“Bet she votes D though.”
Considering she’s a lunatic, racist and lives in NYC, what else could she be?
I’ve had run ins with middle aged ladies and their unleashed dogs, including one whose chow had run up to a little boy walking to school through the park and had cornered the terrified child, barking and growling at him with hackles raised and saliva flying out of its mouth and teeth bared. I called out to the woman to get her dog and of course the dog wouldn’t obey her commands to come back to her. When she finally got it off of the child, she just let it loose again. I called out again that she needed to leash it (For one thing, it was headed towards me) and the woman let loose with a stream of obscenities directed at me. I couldn’t believe it and it was only when I took out my phone that she got the dog on its leash.
These women are nuts. Better she should be a cat lady, but I think they actually like the feeling of having a vicious dog, since in my town they all seem to have uncontrollable pits or chows.
Glad at least that this woman’s bizarre racism brought her down in this case.
This is world news?
It doesn’t even qualify as local news or a viral video or clickbait.
>>That said, the Birder probably did not help things by continuing to record the woman after reminding her of the sign. I would get annoyed by someone recording me over the equivalent of a parking ticket. I would also get annoyed by someone offering my pet treats without permission.
When Chad Met Karen?
At my age and experience I still have a poorly developed sense of fear from things. One of the things that makes me stop and asses the tactical situation is a woman with a pit bull.
Also, the smaller the woman, the bigger the pit bull...which of course they can’t control even if it’s actually on a leash.
Social media claims another one.
If I was a normal person frighten by an African American man, I would leash up my dog and head in the other direction, not run toward him yelling and pointing my finger in his face.
A couple years ago a neighbor woman got a pit bull puppy that naturally grew stronger. She walked that dog past my house all the time. The first time the dog got free from her it ran up to me while I was getting into my truck. Snarling and barking all over the door and window. I routinely carry and explained to the woman that I would not hesitate to shoot the dog if it ever charged my where I was vulnerable like outside. Suddenly she stopped walking the dog down my street. She was a very small woman with a dog that outweighed her. Not the dogs fault but I would not let it attack me again.
Julia Roberts? To each his own I guess. I always thought she was a dog face and didn't get America's obsession with her, even in her prime. I can walk into my local Target and find 20 women better looking than Julia Roberts in her prime. And probably 75% of the women in my local Target look better than Julia Roberts does now.
They are just typical New Yorkers.
So, it sounds like the conversation started out civil, but when he said, “you’re not going to like what I have to do” and then pulls treats out of his pocket for the dog... well, my first instinct would be to suspect the treats are poisoned. That’s just me, but that action would make me very wary of the man. The whole thing was a mess that could have easily been avoided if the woman had simply kept her pooch on leash and waled him to get his exercise. Or, HIZZHONOR could just open everything... either way.
“I routinely carry and explained to the woman that I would not hesitate to shoot the dog if it ever charged my”
I used to jog after work around my work place. It was an industrial area with a few very run down houses nearby. When I went by one of the houses one day a pit bull charged me from the yard. This thing was very aggressive and I still believe he intended to attack me. I drew my Ruger LCP and aimed at the dog and as God is my witness the dog stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the gun. I went on my way without further incident. It was actually comical the way the dog slid to a stop.
I would have to side with the birder on this one. He saw the false accusation coming. I have seen this kind of incident happen.
The dog didn’t even like her.
We had some neighbors who routinely let there dogs out in the morning, and they would come up to our driveway snarling at our grand daughter and scaring her.
Our subdivision requires that dogs be on a leash, or in a pen. However, we don’t have an Association or really anyway to enforce it.
Hubby went down to their house and told the woman that he was going to shoot that dog, if it didn’t leave our grand daughter alone. All she had to do was to let it out earlier or later.
The dog was unavailable for comment.
“and has been placed on administrative leave from her job as head of insurance investment solutions at Franklin Templeton”
What is this ‘solutions’ crap? I know of two definitions for solutions - one is in chemistry, the other is when someone solves an identified problem. How, exactly, can one claim a ‘solution’, when no one has even identified a problem? In this case, insurance companies have been investing for centuries without any problems, so what the hell is a ‘solutions’ person needed for to begin with?
Throw her in jail for a few years.
