Based on screen shots of her dog's Instagram, he's been in jeopardy a frightening amount of times. Broken foot, almost drowned, choked on a walk, etc. It's really good that dog has been taken from her as well.
Some people seem to "enjoy" being the victim /always having some sort of a problem or imagining mistreatment by someone. This woman seems she might just be one of them.
In my now-legendary law enforcement career, I only met one psychopath. He wasn't especially weird or creepy, he just didn't see anything wrong with killing people. I think his total was 10...that we know of. He sat on Death Row for 34 years before being executed in 2014 I believe.
Yes, psychopath is a very, very strong word -- and doesn't seem to fit this woman.
I've been teaching for almost three decades, and pretty much everyone passes through the public school system. I've encountered only one student in all that time whom I think is genuinely a psychopath (and I don't know what became of him). He was cold, uncaring, had a lack of concern /connection that other students -- even downright mean kids -- don't have. It wasn't just that he had no sense of right and wrong; rather, he seemed to have no understanding that other people are people /that other people have feelings or matter.
Being a psychopath (or a sociopath) goes way beyond racism. Racists at least like "their own people", whereas psychopaths have "a disconnect" with literally the whole human population.
I've taught three students who went on to become murderers, and none of them had that same "cold, nothing trait".
Had she given a genuine apology and said she just had a really bad day and took it out on this innocent man, and reached out to him with some humility and asked for forgiveness maybe she would deserve some benefit of the doubt.
It's a rare situation that can't be mitigated with a genuine, heartfelt apology.
... It would have been so much easier if she just snapped the leash on the dog and kept walking.
Yeah, well, that's a rational thought! She doesn't seem to have been rational /doesn't seem to think the rules apply to her.
... Or that possible legal actions taken against this woman should be because “look what could have happened”.
Yes, she must be judged upon what actually happened /actual evidence -- not how we fear the situation could have escalated.
... But if her goal was to make sure that he would never get the chance to present his side of the case (i.e. show the video) because he's killed, then that's not much of a plan. ...
This attributes a great deal of forethought and planning to her actions. I think she just didn't like being "called out" for breaking a rule. I don't think she had some sort of long game /plan to hurt this man.
Almost every single person that I have talked to has said that they did not realize that non-Jewish Polish people were also sent to the camps or were just outright slaughtered. Many have no idea that people were taken as slaves. NOT ONE PERSON has known this. ...
Surely anyone who attended high school knows that mentally disabled people, gays, Jehovah's Witnesses, Catholic priests, Jewish sympathizers and several other groups were sent to the concentration camps in large numbers -- not just Jews.
