Heard a good story on this on NPR and the birdwatcher's response in the interview was extremely classy, including that she didn't necessarily need to be stained by this for the rest of her life, but he wouldn't comment on whether she deserved to be fired.
Which is very, very magnanimous of him given that she could have gotten him killed.
I'd like to see her charged with filing a false police report. And IF she had mentioned a gun (she didn't) it should be attempted murder.
I try to avoid the C* word, even though I appreciate the British way of using it a lot. It's fairly equivalent to the N* word. Besides, there's already a perfect way of describing this person: "Karen".
