Really? regardless of what they are shouting or why they are shouting it?

Congratulations. Writing the stupidest sentence in the history of LR, was an epic challenge, but you've managed to beat out some serious competition to claim the title.

Correct. Try acting like a dog in public and barking at people who are bothered by it. It's annoying and shouldn't be tolerated. Stop defending shitty dog and owner behavior.

Pretty sure it was a girl walking the dogs no need to lie.

So is it harassment to shout at someone in public for any reason, or only if you're acting like a dog and shouting at people who are bothered by it. You are saying two different things.

So glad you could keep your composure while taking a beating.

You did nothing wrong. Carry a knife next time and stab the damn dogs. Or carry a collapsible trekking pole and stab them. It’s self defense.

This stupid “dogs are protecting their territory” idea gets old. Dumbest animals alive. Not sure why a skinny runner is threatening to these stupid creatures. It’s not out of fear. Dogs are disgusting beasts and feel the need to bark at and bite everything that’s not their owner? Stop feeding them and then they bite the owner. Fu$&ing dogs.

Pretty elaborate story there.... you could have just said you were experimenting..... I’m sure the understanding folks here at LR would have been quite supportive.

OP forgot to mention that the dogs were Chihuahuas - momma and 10 week-old puppy.

OP, you're a pansy. If I was in your position, I would've beat up the owner and tied him down. Than proceed to eat his dogs in front of him.

This ^ is a quality post!

I'm saying one thing. Shouting nonsense at people is harassment. Barking at people is also obnoxious and harassment, and poorly trained animals shouldn't get a free pass.

No, you aren't saying one thing. You said that shouting at a person in public is harassment, then answered in the affirmative when I asked "really? Regardless of what they are shouting or why they are shouting it?" So is it harassment to shout at someone in public for any reason, or only if you are shouting nonsense and the person is bothered by it?

Yes, it's harassment to shout at someone in public for ANY reason, unless you're actually communicating something intelligent to them which is impossible for your stupid animal to do.

LOL at people discussing this like it actually happened. OP posts basically the same damn story every other day. Either he is doing his morning runs through a dog park with strip steaks strapped to his body, or he is overstating the frequency of his negative dog encounters by a factor of 10,000.

It’s possible this man is attacked by dogs with great frequency. I mean, every time he walks out the door he is wrestled to the ground by a pooch! What a sad life!

If you pepper spray a dog because it barked at you I hope the dog comes back and bites off your d*ck.

Hopefully, that's what happened to you.

Ok, so it isn't harassment to shout at someone in public for ANY reason, then. Why do you find it so difficult to say what you mean?
