One of the real tragedies here is the willingness of people to simply believe a magazine headline as the truth and/or the whole story.
They are convinced of it's correctness to the point that they are already calling for punishment from the transgressor.
I am reminded of George Floyd, where everyone said the officer who knelt on his neck needed to be charged with murder. I remember "Hands up, don't shoot!" lie the media spread about Michael Brown. I remember the George Zimmerman lie, I remember the Kyle Rittenhouse lie, I remember dozens of examples where the media was deliberately sensationalizing a story, or reporting it in a very biased manner.
I find the claim, as reported, dubious. I don't think there is nearly enough information to arrive at a conclusion other than that the passenger was being a jerk.
Did he endanger the girl? I doubt it, but who knows? Maybe.
But that asks the larger question. Why would her mother dare take her anywhere where she might run across the smell of peanuts?
*THAT* is the real irresponsible person.
Why are you spending so much time trying to discredit a young girls medical condition and close call with death?
