[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally agree, PP.  Folks are calling the black birder in Central Park threatening for offering treats to a dog, but are bending over backwards to say that this guy was NOT threatening.  SMH.[/quote]

[/b]People have said that what he did is not criminal.  That's different.[b]  And I haven't seen anyone hear say that the birder was acting in a threatening manner.  You are inventing straw men.[/quote]

You're kidding right.

Every other sentence in that thread is 'she felt threatened!' Meanwhile the only thing he did was ask [i]her[/i] to back away and offered her dog treats. Someone even said the treats could be poisoned! Hypocrites.

I was referring to this thread.  I haven't seen anyone in this thread criticize the birder.  You have no particular reason to believe anyone comment in this thread has made comments in the other.[/quote]

Of course she felt threatened.  He was screaming at her and calling her names. GTFOH.[/quote]

Where did I say she didn't feel threatened?  What I said is that what he did may not be criminal.  Very different things.

Before you tell someone to GTFOH, you should bone up on your critical reading skills.[/quote]

I'm not even sure which incident you're talking about anymore. In the birder incident, there was no reason for the woman to feel threatened.  The guy asked in a calm way and never raised his voice.  In Bethesda, the guy was screaming and calling her names.  VERY DIFFERENT. [/quote]
