Arrested Pug Owner May Be Fired Over Alleged Anti-Semitism

The woman is off the hook, I know her personally.

Read the comments from people that know her on the original NYP article, unstable, passive aggressive, attention seeker, bad employment history.

We all have issues, but what is boils down here is respect. Respect your animals, respect the law, respect others. It's not so hard, is it?

Is his name pronounced "Vitriol"?

And why does he look like the evil parking garage valet from Ferris Bueller's Day Off?

NYPD silent as 15-yr. veteran police sgt. charged with mowing down pedestrian while driving drunk

no animals were hurt in the posting of your irrelevant link, right?

Despite agreeing that felix is a little absurd at times (okay, most of the time), I think the link is slightly relevant in regards to the NYPD going to extremes to protect their own. For the conspiracy theorists out there, this Brodigan story may feel like a a cover-up in some way... so, maybe the link is pertinent. Then again, who cares.

Viane Delgado is actually Patrick Pogan in drag!

So wait...let's break this down:

"Fucking" is not a slur. "Jew" is not a slur. "You're less than human" is an insult but not a slur. And so the adding of them together in context is a slur?

Well - if it was even said while she was being manhandled - couldn't any good lawyer argue that she intended to yell each as a separate statement?

No sides here. Just trying to determine the logic of how an assumed slur (from either side) determines the legal outcome of this debacle.

Pigs never falsify reports. ahem, critical-mass-tackling, ahem.

Felix, let it rest a bit, you're getting looser than usual. Wait for the progress of the case, the sequence of legal procedure will follow. I'm sure we'll find updates here (grin, JDS, you shyte-stirring bugger!).

Nothing we say here matters, except to us.

As an aside: From my personal viewpoint, do we have a prisoner-exchange program with Utah? I think I'd prefer having the Hipster-Grifter back. Much more fun with the Asian, tattoo, sex and opportunism. Vote, everybody?

Free speech is dead in America. RIP.

I am againt police brutality. Animal abuse and sexism. If the police falsified a witness then it is a serious matter. If the post invented a witness to villify her than it is libel. Not only can she lose her job but a nut can hurt her.

Fact: the only reason Felixthecat2 even cares about this is because a dog is tangentially involved. As such, he will vociferously defend the woman, regardless of what she may or may not have said.

Without the ethnic slurs in the police report to corroborate the Post reporting on the event, she can and should sue the post for slander.

Per your logic then you must adhere to your employer's code of conduct afterhours? No way.My boss doesn't own me

It is sad how people play the race card to justify their misdoings. This woman shouldn't have been arrested and shouldt lose her job over this. Not to mention harassed by people at her doorstep.

She actually should have been arrested for resisting the requests for identification from a police officer. All she had to do was shut up and comply with the requests, and she would now be at home tweeting away.

And, she should be fired, not for alleged racist remarks but for acting in an unprofessional manner and drawing undesired, negative attention to her employer.

Dude, STOP COMMENTING FROM YOUR IPHONE! It's obviously not working correctly!

Since when is "Jew" a racist remark? Jewbag, yes. Jew? No.

AlsoWaldo valeriob thinks anyone who doesn't agree that animals should be abused or doesn't laugh at his lame juvenile jokes must be me. He has inferiority complex. Sad

I don't think animals should be abused. I DO think that when you claim they are, they aren't being abused at all.

You're taking sides with this crazy bag lady but in reality she abused her puking pug by putting it in a backpack on the subway with no air and hundreds of people could have potentially stomped the shit out of it when she had it out of the bag.

Maybe you should get that dick out of your ear and listen up, yea?

Valeriob is obsessed with me. Lol. Also he is lonely and needs validation from anonymous Gothamist posters. When he is ignored he starts crying like a little girl. Pathetic.

Quality over quanity, baby.

What's with the sandy vagina?

dude, chill out.

I didn't know "Jew" was a racial slur.

i dunno about Jew being a racial slur, but I think "dirty Jew" might be just a little bit offensive?

anti-semite or not...this crazy lady dug her own grave. She even went as far as to clearly admit to wrong doing on her own twitter. Genius.

She even looks crazy. I know that was mean but in this case the cover agrees with the contents.

