That's her life as she knew it in there.
Or this;



This could be a childhood photo of her. I don’t know. Maybe..



I bet if you take those silly outfits off, these are all “good people”. I’m sure you’d find the funny one, witty one, brainy one and downright bashful Petunia.

She was also neglectful in her care of the dog, because the animal should never have been unsecured in an open environment where the dog could be injured, or injure another person or animal.

The victim has said that he accepts her apology if it is genuine, and that she respects the leash law. Perhaps if she would stop the whining and excuses, attempting to portray herself as a victim, said apology might resonate a little less shallow.



exactly,


she actually seemed like she was getting very aggitated and had the nerve to storm right over to him, told him to stop filming here and then was in his face....


she didnt look too frightened to me,


so, when she saw that that wasnt working, she was basically giving him an ultimatem (sp), you either stop filming me, or I am going to call police and tell them an african american man is threatening me and my dog, and as she was on the phone, the longer she was on, the more hysterical she became.


Im not buying her "frightened" excuse at all.
If one was going to be that frightened, one would not be in central park alone with a dog not on a leash.


she portrayed herself like a complete nut case.

Meaning that she sounded hysterical. There's no way I'd interact like that with a woman who sounded so crazy. But again, I grew up in NYC and was taught to mind my business and not to go around confronting anybody over something that should have been handled by the authorities. Too many crazies in New York, even if they live near CP and work for major financial companies.

She didn't want to go to the area where dogs are supposed to be, because it was scary, that was what seemed to be the case from what I saw of the video/transcript? So she's in an area where her dog should be leashed? None of my business, unless the dog was right up on me. Minding one's business goes a long way, a lot of people should have learned that life lesson from the time they were small.

Racializing the police, that is the narrative. As for a black man confronting a white woman if he's Af-Am, he forgot his ancestors' history, this is a lesson black men have known forever. I'm just blown away he confronted her. It's a sign of the times that the political culture has changed that she could be called on it.

Unfortunately this happens all the time and without video no one would believe. I personally have been on the end of this type of behavior when staying in luxury apartments or luxury hotels. As soon as the see they color of my skin they immediately think I work there and treats me like the help or they assume im loitering and try to get security to throw me out. Even in office buildings in order for them to not assume im there to rob the place i have to keep my building ID pinned on my shirt pocket visible at all times just to avoid the BS meanwhile they get to keep theirs in their purse or wallet.

Hit the nail on the head. As i said before she even came up to him as the aggressor and all the time she was choking the hell out of the dog. And the funniest of all this was the people that revealed who she was was the same people that used to walk her dog

That's why I hope minorities call out people like Joe Biden for being another racist. He voted for segregation in the past and now he claims if you don't vote for him you ain't black.
Fk Joe Biden
Dude showed America his true colors in that interview. He's not too much different from Trump, but thats for another thread

Doesn't sound like it. Just the opposite according to her ex:https://nypost.com/2020/05/28/amy-co...ing-for-obama/

"Amy Cooper allegedly stalked ex-love interest, slammed him for Obama vote"

This and other questions/discrepancies about who she may be and where she came from are leading me to believe maybe The Independent zeroed in on the wrong Amy.

Do you think she was upset that he backed Obama over Hillary?

Ok the picture was removed. I sure hope there are no images posted on this forum that have children in them. Or maybe it’s because this child looked a certain way.

Btw, there are children in the video with the dancing pallbearers. They weren’t blonde though, even though unlike the blonde child, they are still minors.
