The Amy Cooper incident has really triggered the non-liberals on this thread. It truly is fascinating. The whole taped interaction has been dissected to death on this thread with the right-wingers heavily invested in denying that Amy was using any white privilege and stating or implying that the black birdwatcher was the problem.

Even the poor dog, that was so clearly mistreated that it was RECLAIMED by the rescue she got him from, apparently was "uncomfortable" and "only choking for 3-4 seconds" according to conservatives. Fox News has rewired your brains or something. I can't think of another explanation.

I had the same thought.

White woman gets in trouble for being a racist - 87 pages.

Black man DIES - 51 pages.

2/3 of this post are people trying to say he has a part to play in the situation. If people (person?) would just admit he was wrong to bait her, this would be over and done with.

There is no doubt who is in the wrong on the other post.

Yes. This thread would be a lot shorter if there weren't so many people trying to blame the black victim for baiting and setting up the white racist to victimize him.

It is so disheartening the lengths that people will go, to shift the blame to victims.

The woman caused the entire problem by first not leashing her dog in a protected bird habitat and second, when asked politely, refusing and arguing about being called out for being an a$$hole. Everything after that was a direct cause of her actions. She was given a second chance to either put the leash on or leave, but she had to argue that she had a right to break the law.Sorry, but she was the instigator and 100% to blame for everything that happened after that. PERIOD.

Exactly.

He is not the police or a person in authority. He can ask, she can decline. It is a public park. She had as much right to be there as he did. They both handled it poorly. He could have walked away and come back in an hour.

He should be charged with attempted kidnapping of the dog.

Yes, from 25 feet away, he was trying to kidnap her dog. Right. Some of you dog owners are just complete loons.

He is the aggressor both then and later. There was clearly a longer conversation where he also tells her to go to another part of the park. He wanted that park to himself and he threatened a woman to get it. Faced with that guy, I would have been intimidated. Too bad SHE didn’t think to whip out HER phone.

You need to just stop. He didn't "want the park to himself," he wanted it for the birds he was trying to protect. There was indeed another section of the park where she could have had her dog unleashed. Stop with the lies and insinuations already.

He wanted her out of that section and said so. Right at the first. He’s no hero.

He wanted her unleashed dog out of that section. Many people who value nature in general, birds more specifically, or, you know, compliance to the laws and rules that enhance life in society, would regard him as a hero. Or at least as someone appropriately encouraging compliance with accepted standards of behavior.b

But you already know that.

Exactly.

The racist trash posters are still trying to defect and place blame on him.

HE DID NOTHING WRONG. PERIOD.

False equivalence.

He was fine. She was horrible.

He didn’t want that damn dog. New flash, you may be obsessed with your filthy animal but literally no one else is.

What happened to Henry the dog? Any updates? Did he get adopted by a rich central park penthouse socialite and is now laughing as he eats his doggie caviar and has a dog massage?

Then why was he carrying treats and trying to get the dog to come to him per his comments? That is not normal behavior.

Yes, he did. They were both equally to blame. He should have come back later or called the police to deal with hit. Not, provoke her into a screaming match, recording it and sending it to his sister to post online. That is not adult behavior.

Why is it ok for him to call the dog over and give it treats? This is his words, not hers? I don't own a dog.

If this were a child would it be ok?

He explained it. When you offer treats, pet owners who are scofflaws and ignoring the leash laws will typically restrain their pets as they should have in the first place in order to keep the dog from going for the treat. It basically gets the dog owners to do what they should have been doing in the first place, restrain their pets.

The Post is such a rag. Her former boyfriend asked her to lend him money which she did. He didn’t pay it back and further lied to her about his marriage status. And rather meanly. She had poor judgement with that guy ( who has a bad reputation of his own) and she got burned.
I wouldn’t want to BE her for sure. And I also would have returned the dog. That would have been enough for me.

Nice try. And when you try to lure my kid with candy you are just trying to make sure I’m really watching them pervert?

Is that nutcase seriously still here trying to argue that the woman had just as much of a right to be there with her dog off leash in a leash-only bird watching zone as the man actually... you know... bird watching??

A DOG IS NOT A CHILD! Not even vaguely close on ANY planet.
