I've noticed a fair amount of PerpSympathy has invaded FR of late. Not on my part of course. The police are usually trying to keep some level of civilization in public places for those who don't want to behave like third world cultures. The problem is, the police are not supported enough and have to constantly battle liberals who have a calling to defend perps of all sizes.
I don't think a lot of us are defending bad behavior (I know I'm not). I'm just wondering if the woman's intent was to obey by putting the candy in her mouth. I think it goes without saying that if she took food down stairs she was absolutely wrong.
