The man has been more than open. In fact, he even said that he thought that her actions were being blown up and that he did not think she should have been fired.
She’s a crazy dog lady, walking her dog where she shouldn’t have been, who went ballistic when asked to leash it. As I mentioned elsewhere, offering a treat is a sure-fire way to get a dog owner to grab and leash their dog voluntarily and it usually defuses the issue.
The cops used to give people citations for having their dogs in this and other areas, or having them off leash in general, but I’ve noticed that they’ve stopped, probably because they’re scared of having a confrontation with these privileged Upper West Side witches. They know the women won’t hesitate to claim police brutality or something if they receive a ticket and are forced to put poochy back on leash.
It’s the FReepers who seem most obsessed by race here and it’s not pretty.
You have good points. I know the extremism of a lot of dog people.
But, I think this event appears entirely initiated by him. He provoked it and publicized her meltdown. She’s fired now and facing possible charges, so he certainly got his pound of flesh for her wrongs.
I don’t think Freepers are binging up race any more than the subject is being forced on this by the media. I do think that the man involved in this incident was selecting people he thought he could intimidate with his routine. There might have been a racial component on his part.
