I spoke with people from the Cubs. The man who grabbed the ball on the widely seen video had actually already helped the little boy get a ball earlier. The young man has a game used ball and a Javy Baez ball. All is well. Guy is A-OK so let it go people.

How dare you post that—this is the internet sir! I contend the perceived nature of his transgression is so grave that any possible mitigating alternative facts should be suppressed with zeal!

Sure, sure—all have sinned. But this guy should be tried for war crimes, the proof is right there on the internet.

Yes, actually there are three sides. On one side, there's the ballboy who tossed a ball to a kid in the stands. He figured he was doing something nice for the kid. The second side of the story is that of the kid who saw an adult reach under his seat and steal the ball that was given to him after he dropped it. He was sad. And finally there is the guy who stole the ball from the kid. He thinks it was the greatest thing he ever did.

Those are the three sides of this story.

And Ben Shapiro defended pedophile freak James Gunn so why would anyone with a moral bone in their body rely on him as a credible defense witness?

...not to mention the tweet you posted looks contrived in order to defend that jerk who took the ball away from the kid.

Yep.

Gonna need a lot more than one guy’s tweet.

The chances of a guy getting multiple foul balls from the same seat aren’t real high.

You might have had a point if it were reported from only one source. But it is not.

The bigger point, above the small % of real douche’s who would really take a ball from a kid, is “judgment porn” - that we are all falling in love with condemning from afar and calling out people publicly, without knowing all the facts and emotions.

For example, what if this Twitter “bald guy” next to the ball-stealer is real?

He saw the ball guy toss it to a child, then kept it after the kid dropped it, instead of handing it back to the kid- and the douche-bags around him applauded it too...

People are really getting stupid.

He would have been on TV as Mr Nice guy if he had tapped the kid on the shoulder and handed it to him. Now he is Mr. Douche-bag.

mother is holding the ball. Father is smiling since he got the ball for two kids to the left of mommy dearest. they are kind of in shock. Grandfather to the far right is just an evil **** ******. the kids will remember this for the rest of their lives and no matter what happens they will believe their father stole the ball from a little kid. The laughter by the grandfather and the smiling dad reeks of just evil and low morals.
