The focus on this incident really gets my goat. Any grown woman who hasn’t found herself setting by the side of the road with her head in her hands either literally or figuratively at least once has lived a very blessed and sheltered life.
I find the assumptions people make about this incident unkind, insensitive, boorish and sometimes the height of stupidity.
And a police officer gets involved and thinks she might be a danger to herself?
Ah! A male expert on where a woman who is in the throes of intense emotion will go for privacy. Absent a handy mountain top, an abandoned barn, a patch of woods; the freeway is a great alternative. Where could you be more alone? Everyone is moving at high speed, focused on where they are going, you are invisible. The noise blots out the sounds of your sobs and the thoughts in your head.
The police office spotted her because he is trained to look for anomalies and he took her in to cover his rear.
I am telling you something all of you who denigrate Cruz by referencing this incident need to hear. You are lower than low to drag thus into the public domain again and again over politics. How would your wife or daughter or mother feel if the same was done to them? What do you think these posts are doing for the reputation of conservatives among women? This stuff pops up on Google and Bing searches.
Unkind, insensitive, boorish and just plain stupid.
