge the 56-year-old with a hate crime.
'This woman needs to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and we are going to hold her accountable in the civil court,' one of her attorneys, Humberto Guizar, said at a press conference, according to CBS.
Contreras is calling for Sanchez to be held accountable and for people like Mary to be protected.

Moment foul-mouthed Jet2 passenger is arrested on flight after squaring up to holidaymakers who cheer him off plane
SHOCKING footage has captured the moment a rowdy passenger was arrested by cops after a flight was diverted to a popular UK airport. The Jet2 flight, which took off from Leeds Bradford at 6.41pm last night, was heading for the Spanish hotspot of Alicante when it had to make a dramatic U-turn just 100 miles in. 5 Chaotic footage shows a rowdy passenger on a plane Credit: Yappapp 5 But the yob was arrested by police as the plane was forced to turn back Credit: Yappapp 5 Another clip taken through a window of the plane showed the man talking to three officers on the tarmac as one appeared to search him Credit: Yappapp The plane was flying above Leicester when a 'disruptive incident' erupted onboard involving a foul-mouthed passenger. Stunned travellers were left fuming as the flight - carrying up to 188 passengers - was delayed by around four hours after the Boeing 737 was forced to return back to Leeds Airport. Footage from onboard shows a 30-year-old man dressed in an orange T-shirt and jeans, smirking and taunting fellow passengers in the aisle. He is then seen shouting: 'Put your phone down and fight one on one.' One passenger had jumped out of their seat, while others could be heard trying to calm the situation, warning the man he'd get kicked off. The yob responded by sticking out his tongue and pounding his chest before going on a foul-mouthed rant. Another traveller tried to reason with fellow holidaymakers: 'Don't rise to it. Let him get chucked off.' Moments later, cheers erupted as uniformed cops stormed the plane at Leeds Bradford. Laughter and jeers rang out as passengers spotted officers boarding, with one saying: 'Look behind ya, lad! Look behind ya, big boy! You w****r!' The troublemaker's cocky grin was wiped clean as he spotted police heading his way. He briefly squared up to another man onboard before passengers began yelling: 'Arrest him now!' Shock moment 'drunk' pilot who 'reeked of booze' is escorted by cops from cockpit moments before takeoff The whole plane broke into applause as he was finally hauled off, with one person shouting: 'In a bit, lad!' Footage from outside the aircraft shows him being spoken to by three officers on the tarmac, with one appearing to search him. Cops confirmed to The Sun that the man was charged with entering an aircraft while drunk. He was bailed to appear before Leeds magistrates on Monday, 8 September. The passenger has also received a six-month flying ban, Jet2 confirmed. The plane was forced to stay on the ground until it eventually took off again at around 11pm, more than four hours after its scheduled departure time. A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson told The Sun: "A 30-year-old man from Doncaster has been charged with entering an aircraft while drunk. "He has been bailed to appear before Leeds magistrates on Monday, 8 September." A Jet2 spokesperson said: "We can confirm that a disruptive passenger has received a six-month flying ban with us, following their appalling behaviour which led to flight LS491 from Leeds Bradford to Alicante having to return to Leeds Bradford so that police could offload them. "As a family friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behaviour." 5 The man was arrested by police after the aircraft returns to Leeds Airport Credit: Yappapp