This dumb bitch IS an anti-semite; she incriminated herself by saying that she didn't "recall" saying anything anti-semitic, which is the same as saying "Yeah, I could have said those anti-semitic things."

I have nothing to add but this.

that is both heartwarming and incredibly dumb. i love it.

This makes me like pugs more, not less. I would prefer, though, if it were pushing a stroller full of cans or a broken tv.

I believe no one that posted a comment here was on the subway when this happens, so I think we should all chill and see what the investigation will bring we must give the benefit of doubt to all involved, now I want to make a point regarding Hasidim I’m not Hasidic and I don’t live in the neighborhood but I work in the north of Williamsburg, I can say based on the language and preconceived notion people have here about Hasidim is shameful and I’m talking liberal open people, they put all Hasidim in the same light like I heard lately someone complaining they are Chauvinistic or male chauvinists they don’t know how to behave to women etc. Hasidic women are miserable, the males are unhappy. I work with some of them very few I must add, but they are like all of us, and in all cultures there is behave and misbehave so to put them all in basket is untrue, I believe most of us living and working don’t even come in contact with them, and if you do its very few, so give them a break like you would give others.

99.9% of the time I see a family on the train, the fat toad of a worthless husband is sitting while the wife stands, holding all of the bags and managing all of the children, probably after working 12 hours in some office to support her husband's "rabbi studies" (i.e., full day of sitting around doing nothing).

I'm not sure if I would call the men chauvinists, but the expectations of what the wife has to do versus the husband is so out of whack in my opinion, that I will freely call the whole "arrangement" messed up and worth disintegrating.

There's a reason most of our families adapted to Western ways and integrated into society.

By the way, I have had interactions with many of the men and women, professionally and through personal contacts, and little I have seen or heard has swayed me from my feelings about this.

first are you some kind of scientist that you make up percentages, second by seeing a fat toad don’t you think you see what you want to see, and finally since you have no idea what’s going in their community FYI most, almost with out using your percentages the husbands work and their wives are house wives so check your percentages first before you comment on something, you are the typical reason I wrote in the first place, and you know what, maybe you should speak to them with out prejudice maybe you will see what you see in others, good luck.

Wowwe.

But hey! You're #10!

Keep up the good work!

Finally I've proven that my double posts are not my fault!! Thanks Keepdiscoevil!

See the time stamp on your reply and my immediate 'double post' follows from the past?

Oh, and yes I'm #10 but I owe credit to Felix for fueling that.

Based on whats been reported, she's lying through her teeth. She's using the same Clinton defense about not remembering anything.

People get very attached to their pets and consider them their little children. So I can imagine that this woman went off the wall on the cop when he challenged her about it.

What exactly are you looking for? You want the NYPD to immediately produce the witness JUST FOR YOU Felix?

Once the investigation is over, you will have your witness and statement, but you still won't be satisfied with the outcome.

You will continue to rant and rave with your adolescent grasp of the English language and tofu-loving tree-hugging stuck-in-the-70's interpretation of the law.

You have not written ONE intelligent comment or contributed positively to ANY story on Gothamist, EVER. You continue to poke and prod decent intellects who aren't looking for a comment bitch-fest.

You don't understand that when someone disagrees with you, they are not wrong, they simply have their own opinion. You make false claims, repeat ignorant irrelevant posts, and you copy/paste diatribe from despicable websites.

You are consistently being proved wrong, your opinion has become a laughing stock, no one wants to hear your unoriginal regurgitated bullshit. You want to be a mouthpiece for animal rights? You're doing it wrong. Fail fail fail fail.

Felixthecat, you have no shame, this is clear. Have a little respect.

What exactly are you looking for? You want the NYPD to immediately produce the witness JUST FOR YOU Felix?

Well, ethically speaking, they'll need to produce the witness if and when this case goes to trial... I sort of doubt Felix is insisting Viane Delgado be found for his own agenda. So while I don't much care to join the festival of hate you two have going on, I also have to agree - finding the Post witness would really clear some things up for those who want to know the truth, mainly but not limited to The NYPD and Chrissie Brodigan.

Except she shut down all of her accounts, Einstein.

