If they truly believed, coming from a place of compassion, that the children were in danger because they weren’t being safely taken care of, they would have attempted to help. It’s not like they would have been doing something better with their time otherwise; they were sitting in a grocery line. If they truly cared about the “danger” the children were in, their actions would have been to make sure the children were safe by helping.
It baffles me how hard people work to defend people that have no defense for their completely inappropriate actions. It makes me wonder who these people are when they walk out into the world; Jeremy, are you the person staring into the eyes of a person struggling and judging them, being rude to them, and mocking them? Because that’s who you’re defending, and that’s how it makes you look.