Man fined after creating AI naked images of former classmate
Callum Brooks, 25, altered two social media pictures posted by the woman on June 24 2022. Brooks used photoshop software to make the woman appear in a "state of undress" without her knowledge or consent. Brooks, of Glasgow's Easterhouse, claimed that there was "no sexual element" to his actions which was accepted by the Crown. READ MORE: Home Office intervention blocked as English council bids to stop housing refugees The first-time offender stated that he carried out the crime to show what the software did. Brooks pleaded guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to disclosing a photograph of the woman in an intimate situation without her consent. The case is one of the first of its kind to appear in a Scottish court. The court heard that Brooks and the woman had been friends at high school and remained in contact on social media. Prior to the crime, Brooks obtained a software application which altered images using AI. Prosecutor Katie Malcolm said: "Brooks took two images from the woman's Instagram account which she uploaded online in which she was fully clothed. "Brooks then altered the images so that they showed the woman to be in a state of undress. "One was a full length image and the other was from the waist up. "Brooks then sent the images to two friends." The hearing was told that the woman "knew nothing" about the images. She was asked by one of Brooks's friends in February 2024 about her knowledge of the images which were shown to her. Malcolm added: "She was immediately embarrassed and humiliated. "She confirmed that the images were lifelike and the matter was reported to the police." Brooks was arrested and told officers: "It was really just pettiness on the part of people - I know I shouldn't have done that, I shouldn't have done Photoshop." He stated that one of his friends requested the images while the other did not. READ MORE: UK Government backs down on demand to access US Apple user data, spy chief claims Gerry Devaney, defending, told the court that Brooks had fell out with one of his friends after the images had been sent. The lawyer added: "The friend drew the attention of the woman who was unaware of the situation and the friend showed it to her. "The intention was to show what the software did - it was fairly novel at the time and he took advantage which he much regrets. "There was no significant sexual element - this was the behaviour on the part of a boy towards people he thought were his friends and he has come to regret it." Sheriff Anna Reid fined Brooks £335.

Brit, 22, hurt in Ibiza ‘balconing' fall as tourist left with head injury at hotel at centre of Kian Harratt brawl drama
Numerous Brits have lost their lives to falls in the same town this summer HORROR PLUNGE Brit, 22, hurt in Ibiza 'balconing' fall as tourist left with head injury at hotel at centre of Kian Harratt brawl drama Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BRIT tourist, 22, has suffered serious chest and head injuries after plunging from the third floor of his hotel in the Ibiza party spot San Antonio. It is the latest in a string of freak accidents to hit the resort town this summer, which have left at least three Brits dead. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 The Brit plummeted from the third floor of Marco Polo hotel in San Antonio Credit: Solarpix 3 The fall happened at the same hotel where EFL star Kian Harratt lobbed a chair at someone in a poolside brawl in June 3 Oldham Athletic striker Kian Harratt was filmed throwing a chair at the Marco Polo hotel The horror accident happened around 8pm yesterday at the Marco Polo hotel in San Antonio. This was the same hotel which hit headlines in June when it was the backdrop for a poolside brawl involving English footballer Kian Harratt. The plunge casualty, who has not been named, was taken to Can Misses Hospital, according to police. The Civil Guard has launched an investigation into the circumstances. A spokesman said today: "A 22-year-old British tourist was rushed to hospital after falling from the third floor of a hotel in San Antonio. "He was conscious when he was taken away." A video of a poolside brawl at the hotel went viral in June, and Oldham Athletic forward Kian Harratt was been identified launching a chair into a woman. Brit holidaymaker Kyle Crawford told The Sun Oldham Athletic forward Kian Harratt and three of his pals were "being horrible" to a group of women before the clash on June 21. And two videos captured the brawl, including one which appears to show the striker - wearing black shorts and with his distinctive goatee - lob chair at one of them. Harrat later spoke out online to say he felt "very apologetic" and "terrible" that he hit the woman. But he blamed other tourists for starting the brawl and alleges a man approached his friend first and went on to "punch him". The striker then claims a chair was thrown at him which prompted him to pick it up and threw it back. But sunseeker Kyle, who was also on holiday with a group of mates in Ibiza, Spain, contested the footballer's version of events. He told The Sun: "There was four lads, we didn't know who they were, being horrible to some women." A second source caught up in the brawl told us: "It was Kian Harratt. He was bothering these girls." Kyle said Harratt and his friends were "throwing little rugby balls" at the female tourists inside the pool, one of which being the woman that was struck by a chair later on. "They were just in the pool splashing them and throwing balls at them - being proper immature," he explained. Kyle said he and his mate stepped in to stand up for the women. More to follow...
