Karens gotta Karen!
Agreed. Cooper should be ashamed of himself. His offense is magnitudes worse than anything the woman did.
Another explanation? — She was not racist, but, like the typical Manhattanite, she believed the police are racist. So she thought she’d get back at that black guy who was supposedly threatening her dog by calling the cops on him.
I’m glad somebody gets it.
This is this guy’s “schtick”. He carries around dog treats and is practiced at videoing what he wants of an encounter he can arrange. He carries binoculars as an excuse for stalking white women. He doesn’t record his own threatening behavior.
He does all this because he knows she can’t be carrying anything more threatening than a phone to defend herself.
I have read elsewhere that Amy Cooper was a Dem based on political contributions.
He was angry that the dog was going to disturb the pink-crested kneeling knob-gobblers...
If she called the police for help and didn’t identify his race, all would be okay? Simply adding a fact not in dispute caused her firing?
I tend to side with the bird-watcher in this because I do not like seeing dogs off the leash when they are supposed to be on it. I have a dog that is always on the leash when I walk him. He has been attacked by bigger dogs a couple of times (I had to shoot one of them). I do not take him to dog parks because I don't want him to be attacked again by unleashed dogs (dogs are allowed off leash in dog parks).
That said, I don't think this woman's life should be ruined over her Karen-ish outburst. Society forgives people who have committed crimes of violence and this woman's "crime" seems pretty darned trivial to me. She deserves to be embarrassed, but she should not be permanently unemployable because she made a mistake. The way a lot of people are talking, I guess she should hang herself.
I was with you until Mr Cooper. Your analysis there is outrageous. It is not incumbent on him or anyone else to allow someone to wantonly break the rules, rules absolutely necessary for a bird sanctuary, simply because it suits the rule breaker. She said the dog needed exercise so she was planning to let it run in the refuge.
If he had bellowed at her, charged her, actually threatened her instead of implying he would offer her dog a treat & she wouldn’t like it then it would have been threatening behavior.
Instead she screamed at him, charged him, on video, and did a great imitation of a 2 year old temper tantrum while he calmly said, great call the police, thank you and please don’t come any closer.
This puts the lie to your construction. He wanted the police to deescalate the situation and remove the unleashed dog that could have disturbed the ground nesting birds. His sister posted the video and he said that he was sorry Ms Cooper lost her job, that it was an over reaction.
In short her behavior was exposed and she was judged as a liability to the company. You need a better class of victim. This lady was a bully & a spoiled brat. I do not think she was racist. She never would have charged him if she truly thought he was a threat. If she was intimidated she would have put the leash on & kept walking.
I think she just knew that racism was a tool she could use to intimidate Mr Cooper, along with the fact that she was a woman (victim). How many black men, how many men have been arrested and imprisoned by a woman who wanted to exert power over a man, for revenge, for fun, to get something she wanted? If it is an uneven playing field I think the civilized person is handicapped while people like MS Cooper have the edge because of their ruthlessness and willingness to lie and put on an act.
He’s an ass for saying “you’re not going to like what I will do next” which can be perceived as a threat and for posting the video on you tube.”
**************
America’s leftist white women — mostly young, childless, and professional — need to realize that they are getting knocked from their place at the top of the food chain. Welcome to the world that straight, white, decent family men have had to live in for decades.
He didn’t upload the video.
I have seen nothing that suggests he has time on his hands, this incident was in the early morning before work. Her behavior and attitude earned her a correction, administered by her firm either because they were waiting for an excuse or because as the company spokesman said keeping someone who has said racist things makes a company vulnerable to suits that the company fosters an unsafe working department.
You use liberal tactics and denigrate the birdwatcher rather than addressing Ms Cooper’s actions & behavior.
“Ahmaud Arbery had gone past the McMichaels, turned, charged them, punched one, and tried to wrestle his shotgun away from him. This was all recorded. Punching people and taking their stuff are crimes, unless there is a positive reason for them.”
Arbery had not gone past the McMichaels
The punching and wrestling occurred after the first shot was fired.
There was a positive reason for Arbery’s actions, he was defending himself against two armed thugs.
He had his sister upload the video! He ruined his victims life!
Screw the birdwatcher and the cream puff he rode in on!
Excellent point!
yep
My guy is a UPS driver and he carries dog treats all the time to treat the good doggies but it helps wi the not so dog doggies too.
That woman was a nut job and a fraud. Actions have consequences.
What was his offense exactly?
Wanting to enjoy an area that was created for bird watching, one of the most famous & visited bird refuges in the USA?
Or was it politely asking her to leash her dog and encouraging her to follow the rules by taking out a bag of dog treats?
If the dog was under Ms Cooper’s control she had nothing to fear from a man with a bag of dog treats 20 or more feet away from her. Mr Cooper did not cause Ms Cooper to lose her job her actions did.
The ramble
Central Park also attracts a goodly number of birders. On a warm Sunday in May, over 500 birders have been counted birding in the Ramble. Birding enthusiasts include visiting bird groups from other parts of New York State and neighboring states as well as visitors from distant states and abroad. On a spring weekday morning, you will see the business-suited folk catching a little birding on their way to work.

Thanks! Freepers are seriously deluded on this racial incident. They hate the liberal white woman so she is to blame.
This black Harvard Grad/Idiot spends his free time trolling Central Park dog owners with his bag of doggie treats. What a head case!
So Mr Cooper took this stalking so far that he became an officer of the local Audubon society?
Pull the other leg; it’s got bells on.
