He wouldn't be worth getting arrested over. He wasn't violent with anyone, so no need to get involved. But I admit, not engaging him verbally would've taken extreme levels of restraint on my part.

BTW, kudos to the flight crew for handling that situation so well. It easily could've escalated further had they not maintained professionalism and instead decided to stoop to his level.

you are correct.

But there are just some moments in life ( which come very seldom ) that you can make an actual difference in the lives of others.

THAT was one of them.

I was thinking the same thing, but I’d have to be by myself because my wife would not have let me

Hopefully they called the police, because the police could help her understand why what she did was illegal. I'm not saying she needs to go to jail, but perhaps a little education on local laws, an apology to the dogs owner, and some treats for the dogs.

Amy Cooper, a white woman who last year became an international symbol of the routine racism that Black people face in their daily lives, is suing her former employer for firing her, arguing that she is a victim of racial discrimination.

Ms. Cooper makes the claim in a lawsuit filed this week against the investment firm Franklin Templeton, which terminated her employment a year ago after she was captured on a widely shared video in a tense encounter with a Black bird-watcher.

The lawsuit is the latest fallout from the May 2020 episode in Central Park, which touched off intense discussions about the history of white people making false, and sometimes life-threatening, accusations against Black people to the police.......

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The white woman who falsely told police she was threatened by a Black bird-watcher in New York City's Central Park has lost a lawsuit accusing her former employer Franklin Templeton of illegally firing her and portraying her as racist.

In a decision on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams rejected Amy Cooper's claim that she was defamed when Franklin Templeton and its Chief Executive Jenny Johnson referred on three occasions to the incident and said they did not tolerate racism. A video of the incident went viral.

The Manhattan judge also said Cooper failed to prove she was fired in May 2020 because of her race or gender, and without the kind of thorough investigation once done into a male employee's alleged offensive conduct.

Lawyers for Cooper did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Franklin Templeton, part of San Mateo, California-based Franklin Resources Inc, said it "responded appropriately" to the incident and was pleased with the dismissal.

Cooper joined Franklin Templeton in 2015, and was working as an insurance portfolio manager when a May 25, 2020 video showed her appearing agitated after confronting the bird-watcher Christian Cooper, who is not related.

Amy Cooper was shown calling the police and saying "there's an African-American man threatening my life" after Christian Cooper asked her to leash her dog to comply with park rules.

The video was taken the same day a Minneapolis policeman killed George Floyd, sparking nationwide protests about racial injustice. Franklin Templeton fired Amy Cooper the next day, and she was branded on social media as "Central Park Karen," incorporating a pejorative for an entitled white woman..........
