@oralloy,
Quote:It is perfectly rational for someone to feel threatened when a thug threatens them and then tries to lure their pet away from them.
As I previously said - there are different sorts of threats, including:
- legal threats (ie lawful actions, such as calling law enforcement)
- threats of exposure (to ridicule on social media, which is why people start filming, like Mr Cooper did),
- threats of violence (which are accompanied by threatening behaviour, not calm behaviour where he never approaches her, and tells her to stay away from him)
- etc
...And when the threat is vague, the only way to know which category it falls into, and
the degree of the 'threat' (which can be very minor), is through applying context (actions, tone, bodylanguage), which you refuse to apply,. You choose to ignore all context (except him calling her dog to him with a treat) in judging whether or not her reaction was reasonable. This is agenda driven on your part.
It definitely in no way justifies shooting him (as you claim it would), which shows just how extremely disproportionate your bias is.
Any concession you've made to a black person involved in conflict with a white person - you've barely admitted a single iota to any black persons side (and usually it has been the black person who ended up dead). Context that favours the black person, you've virtually always called irrelevant. Context that favours the white person, you focus on, no matter how unreasonable it is in the known context.
Your racism has been on display for everyone here to see. Only you deny it.
One of the things that humans are quite capable of doing, is justifying to themselves anything they want to justify to themselves. No amount of argument is capable of changing the minds of such people.
