Has anyone considered that she is in the beginnings of dementia, Alzheimers or
mental illness? My father was a compassionate, respectful and reasonable man
until he descended into illness in his early 60s. At that point he was
sometimes irrational and acted out in a verbally aggressive manner, often in
cases where he felt he had been wronged. It was incredibly hard on him when he
realized what he had done, and also on his family.
I don't condone the dog walker's actions in any way but would hope that this
community could reserve judgement until the whole story is told, and show
empathy towards an obviously troubled elderly woman instead of advocating
violence towards her (I'm looking at you munched55).
