Yes, it absolutely does. She's wearing a KOA shirt, the CG is a franchise of KOA, so yes, she's representing KOA.

KOA is the Super 8 of CGs. Some are just excellent. Some are nothing but dumps with rude employees. If KOA as a company doesn't mind a poor reputation because they don't have a consistent set of standards, that's on them.

“No one” means zero.

Doesn’t take much searching to find that there’s gun crime in Canada too. It’s cited on .ca websites, along with the fact that it’s been on the rise recently, enough so to get the government’s attention and create initiatives to combat it. Yep, it’s less than in the US, but it’s not nonexistent.

There’s also racism in Canada too. Doesn’t take much searching to find that either.

She is lucky she did not shoot herself. I like KOA and I am sure this will get resolved properly.

While what this woman did was wrong and stupid,maybe you need to look at some statistics on who commits most of the murders in this country and that blacks are 9 times more likely to be killed by other blacks. Why you would even post something like this is beyond me.

Why you would post this is beyond me.

The woman was the manager and has been fired according to a news report. I`m sure there is more to follow.

Adding racism and guns sure puts a different spin on being told to leave private property you had no right to be on. Private parks generally have no shortage of "guests must register in office" and "registered guests only" signs. Other than the trespasser's word (and that is what they would be if the ignored such signage and entered anyway) I fail to see a single speck of corroboration the entire story is true. Wouldn't be the first time a false narrative was used to promote someone's position is it Mr. Smollett.

The couple claim they had permission from the KOA office, but there's no corroboration in the article.

"The black couple explained to the armed woman they were told by the camp’s office that they didn’t need a reservation to use Oktibbeha County Lake."

Where is Paul Harvey when you need him? I think we need to hear... the rest of the story.
