I’m sorry but including Christian Cooper in this story is indicative of the nature (pun intended) of this piece. This guy threatened a woman with attempting to steal her dogs and when she gave a physical description to the police, cried racism to hide behind his bad behavior. Virtue signaling with name changes is still just virtue signaling. Instead of worrying about the name and the history, maybe worry more about the birds, and perhaps about the human feces they have to ignore as they step over it. Rome is burning while Nero fiddles....

Exactly. For those who haven't been with Common Sense/FP since the beginning, here is the site's piece on CP Karen. It was illuminating: https://www.thefp.com/p/the-real-story-of-the-central-park

Yeah, interviewing Cooper *seriously* was a huge indication of the non-serious nature of this article. His inappropriate behavior toward ALL dogwalkers was called out by a black dogwalker. Threats to poison people's dogs are not acceptable. The fact that anyone could take this man seriously is disturbing.

And let's not forget the most recent "Karen," Sarah Comrie who was vilified because she confronted a bunch of young black boys who tried to take the Citibike she legally rented. Another fake racial incident in which, had the boys been white, and acted like idiots, would never have been reported. In NYC - or other strongholds of leftist insanity - one fights back against a black assailant at one's peril. Just ask Daniel Penny.

Worse, the card-carrying jerk was rewarded for it with a TV Series. We all know that if the NYPD had shown up in response to "Karen's" call, they would have shrugged the whole thing off. But noooooooo, the Drama Queens of BLM / MOB JUSTICE have the useful idiots convinced that the (probably black and Hispanic) cops would have arrived guns blazing and shot him dead.

Which is ironic because I'd like to see Christian Cooper go where he put Amy Cooper.
