Just watched a man abuse his dog and stood there like a coward. AMAQ.

I seen a guy kicking a cat around when I was a teen.



I got his blood on my shoes.

Not going to bash you op, I would likely have just walked away too.

Feel like crap now though, huh? I hate it when that happens.

Fucking hate, hate hate the Tenderloin. I lived in SF for 4 horrible years- want to erase those from my memory forever. I lived downtown on Market street, where it was like Walking Dead with all the homeless and every other footstep you dodged a pile of human shit, vomit, or disgusting remnants. I once tried to break up a fight between a woman (prostitute I think) and pimp and nearly got my ass beat, and I'm a woman. Every time I took my dog out for a walk I was followed, harassed or accosted. I can't count how many times I've been followed right to my front door by men. I worried about being raped every time I took a walk at dawn or dusk. I worried about getting mugged whenever I took the subway to and from work.

It is a scary, horrible cess pool of violence, poverty, drug addiction, sex crimes, murder, disease and mental illness.

Move as soon as you can, OP. The poor dog is the tip of the iceberg.

Are you ok?

I wished him dead.

With passionate conviction I begged for him to DROP DEAD on the spot.

I'd take the karma hit for violating any spiritual laws.

I'm a coward because I was (and am) willing to violate "God's laws". I wasn't willing to violate MAN's law.

If it had been a human, I could have gotten away with intervening.

Because it was only a person, I didn't knee the guy in the face while he was crouched down there.

And if the dog had looked at me.

Leaving PetCo now. Shit. This has turned into a twitter feed.

maybe they actually get on great - dog had everything under control during the valve release

I've lived here for a little over ten years.

I love it. However, I'm not a woman. That changes a lot.

Actually, I used to love it. Thanks to Homeland Security and Legion Corporation the delicate web of criminal activities which had been in homeostatic balance and thus fairly safe had been torn up.

Now it's like a bunch of vipers who had reached detente being shoved into a bucket. A bucket of vipers. Bet that wasn't on your bucket list.

I saw the dogs face.

Sure, when the guys being affectionate, I'm sure the dog loves him. He's a dog.

But I bet that dog flinches if you move your hand too fast.

Sometimes all you can do is walk away, for your own sake. In this case it was likely best for the dog as well.

Whatever you may have said or done to the man, he probably would have taken it out on the dog later.

Karma is a funny thing, and you will have to settle your karmic debt for walking away - if you haven't already - but you know that.

You feared being held accountable to man's law, I would have feared for my own safety... I am a coward as well.

As far as wishing him dead... I can't blame you for that either as some beings should not be incarnated as a dung beetle, let alone as a human.

I'm better.

I have a problem sometimes in keeping from wallowing in the suffering.

Speaking of suffering, many feared dead, dozens injured in explosion in the city of Jhabua, India. Breaking news alert.

I'm sorry Op sometimes all we can do is walk away.......

It's alright, man.

In CPR classes I learned that that reaction is sometimes unavoidable in people. It's a natural "freezing" thing that happens even to the best, and even pros during disasters or triage.

Life wasnt supposed to be this way, you know. None of us are really prepared for violence and gore, thats why ptsd/depression/mania sometimes arises after.

You're still a good guy, and strong. It's alright.

I'm kinda the opposite, which is just as bad. Got it from ma. Mouth will be the 1st to run in a "that aint right" situation, and it'll put you in danger that way. Gotta try to think your way out of it, which is always hard in the heat of the moment. Maybe a super loud *COUGH* as you walked by mightve helped, lots of abusive aint-shit assholes slow their roll when they know they've got an audience. I mean I can say that now cause I wasnt there and have time to think on it though.

That was the primary reason why I didn't even say anything. I knew physical violence would only make me feel a little release of the rage, but wouldn't get the dog out of the situation.

And the dog would have likely defended the guy if it came to an altercation. That would really have twisted me.

No, I'm comfortable that I made the right decision, the logical decision. Normally when I'm confronted by a situation like this, I don't think. I react to the injustice before I have time to think about it. I'm not going to let someone be harmed right in front of me and not do something.

I like that I'm stupid in that way, and it only bothers me that we've set up our society in such a way that I just couldn't do anything that would have made that dogs life better.

I have very complex beliefs about the power of intention, but the one thing I'm completly comfortable with is if the guy dropped dead right there due to my intention, I would be comfortable arguing with any "god" about the morality of that intention.

OP I love your insight and posts on glp. However, I think you need to toughen up a bit. The dude was yelling at the dog. Not kicking or beating it. You are not a coward, you just used common sense. Don't be so harsh on yourself. You would have intervened if it was something that could have permanently harmed the dog.

Doing it again.

Can't believe I'm just learning about this.

And that's all I have to say about that.

Except, Happy Thanksgiving to old friends not forgotten, but lost to us!

You will receive real life bad karma for that wish. Karma tards often forget that the dog is someone in a previous life and is treated that way because of their own karma.

or does karma only work the way you want it to?

Yelling at a dog hurts your feelings? I can't wait till you see what's in store for liberal fucktards like you when TSHTF and you're in fucking San Fran.

You'll find out that getting a little yelled at isn't even close to the fear your pansy ass will feel.

I would have gotten arrested. I am impulsive, and have a deep connection to animals.

I would had asked him what the hell is wrong with him to bully his own dog like that.

Then I would have reported him to the Humane Society.

There are very good dog training books that say to get on the dogs face and tell to discipline than.

My son did this to his dog ONCE and the behavior was never repeated.

He would never hurt an animal- and he's a pacifist Buddhist type o guy

Maybe you need to read some dog books

Sorry you had to witness this.

Sorry to the doggy, too.

I was just removing the spittle that hit my face from the OP's rant and his death wish against the man, when I realized the OP was participating in what he is proclaiming to hate but taking it to the next level. Deserving of death. Passive aggressive.

All are emotional reactions set off by a trigger. Triggers are usually formed from either witnessing or experiencing abuse and cause extreme emotional reaction. Although, not every person who yells is yelling based on emotional triggers, they are doing it for impact for the safety of others or to "wash" the listener's ego clean to be receptive to realizing they don't know everything and they need to listen up and learn. Most people think they know everything and are usually only receptive to being "told" or "taught" when they grant personal permission beforehand to let someone teach them or tell them the way it is or the way it could be. Enrolling in college is an example of granting permission and opening the mind to other ways and ideas. People tend to remember being yelled at. An example is a drill instructor, which still has an extreme effect on some people even though they chose to participate and join the military. Usually those who were bullied and sexually shamed as children with no one steady to comfort them, drive by comforters, and provide security so they can build up feeling secure, are the ones who suffer even when they know beforehand they will be taught with yelling and screaming for impact; drill instructor.

What we have here, went from something that triggered a man's response to his dog. (No one knows why the man reacted that way towards his dog,) to knowing what triggered the response of the OP causing the OP to wish death on the man who screamed at his dog.

Wishing death or praying forthe death of someone is a way to avoid personally analyzing the issue and get real about it because it takes brain work. It's your brain and mouth saying you had enough. Can't deal. Make the problem go away. That is all. Karma is not recognized and badly trumped and swung around like a bat hitting a ball. Go to God.

should have drawn back and kicked him in the back of his head and kept walking

let the paramedics figure it out
