  People are insane. I carry mace and a knife when I walk my dog and I'm a 170lb dude - just can't be too cautious. I can't fathom what absolute scumbags these people are to bully and attack a woman.
context: Really looking forward to these two being identified and put in jail. >
  
  I like how they are as of yet unidentified yet they blur their faces in the video >
  
  Yeah, I don’t get the logic there. >
  
  Maybe the editors on the site are being overly cautious about being accused of 'doxxing'. Though I'd say that this couple should be named and shamed. As it stands, if authorities decide to press charges, their days of anonymity are likely numbered. As might be their 'employed' status at wherever they are currently employed. >
  
  I suppose so. I hope so.
  I would have thought the police seeking them out would be mandatory; she was assaulted. >
  
  Goddamn that was a brutal read. I feel so awful for the victim. >
  
  The video was awful. If the article is a transcript of the video, the victim did a good job of explaining the attack, but the video was even more intense and scary than she made it sound. >
  
  Alright I'll say it, some people just straight up shouldn't exist >
  
  Too many assholes, not enough consequences. >
  
  100% 
  You can get away with an enormous amount of petty borderline serious crimes. You start to wonder what it is that police actually do. Someone steals your ID and heads to a local bank to steal your money from a bank. They take a report. Someone breaks into your car and steals some shit, they file a report. 
  The number of horror stories I've read about women being stalked and harassed on Reddit and the complete lack of fucks given by police. It's sad.
  My best guess, they only go after serious crimes, and ones they can make $$$ off of. >
  
  In the us the supreme courts decided police don’t have to help you. 
  The US Supreme Court has made it clear that law enforcement agencies are not required to provide protection to the citizens who are forced to pay the police for their "services."
  In the cases DeShaney vs. Winnebago and Town of Castle Rock vs. Gonzales, the supreme court has ruled that police agencies are not obligated to provide protection of citizens. In other words, police are well within their rights to pick and choose when to intervene to protect the lives and property of others — even when a threat is apparent.
  In both of these court cases, clear and repeated threats were made against the safety of children — but government agencies chose to take no action.. >
  
  Hope they’re ID’d quickly.  Degenerates. >
  
  Their faces are right there in the video, so... >
  
  Yeah, but why did they blur them? If the cops are still looking, wouldn't they want to show their faces? >
  
  Remember when Reddit "found" the Boston Bomber? >
  
  Did you miss the sequel when Reddit ‘found’ the /r/moscowmurders killer? >
  
  That sub is a complete joke. Just a bunch of tragedy chasers with a victim complex and some sick sympathy fetish. >
  
  Hope that guy goes to prison for a long long time. Don't care if he was off his meds. >
  
  They talk about assault charges but that second round sounded more like attempted murder to me. When she said she'd call the police, herealised his mistake and tried at a draconian solution to avoiding the consequences. >
  
  100%. At a minimum this dude needs about 20 years behind bars to think about this one. Honestly, once you commit violence like this, you really don't ever need to be let out. >
  
  He’s probably done shit like this before. >
  
  
  And so as I approached, the woman said something to me and I said, ‘oh, pardon?’ And she immediately said, ‘don’t ignore me b---h. Don’t ignore me b---h. You heard me put your f---ing dogs on a leash’. And I said, ‘I really didn’t hear you’. And I was standing there like this going, ‘I’m really sorry. I actually didn’t hear you.'
  
  Reminds me of my time in retail where we were required to greet customers when they walked in. I hated doing it because 90% of the time, they genuinely do not hear you because they are in their own heads when walking into a shop. Not a dig at anyone, I'm sure I've done the same thing many times. 
  A guy walks in, I greet him, no response. Then he walks up to me and demands to know why I didn't greet him. I said I did. He says I didn't. I say maybe I was too quiet. Lucky for me, he wasn't too angry and just ordered what he wanted, but that's one of those situations where people just take shit personally. I think he genuinely believed that I decided not to greet him for whatever reason. But even if I didn't greet him, maybe I missed him coming in or maybe I was too busy thinking of what I wanted for lunch. People just get so crazy over stupid shit! >
  
  When I was younger,  I worked retail.  The first thing they taught us was to say good morning,  or “how’s it going today” instead of “can I help you”.  
  A lot of people responded with “no thank you” or “I’m good” as a response because of being conditioned to the usual “can I help you” questions from salespeople.  It would really throw people off their game and made for a great conversation starter. >
  
  In this case it was a simple, "Welcome!" Management didn't expect us to actually start conversations with people just walking in. I didn't expect anything but a nod or a smile or maybe a thanks. 
  We did have a specific greeting for walking up to a customers out on the floor. In our case it was, "What are you celebrating?" We had a whole list of open-ended questions we were supposed to ask and we were quizzed on proper responses as well. 
  "Where is the party being held?"
  "Did you have a theme in mind?" 
  "How old are they turning?" 
  "What characters do they like?"
  Things like that. >
  
  This attack has nothing to do with dogs. It was about someone looking for any excuse to do violence against another person. >
  
  Definitely, if it wasn’t the dogs it would’ve been something else. If it wasn’t her it wasn’t her it would’ve been someone else. >
  
  “I’m scared to look at people in case they’re having a bad day”
  I think a lot of us completely feel that fear these days. >
  
  I just realized a layer of my own personal issues now. I always avoid looking at anyone unless they are talking to me. It's just instinct that if I do, I will be confronted. Wow. That's sad.. >
  
  Jesus Christ people; I live in North Van; many many trails allow dogs off leash! Some don’t, some do, stop blaming her without knowing. She is the victim, ffs >
  
  And the attackers also had their dog(s) off leash! >
  
  We’re “potentially looking at an assault charge”?? I don’t understand why “potential” is necessary, if this person is not charged with assault at the very minimum I will lose faith in humanity >
  
  Good luck we are still working on this one. >
  
  Why are people like this blurred on news outlets? >
  
  So they can't get sued for "Defamation" would be my guess. >
  
  Probably also so guys who look similar to the suspect don't get harassed and assaulted by vigilantes who think they found the right dude.  Just my guess. >
  
  Oh that one makes even more sense.
  Just going by the comments here a lot of people are (rightfully) riled up about this, you post their faces now you got a mob of vigilantes prowling around looking for the suspects. >
  
  I really hope this went on Twitter cause as bad as Twitter is they are better then the police at identifying people and their entire lives. I hope they are found immediately, charged and thrown in jail for a while. Destroy their whole life >
  
  Just need some that recognizes the coats >
  
  North Van eh? Someone please find these people. Rich assholes need to be taught their manners any chance it is possible. >
  
  WTF? People are so psycho! Hope that couple gets arrested as well as publicly shamed. >
  
  Fucking degens from upcountry most likely. >
  
  Fucking degens are the worst. Better call the Ginger....and Boots. >
  
  Didn’t they fuck an ostrich? >
  
  A sick ostrich >
  
  Why are the faces blurred?? >
  
  So people that look similar to them don't get misidentified and harassed or assaulted by people riled up by this attack. >
  
  I think that might be worse, showing their dogs and bodies and playing their voices, but saying they are still trying to identify them with blurred faces. 
  Maybe there's a case to blur the woman, but she hasn't come forward, is protecting the man (who is a criminal and needs to be identified). It is much more important than worrying about lookalikes possibly being side eyed suspiciously 🙄 if that's the worry, why would they ever release faces of robbers/burglars/vandalizers then... why are these people protected when other suspects are not?
