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

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.

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?

Pets are property. Children are not. The law treats them very differently. Despite what crazy dog owners will have you believe, the law does not give any rights to your "fur babies". Control your pet or don't own your pet.

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.

It is possible to not be a racist yet recognize that he baited her just a little. It is possible to loathe Amy yet recognize that bird man baited her. He’s fine and I have no issues with him or his behavior. People can bait. He did it with the dog treat “you won’t like what I’m gonna do” thing.

Remember several pages ago when multiple posters said she wasn’t crazy—just racist?

Remember all the posts saying she would never disrespect a white man? Remember the posts that claimed she was an angel at work and her colleagues would defend her?

I told you she was an aggressive lunatic!

And, she is also racist.

Has everyone read the latest news? She went bunny boiling nutso and tried to destroy her white colleague’s life.

Do you have a link? She strikes me like uber-liberal city feminist.

Actually, there’s a NY Post article claiming she berated people for voting for Obama.

The most detailed article about her stalking of Martin Priest was in the Daily Mail, but there are tons of articles from other sources. She’s not mentally stable.

So then if this is true it makes me even more resentful of the improper stereotype Amy Cooper creates. Not all white dog-walking women are like her. Not even close. Yet I worry that black men will view me like I’m an Any/Karen. I’m not.

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.

False equivalence.

He was fine. She was horrible.

HE DID NOTHING WRONG.

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.

No, they weren’t “equally to blame” FFS.

Just stop.

That’s not “baiting”. That’d dealing effectively with the latest in a string of entitled a-holes who think they can let their dogs off-leash.

Stop deflecting and focusing on anything but the actual issue.

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

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

He wanted to stop the dog from tearing up the place and frightening the birds by distracting it. If the woman had followed the law and had it properly leashed, he wouldn’t have done it. He was being proactive and a good citizen.

It would be cool if there was a video of a white woman confronting random black guys with unleashed dogs.

That's wrong. Even though it's a public park, it has clear rules about unleashed dogs. She did not have a right to be there with her unleashed dog.

She broke the rules. He asked her to follow the rules. Instead of apologizing and leashing her dog in accordance with the rules, she argued and escalated the situation in a way that was clearly intended to harm him. There's no both sides here.

We don’t know that for sure.

Had the dog been leashed and jumping around barking, he might have been annoyed since the noise likely would have interfered with his birdwatching. He might have asked her to leave. We don’t know.

Remember several pages ago where a post suggested this woman was unhinged and likely would have behaved similarly with a white man, woman or child and everyone said that’s impossible because there’s no way she’d treat a white man with anything but respect? And then a couple days later we read about how she called the police on a white male colleague/love interest, filed police reports, and actually sued him in an effort to destroy his life. So, we now know she was prone to escalation and aggression.

Maybe he is, too? Never say never. He might have skeletons in his closet. That might be why he isn’t fanning any flames.

You are the reason people are rioting. Your absolute ignorance. Why are you questioning the man because he asked her to leash her dog? Why would you even suggest that he has a shady past? What the hell is wrong with you? You just can’t admit that the woman did a racist thing and leave it at that. She is no different than the white woman who lied that Emmett Till whistled at her and was killed for it. That woman understood her power and used it.