How many Gothamist accounts do you actually have?!

I know you like agreeing with yourself but holy shit, man. Get a job.

Am I being accused of being an alter-ego for felix2? That terrifies me.

I want to state for the record that I whole-heartedly endorse the slaughter of all of the Canadian geese, rats, pigeons and squirrels in New York. Further, I think that blind poodle should have been left in the shaft.

Also, I think both Brodigan and Witriol should be fired from their jobs and sent to Venezuala - they both sound like morons.

O.K. cool. Just because he copied and pasted one of your comments, that's all.

I also want to state that I don't dislike any of the posters here, even if I do leave obnoxious comments from time to time (like the one where I called you "Einstein"). It's all in the name of good fun when procrastinating on the internet, but never personal.

Or maybe you were referencing his quote of Manitoba, in which case I assume he was probably just using it to show how you'd just been proven wrong in response to your barb, "You are consistently being proved wrong."

Either way...

ha, wait, did you just accuse me of being a Felix-owned account?

So, if I understood you correctly, you'll believe that I'm a fabrication of somebody else on the site before you'll accept that one of the 108 comments here would be at odds with your viewpoints and not be owned by your sparring partner, Felix?

That ego must get so heavy sometimes.

where is ALL DAY ALL NIGHT guy?

He told me to tell you guys this:

STUPID WHORE BICTH DESEREVS TOGET FIRED, IM TOTES GONNA PEE ON HER. AND I FUCKIN GKNOW WHAT A caps KEY IS SO DONT EVEN SAYSHIT.

MUCH LOVE.

LMFAO (A stands for ASHHOLE).

What is an ASHHOLE?

oy vey.

Is this all a plug for plum tv in the same way patrick moberg was a viral ad for blackbook.com?

http://gothamist.com/2009/06/23/video_hamptons_hotspot_georgica_pul.php

^this is a plum TV thing that JDS wrote on as though it was actual news.

I smell conspiracy.

i've been saying that the whole time. She's a blogger and knows exactly what is going on.

How else would she get people to read her twitter and watch her youtube videos?

Except she shut down all of her accounts, Einstein.

CONSPIRACY ALERT CONSPIRACY ALERT

John Del Signore, if that is his real name, is friends with the people over at plum tv. He has posted some of their non-news news stories on here in the past...and somehow this girl, a news blockbuster for gothamist, works for them as well?

DO YOU NOT SEE HOW WE ARE BEING PLAYED?

For shame! I am calling the government on gothamist!

...actually I don't care.

But what is up with this incestuous story on the real?

wtf, this story has so many folds, Police fraudulent reporting? or NYC post Fraudulent reporting? and now perhaps Gothamist? Man, I need some Kool Aid. Oh Yeah.

yes, please, drink the kool aid. I'll even fetch it from yonder cauldron for you. The one next to Jim Jones. I think it's grape.

Massive Backfire.

So you either get 1.6 million from the NYPD by blogging your story (as in the case of the guy pulled off his bike)

or you get fired from your job.

I don't think either risk is one worth taking. Keep some things private people.

"So you either get 1.6 million from the NYPD by blogging your story (as in the case of the guy pulled off his bike)"

Fail: a) The cyclist was violently tackled off his bicycle by a rookie cop with anger issues then was charged with assault based on a false police report filed by said rookie cop and partner. b) The incident was a non-headline until people tracked down a tourist's video taping of the incident. c) The cyclist did not speak to the press or address any of the issues publicly until some time passed after the incident.

FYI, she'd be suing the Post for libel, not slander.

it really is not a he said and she said, she said has confirmed witnesses and he said has an unconfirmed witness that he or the NY Post has made up to vilify her as anti-semitic.

This whole thing has gotten so out of hand, and everything seems to be pretty much hearsay at this point. I'm sure that both he and she did or said things they regret, but I doubt she would be dumb enough to say the things claimed by some untraceable witness (I also think that if he did say the things she claimed, they were not meant to be interpreted the way they were).

