[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What people are also ignoring:

1) He thought he was the police and could enforce the law. What he should have done is called the police if it was so important.
2) He was luring dogs with treats (like he always does) and vaguely implied he would "do something she didn't like". He used the word "do", not "give", which implied he was using the treat to lure the dog so he could "do" something else to it. Giving treats to dogs is not a threat.
3) He wasn't wearing a mask, she was.
4) He called her a Karen, so in his heart he is likely as racist as she is.
5) He video-taped only her reaction, not his initial words. There's no telling what he said initially, aside from what he says in his Facebook post. It's against the law to record someone in NY without the second person's permission. She could rightfully sue him, not only for illegal wiretapping/recording, but for libel. He has ruined her life.
6) Luring dogs with treats does not solve the leash problem, so it is highly unlikely that he was threatening to give her dog treats. It is more probably that he wanted her to think that he was going to poison her dog, or take her dog.
7) If this was a white male, the media and court of public opinion would be on her side. A white male would have been seen as "mansplaining" the law to her, and threatening to hurt her dog.[/quote]

No, people are not ignoring anything, but you are the classic "blaming the victim" person turning facts against the victim to try and justify the abuse.

1) He made a respectful request that she follow the law by leashing her dog.  She is the one who refused to leash her dog or take the dog out of the reserved area.  Why should he call the police when a polite request might solve the problem?  She is the one who turned rabid after being asked to follow the law and leash her dog.
2) You are correct, giving treats to dogs is not a threat.  So she completely fabricated a story about him threatening her dog because she was relying on her white privilege to break the laws and did not like that a black man would dare to try and question her right to do as she wanted and flaunt the law.
3) There is no evidence whether or not he was wearing a mask.  All we know is that he was wearing a bicycle helmet.
4) He did not call her Karen.  His sister did when she posted the video on Twitter.
5) No, it is not against the law to record a person in public.  It is only illegal to record a person when the person has a reasonable expectation of privacy.  In this case, she was in a public park and the proscription against recording does not apply.  This article talks about her possible legal consequences and does not cite his recording her as a legal issue:

6) So you think it is more likely that he was carrying poison in his pocket "just in case" than that he was carrying treats to lure dogs away from the area reserved for birds.  Strange.  How many people carry poison in their pocket for a walk in the park, especially to go bird watching?  And with his sister?  He said that dogs are frequently unleashed in this area that he visits regularly and he carries treats to get people to control their dogs.  Much more likely than that he went into the park carrying poison to hunt for unleashed dogs to poison them.
7) No.  Maybe in the past, but after the case last year of the Supreme Court nomination and this year's case of the accusation against the current Democratic Presidential candidate, women, especially women who fabricate accusations of assault are being taken to task.  If she had pulled the same stunt with a white man, calling the police and accusing the man of attacking her dog and threatening and attacking him, she would have faced social repercussions.  Not quite as strong as because she introduced race.  But still she would have been publicly shamed.  Probably still would have lost her dog, maybe faced mild wrist slapping at work, but the race issue is going to cause her far more severe repercussions.

You need to stop blaming the victim and defending an indefensible racist crime.  Hopefully she does get the misdemeanor false police report that she deserves.[/quote]
