Yes, she's entitled to her opinion, but is it always appropriate to EXPRESS our opinions? No. Most of the time, it's best just to shut up and let it go.
Nope....that women behaved exactly like my wife would have.....and no....she (my wife) does not act like that at home. Like I said....everyone has different triggers. Your trigger might be something that would not set her off and she would look at your response the way you are looking at hers.

For the same stupid reason she was flipping out.
So you are equating letting blacks in restaurants with letting dogs in restaurants?

Seems like "Vets" are the only ones entitled to a "victims" mentality.

Sorry, we would have to agree to disagree on this one.

The veteran did not complain, she pushed his dog first.

The sad part is she feel she's entitled to behave that way in public. Her opinion at her free speech is not entitle her to act in a disruptive manner that way and attacked people. That's the problem in our society today they confuse our rights and our freedoms with self-imposed entitlements and believe that gives them the right to bully others. Definitely needs to understand having the right to speak and having the ability of knowing the proper time to use that freedom is a lesson that few people learn.

It looks like she was the one who called the waitress "who*e" and the B word.

I am not saying this woman had no right to voice her opinion. If she doesn't like the dog, she doesn't like the dog. But does she have the right to behave like this in public? What can she accomplish behaving like this?

All these said, I do agree with you. Being a veteran should have nothing to do with the story. He is a disabled man with a service dog. But this veteran doesn't have the "I served, what about you" attitude. He was calm and just stood there.

No....I am not talking about the response from the vet, but the others who came to his defense because he is a vet.
