[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This story has been bothering me. First I feel fury over unleashed dogs and the behavior of a. Cooper behavior sounds awful. However, it also seems like C Cooper was spoiling for a fight. Sounds like the guy is sick and tired of it and has developed his own tactics that leave a lot to be desired. For example, saying “you won’t like what I’m going to do” while trying to call the dog away from her, was clearly designed to upset or even frighten. He says as much in his post. I do wonder if this guy would have behaved the same way to another large guy in the park or if A Cooper seemed like a safe enough target for his lesson. Either way he scolds her, she ignores him, he persists, she does too, then the next thing you know he’s making a weird threat that I would definitely think was basically “I’ll give your dog treats to get it to me then steal it”. I mean, again he posts himself that he carried treats for that very reason, basically that dog owners freak out and leash the dog. So as a PP said, it was only a matter of time until someone reacted poorly. So this woman then proceeds to show her true colors and leverage the “scary black man” / while woman power play. Weather frightened or not, she did that, and it’s hard to believe she was that frightened if she was walking toward him at one point (with her dog at hand) and also not running like hell to get away. I think she was outraged that he scolded her and fearful that he was going to dog-nap her dog. Then there is the mob justice and doxxing her, which I don’t like for any reason but here it happened without even acknowledging that maybe — just maybe — this bird watcher was being an asshole and then she saw his asshole and raised it by an awful, racist and dangerous response. Someone else might have just punched him in the face. Countless others no doubt walked or ran away in the past. I’m not sure what anyone had gained through this story though. Then his sister using the term “Karen” which is just divisive - intentionally so.

I can’t find any heroes in this story. [/quote]

You are also a White person who is struggling to reconcile your racist wiring with the evidence of the video.  How do you sleep at night?[/quote]

PP here for first time since last night.

How do I sleep at night? Lately just awful. The world is on fire and we have a garbage president and it’s harder and harder to find decent people. Am I someone who struggles with reconciling racist wiring? Yes. All white people are to some extent. Do I also strive to be anti racist? Yes, I do that too. I do not in any way believe his behavior justified her. But let me ask you to examine your heart of hearts. If you heard this story and the roles were reversed and it was a large white guy and a small black woman in the same roles, and white guy tells her to leash her dog or she won’t like what he does and calls the dog over to him, that you would think the black girl had every right to feel intimidated?

A Cooper showed her stripes. She’s paying for it. I don’t like mob mentality but the behavior was indefensible and she’s hardly a sympathetic character. Also C Cooper has every right to scold her, and bait her I guess and even video her. He explicitly says on his own twitter and then in an interview that he carries the dog treats to frighten people into leashing their dogs. He says you won’t like what I’ll do and tried calling the dog over. How the heck does anyone not see that as creepy AF? Like dude is threatening some vague harm will come to Fido.

I hate racism more than I hate obnoxious behavior and men who belittle and intimidate women but both things were on display here. Again I’m not defending her actions even slightly. But all this celebration of this guys bad behavior and boasting about it baffles me. [/quote]
