You're trying to turn this from the Paulites' actions to Hannity's actions and move the goal posts at the same time. Uh, no. If Hannity is such a puss that he'd let an obviously upset woman cover his back, then so be it. It doesn't negate the following them down the street yelling, obviously cursing in at least one or two instances, and Hannity is obviously uncomfortable in spite of trying to put on a 'cool' face about it, else he wouldn't be walking at such a fast pace to get away from them. "And an “angry mob” would definitely be YELLING at someone, VERY AUDIBLY, more than once, to STOP THROWING SNOW, right?"

Gosh, yer right! One or two people out of a few dozen or more actually had a conscience, so "angry mob" mus not be an apt description! groan...

Um, no. An angry mob would have been cheering the snow balls; in fact, it is more likely that an angry mob would have all participated in it. What you had happen was likely one idyot throwing them and AT LEAST one person telling him to stop.

Yep...that’s “mob mentality” at its best.

And that’s just for stretchers.

Um no. I'm pointing out that ONE PERSON in the crowd appeared to behave more than poorly. That does not a mob make, nor angry mob for that matter, especially when it can be heard that at least one of the "mob" told him to stop.

Hannity's actions are a direct correlation to what he likely felt. Any doctor or psychiatrist will tell you that people normally behave in particular ways, especially if they feel threatened. Sean Hannity WALKED all the way to the building. He smiled as he entered. Likely it was masking the anger he felt.

I don't believe he felt threatened by an "angry mob" because I truly believe had he felt that way: 1) he would have ensured that there was greater distance between the woman and the "angry mob" 2) the woman would have been pulled away and protected, not continue following along behind him; 3) he (and she) would likely have run had they truly felt afraid for his life; 4) she likely wouldn't have turned around to say "stop it" if she felt her life was in imminent danger either because of glass bottles being thrown or because of the "angry mob."
