Karen's horrible seven-word blast at pregnant street vendor after attacking her on exclusive block
A California woman was arrested after lambasting a pregnant woman and allegedly assaulting her over a row about selling treats on her street. 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.

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.
