    Wow.

    Karen Klein, a school bus monitor of Greece, N.Y., depicted being verbally bullied in a video gone viral, may have the last laugh.

    By early Thursday on the fund-raising site indiegogo.com, nearly 5,300 donors had pledged more than $100,000 in a campaign called “Lets Give Karen – The bus monitor – H Klein A Vacation.”

      Alby, was it was her own fault that she was bullied?
      Maybe she should have just started punching kids.

        Well, with the 100k she can hire someone else who does the work of punching the kids for her

        Nice idea, btw.

              It's up over 177K now and it's scheduled for another month. I wouldn't be surprised to see it top over a quarter mil. Unbelievable.

                  Is tapping anything like capping?

                    More like wire-tapping.

                        I was going to donate then when I saw the total where it was and figured the woman really didn't need anymore. I'll donate the money to a cause a bit more needy at this point.

                          Yeah $290K and it's still going strong, almost tripling since I posted this last night... yeah this is enough.

                          She was only bullied, right, Rah?

                            Yeah... I don't understand why anyone donated after she reached her target. Messed up priorities I guess. At this point donating to animal shelters would do more good.

                              I think she can afford a taser and pepper spray now.
