White Woman Calls Police After Patio Disagreement With Black Couple in NJ | NBC New York

A caught-on-camera dispute between neighbors over work being done at a northern New Jersey home this week sparked a brief anti-racism protest march after video of the confrontation gained widespread attention on social media.

Fareed and Norrinda Hayat, who are Black, say they were confronted by a white woman outside their Montclair home on Monday about noon. They say the woman -- who they identified in a video as "Susan" -- had asked them repeatedly about whether they had a permit to build a stone patio in their backyard.

"She kept asking, 'Where's your permit? Where's your permit," said Norrinda Hayat, who on Wednesday noted that she didn't know the woman's name before this week.

Stop being nice to people who mean you harm. PRESS charges.

[LesiaMatt]

I would have pressed charges, because this needs to stop

[j_demus]

Two attorneys? That success is killing her

[kiaj.d.]

She's upset because they are a successful black couple in "her" neighborhood.

[hamfistsman]

People who call cops for stupid stuff should receive a bill.

[richardstephens]

I wish he would have pressed charges against "Patio Karen".

[alexsp]

You know when someone is an insane racist... she even hated the color of their house.

[MrDFJohnson]

They dont need charges filed by the victims. The Police could have arrested her on the spot for filing a false report and lying to the cops. That's what they do to black people so why does she get a pass?

[rubyw]

This will never stop until we start pressing charges. Stop letting people like her get away with harrassment.

[googleservice]

He should of press chargers this isn't the first time she's been a problem.

[jadeinthewoods]

Always press charges. It’s important that people like this face the consequences of their behavior, so that they can learn from that experience and grow as a person. If you allow them to get away with it, you teach them nothing and the harassment never stop.

[wiesbadengera]

Police need to start pressing charges on these silly fools who cry wolf.

[indiaannarie]

She accused him of touching her yet he refused to press charges for false claims against him? Stop being so damn forgiving to these people!!!smdh!!

[waykool]

Why does she care, who cares this much about someone else’s home

[steveholder]

@1:15 Susan: "he pushed me ten feet!"
Objective neighbor: "Sounds like he didn't do that"
😂😂

[steviebruno]

This is like the same situation that happened in NY park. Racism never take a day off.

[DeepThought]

I would have went ahead and press charges for a false call that the cops ask if they wanted to do that.

[Oneforall]

Imagine caring about what someone else is doing with their money in their backyard 😂 dear god.

[paulparis]

This couple has so much class, I am so angry that they didn’t press charges....but that what makes them better then “Karen”

[keishalogan]

PRESS I dont understand why they would not! She had ZERO problems calling the cops on him!
