Woman acquitted in heated confrontation over dog pee outside BC sushi restaurant

27

A B.C. court has acquitted a woman accused of going on a racist tirade against a North Vancouver sushi restaurant owner two years ago.

Sylvia Lynne Taylor was charged with causing a disturbance after a video capturing a part of the August 2022 exchange circulated widely on social media.

Nobu Sushi owner Edward Hur said that the altercation began after he told Taylor not to let her dog pee on the front of his restaurant.

  1. let’s be honest here. I don’t think the dog peed in front of the door. I guarantee you the dog didn’t pee right in front of the door. This old man is just old and being annoying. I really don’t think that she took her dog and stopped the dog right in front of the door of this guy’s restaurant and then the dog peed, this old guy over-exaggerated and I do agree with the woman. She probably had to spend a lot of time and money dealing with this nonsense. The store owner should be fined and be forced to pay the woman’s expenses.

  2. Why? Well…don't know but some things out there are just not worth arguing about…?.
    If it were someone dropping a duce on the hood of your vehicle whilst preforming an arched handstand well.."maybe" but really? I'd congradulate the individual on their cirque de sole abilites after calling the police..but getting in a foolish argument over a dog letting loose in front of a restaraunt that you don't run and starring on the evening news while going full on karen…
    Oh I can feel that age where one best stay at home coming up rather quick too…?.
    Hopefully weed is still legal then and cheap…
    I really don't like the smell of that crap..but figure come retirement if I live that long..going to need bales of it in order to cope with the insanity of others..

  3. I was walking my dog outside an apartment building entrace (the entrance is on a sidewalk) ,my dog started sniffing near the door when some lady came out yelling at me and accusing me of letting my dog pee in front of the door I asked her where's the pee? but she wouldn't believe me and kept yelling ,I walked away ,and yes I was mad.

  4. Her behaviour was obnoxious and deplorable. The judge said so themself. Yet everyone here is jumping to the conclusion that she's innocent. They just didn't have enough video to convict her. There's a difference.

  5. Shes guilty. Nobody makes up a stupid story as this. BUT!!!!! The owners complaining of her of racism is also ridiculous. She most likely complianed of their race not living in Vancouver before her… well that's kinda true. Not her or the restaurant race card, but the Indians were here in Vancouver before anyone. Blame your federal immigrant office if you disagree with too much immigration