She should have done what she was told, shut up, and paid a fine. Anything that happens to her at this point is really a direct result of her own actions... While I do think it is wrong for her boss to fire her over alleged (and likely invalidly attributed) remarks, if I were her boss, I would fire her for making such a spectacle of herself on the internet, especially for a new media company. There is little value, at this point, that she could add to a new media company as her notoriety would detract from their purpose and message (albeit vapid as it is)

Maybe there is some sort of secret NYPD/Post/Hassidic cabal, but I doubt it (even though there likely is a NYPD/Post cabal). At the same time, you should never argue with a cop and start a fight; as big of a-holes as many of them are, you will never ever win that argument and likely get punished more for even starting it (even if it's totally unfair).

"everything seems to be pretty much hearsay at this point"

Umm...everything was hearsay from the start. Nothing has happened yet.

Plum TV? Did you check out their website? It's basically Colbert Platinum, except it's not a joke.

"The Plum TV network is 24/7 television on local basic cable and online for America’s most beautiful and treasured communities. These beaches and mountain resorts are the places America’s affluent go to rejuvenate. And Plum makes dedicated local programming that reflects the authentic interests, passions and lifestyle of the people who love to spend time there."

Interesting. How much of their audience happens to be Jewish, you think? Bet that factors into the CEO's irritation.

They did remove their piece about the Madoffs. Give them that?

I don't think the alleged remarks are an issue as much as the unwanted attention. Plum TV's employees are supposed to highlight the obnoxious behavior of socialites, not of themselves.

dogs and cats should be allowed on transit if they are leashed, stupid laws!

Right, and you're going to clean up all the shit and pee that's going to fill the subway platform. Fantastic!

How would you distinguish it from the bum excreta already there?

Clean them all let god sort them out.

If Brodigan did make such comments, she is indeed a horrible person. If the cop did say, "If you're going to act like a woman I'm going to treat you like a woman," he too is nothing more than scum. I don't know Brodigan personally, but if she's as crazy as indicated by others who have interacted with her, it seems feasible under such circumstances. In the latter example, I unfortunately have been the victim of numerous instances of sexist behavior from Hasidic men, so it wouldn't surprise me.

In any case, most of us will never know for sure, so speculation is pointless.

Felix, you obviously have zero understanding of the law.

what law? Your Law??? Nope, i don't have any understanding or interest in your law. NY Post has not produced this witness that claimed Chrissie made anti-semitic remarks and there are witnesses that assert Chrissie's claims. So I am inclined to believe Chrissie until the NY Post and NYPD produces Ms. Delgado.

What exactly are you looking for? You want the NYPD to immediately produce the witness JUST FOR YOU Felix?

Once the investigation is over, you will have your witness and statement, but you still won't be satisfied with the outcome.

Felixthecat, you have no shame, this is clear. Have a little respect.

Billed and charged. Pay up, Felixthecat2.

Your Law???

what are you: an east german mercenary mistakenly revealing himself to john mcClane over the phone while referring to fort knox?

we all suffer by the same laws... the ones that sadly protect your inane ranty-ness.

we don't all suffer by the same law, don't drink the kool-aid. Laws are interpreted and applied subjectively. I am not german, nitwit.

swing and a miss, dipshit.

don't drink the kool-aid It's comforting to know you reference a tragedy to make a subtle point about a story like this.

You keep stating how little importance this story is to you yet you do follow it and comment on it. oh, the irony.

that is not the correct use of the word irony. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=irony

in the grand scheme of things-it is pretty insignificant. I follow the story out of curiosity-nothing more nothing less. What is ironic is that you ramble on about the inhumanity of Israel's attacks yet are rather glib while referring to a horrific event in history. You can copy and paste links into your replies as much as you want to-I find it amusing you have the energy to do this. Perhaps you will be fired for spending so much time on this site when you should be working... If that is the case i will support your superior's decision to shitcan you at the drop of a hat. Until then, don't drink any Flavor-Aid

LOL, I do have lots of energy, I am eating, reading and typing at this moment and if the phone rings then I will also be talking. Why all the interest in me??? i got a girl already and she is a keeper so move on buddy.

whats his name?

No interest really-don't flatter yourself... So how is that beard working out for you?

LOL, beard? you don't have interest in me and you want to know if I have a beard. LOL. I shave clean, find someone else to beat to. LOL

whatever you say
