Somehow this should not have happened to this woman, despite her making a questionable reaction in a similar manner. Valade is pointing out the hypocrisy.

Nope, it's a result if rioting, which is an escalation. It generally comes after civil disobedience fails, and when its effective, and for the same reasons. Things escalate quickly when you have a murder on tape and the guy that committed it is walking free.

People say a whole lot of things; doesn't mean they're all true. I had doubts myself upon looking at the dual pics but let's see some proof.

per rules she should have had the dog on a leash. but the man also did warn her which could be perceived as a threat, which she said.

is her use of "African American" racist or a description.


with this story, I think Candace Owens has a point. there is often a lot of media/social media attention on these type of incidents where race was a factor or not, but not much attention to what she is talking about.

Oh, brother. Can always count on you to stick up for the oppressors instead of the oppressed.

Do you have a job…would you turn in a bad employee???

When you were in HS or college…did you turn in any students for cheating or whatever???

I was a security director for a good sized financial institution. Getting info out of employees was near impossible even when you knew they knew what was going on. Very few would come forward and even then it had to be in such a way as to leave them out of it.

Still a ****** analogy.

We'd all have our own thoughts on the charges for the primary officer here.
But what would be logical charges for the other 3? I'm not suggesting there shouldn't be, I'm asking because I haven't read/seen enough to know what involvement they had and/or opportunities to stop it.

Her actions are what matter. Someone can refer to another person as African American and still be racist af.

Entirely solved by putting your dog on a leash, and not behaving like an entitled ****. This is the problem with all of this, we have made a thousand excuses for her behavior at this point yet I've heard no theories on his behavior. Christ, I think we've been there and back on wondering what her history with black men might have been. Is this serious? Hey, maybe that guy was assaulted when he was a child by a super intelligent labrador who put all of his personal information online and the lady came across that information only to discover that off leash dog walking had become his biggest fear. Knowing this, she probably went to the park and let her dog off leash just to threaten him because he nailed her sister in college and didnt call. FFS

No it isn't.

Point is, employees will not turn in other employees. People in groups will not turn in others in that group.


How can you not see that??????
