or a combo platter thereof. It's like they're finally on stage, they're finally called upon to do their part to defend white supremacy, and the excitement is overwhelming. For a DOG on a PARK TRAIL. Christ.

And that entitled middle aged white woman truly lived up to the term.

And the self appointed ranger needs to be named & shamed.
Screw her

Fuck those idiots. They deserve what comes after which is rebuke of their skewed view of this country's si=ocial contract. In fact that view of the social contract is what has brought us to this moment in which revolt against the white supremacy is what's going on in the streets each day.

It used to be no one would take our word for these things because we didn't have any "proof" and it was just us saying it.

Now there are videos galore, but that's STILL not good enough because the video has no "corroborating" evidence.

So, I ask again. What's your point?

At one point they even had to take the video off selfie mode.

rather than taking the true skeptic's stance, and researching it on their own and providing those results.

But it's not really laziness, is it?

It states in clip that when this person started hassling them they start filming. So they must've stopped at some point. This woman was an entitled racist douche.

Ever hear of home movies? With this brand new invention called the "smart phone," folks are able to make home movies of nearly everything they do. There are even these brand new "internet" (you might know the "internet" as America Online or AOL) services that allow "streaming" where you can upload live video content and viewers can watch that content live.

Right at this moment, across all of the different video streaming platforms, there are millions of viewers watching thousands of "streams" - live!

You'll notice in the clip in the OP they were recording a brief segment of their walk and then stopped recording. They resumed recording when they were confronted by this racist white woman. That seems like a good time to begin recording again, to me, but apparently to you the entire thing was "convenient."

I'd bet that the folks harassed by this racist white woman found the situation quite INCONVENIENT!

You would see that it includes a shot of the sign that tells visitors whether dogs are permitted on this particular trail.

Trail Dog is even in your name, BOB!

The woman in this video verbally assaulted this family and was an out and out racist toward them. They showed a picture of the sign showing that pets on a leash (like their dog) were allowed on the trail.


Jeez.
