The man at the center of the Central Park “Karen” fiasco has said he will not cooperate with the Manhattan district attorney’s investigation, according to a new report.
Christian Cooper told the New York Times on Tuesday that Amy Cooper, 41, has suffered enough since the May encounter that destroyed her career and reputation. Amy Cooper was charged on Monday with falsely reporting an incident in the third degree.
“On the one hand, she’s already paid a steep price,” Christian, 57, told the paper, referring to the criminal charge. “That’s not enough of a deterrent to others?”

I have to agree with him. This is minor compared to the rioting, looting and killing in NYC that is happening now and the DA's are no where to be found prosecuting these animals. Oh, I forgot about the animals that sucker punch old ladies in NYC. They are set free to do it again.

Maybe he knows he contributed to the problem by intimating her and wants to avoid testifying. Regardless, if he believes in systemic racism he would have never came forward in the first place. They were both two morons who found each other.

That little corner of Central Park, known to the local light-in-the-loafers crowd as The Fruited Plain, isn't necessarily known for watching birds.

Yet we are told that we must always believe a woman who makes an accusation, right? Right, Duke University? Right, U VA? Right, Columbia University and the mattress girl?

Is it possible that she was telling the truth, and that he was threatening her? I agree—two morons who found each other!

The Manhattan DA has a little bit of a problem image wise when a memo he circulated to his staff said softly deal with rioter arrests but go and investigate the NYPD--and he thought (?) that this prosecution would help him; guess not.

I got into an argument about whether or no National Parks are racist (they aren't) because according to the guy I was arguing with, not enough minorities go to them. He brought up this case. It did not take place in a national park and both of them behaved badly. But there are people who see racism cooties everywhere and they are very loud about it.

So my question is this. If he was threatening her and she had time to make the call and wait for the police why did she not just turn around and walk away from him instead. He obviously was not in the process of attacking her. If so, she would not have been able to make the call. This whole thing just sounds weird and probably is normal for Deblasio's New York.

I somewhat agree with Christian. The public destruction of "Karen" has been far more effective than anything the law will do. On the other hand, the law should be enforced. While she might be found guilty of 911 abuse, a judge would probably figure justice has already been served.

I'm with the rest of you who think that the Bird man of Central Park would rather not see the entire incident come to light.
Anybody tried to call the cops for a non-emergency lately? In my area it's 911 or nothing. My local fuzz have trained me to call 911 for any need. I ask for non-emergency and get directed to 911. My neighbors call 911 for dead squirrels unless they see me first, I'm known to have a shovel. I can't assume her call was 911 abuse without knowing the history of how they direct calls in NY.

''Perp Cooper'' was filming ''Vic Cooper.'' She didn't like it. She called the cops. She lost her job. Now ''Perp Cooper'' doesn't want to play the Police/Court game. Did ''Vic Cooper'' do a little Racial Profiling? Did ''Perp Cooper'' do a little ''messin' with'er''? Maybe she didn't know it was a crime punishable by death. Maybe he didn't know a sufficient number of women who freak out at the sight of him. I seriously doubt if either of the Coopers were doing anything intentional UNTIL she whipped out her phone. The 11th Commandment seems to be ''Thou shalt not approach another ethnicity during a period of racial tension.'' The 12th Commandment seems to be ''Perception is everything.''

He probably knows his "bird watching" story will be ripped apart by any decent defense attorney and doesn't want to go there.

Is there such a thing as black guilt? Nah, it would have shown up decades ago.

He was likely not a bird watcher, and doesn't want to be asked under oath why he was there.

White privilege must be being a White and committing basically the same crime Bubba Wallace is guilty of and being charged, while Bubba is still complaining. And Central park Karen didn't waste 15 FBI agents time and millions of tax dollas.

I was told I have white privilege and I said "I don't have any white guilt because I don't care what color my friends are! I just people as individuals!"

Given the information supplied by #4, I’m guessing that this guy may have had a rendezvous with an underaged boy in the works and got waylaid by the woman with her dog.

I truly wish that members on this site would stop trying to disparage Mr Cooper. He really is a bird watcher and he seems like a nice man. He asked a woman to obey the law and put her dog on a leash in the area where he was trying to enjoy his hobby. He did nothing wrong. He did not initiate the problem and he did not ask that she be prosecuted. Now he is proving to be a gracious and intelligent human being who does not want to pile on and inflict even more damage on a woman who has paid a heavy price for her racist actions. He is to be applauded. Doubt that he is really a bird watcher? Here is a video of him leading a bird watching walk in Central Park. https://youtu.be/-qd2XyGFTzk

I am starting to get concerned about the bigoted messages I am seeing here on L.com. Every once in a while, someone would say something inappropriate but it seems it is happening more and more. I find it disgusting how people will make innuendo about other people based on sexual orientation or race. It is no wonder the left gets away with calling "conservatives" all the names they do. There are people here proving them right. A lot of us ARE bigots. And if we don't think we are bigots and don't want to be called that, then why are people implying things about others who are different?? Some of us need to check ourselves. Bigotry, racism, and any other form of negative prejudice has no place here. Leave that ignorant junk to the Leftists who use differences to create division and hate. We are better than them. We are not ignorant nor manipulative. The left are. We are smarter and more decent and respectful than to be like them.

#4 nails it.
All Manhattanites know that this area of Central Park is a renowned pick-up area for a certain type of personality. Mr. Cooper doesn't want to be placed under oath and asked embarrassing questions about why he really was there.
His binoculars were only a cover for the real reason he was lurking around. He probably couldn't tell you the difference between a robin and a pigeon.
The poor "Karen" may have actually been threatened by him as the video --- shot by him --- starts well after they first met on the trail and exchanged words.

#13
Trolls post on all websites to stir things up. This is an election year so get used to a whole lot of trolls attempting to sway opinions in any way they can - especially racially charged statements
Like the "noose" hoaxes beware of the things you read as well. Don't jump to conclusions.
And "sticks and stones..." annonymous words can't hurt anyone but a snowflake.

The "bird watcher" absolutely threatened the "Karen," as is evident in the transcript. He calmly implied that he was going to poison her dog, adding that he carries special treats for "intransigent" people who tarry in his special place and that she won't like what he's about to do, and she called the police to report it. Just because he's a homosexual doesn't mean he's not a bully, and just because he's a bird watcher doesn't mean he doesn't also cruise for anonymous sex in a place known for such disgusting dalliances.

We’re in a damn war with the radical left, the dnc, Antifa, BLM, the fake news liars, education...They hate us!
And some poster here gets offended at our spirit? Our informative posts?
Our fighting back?
We’re bigots?
I strongly disagree with calling US names.
You best direct your angst toward THEM.
Not US.
Thank you
