bad internet...
Hi Eric- I find we are usually on the same sheet of music, but not this time.
I watched the video again, in slow motion, and can offer these observations: 1) Most importantly, and concerning the original point of the post, the internet witch hunt went terribly awry (shock!) and was grossly wrong. That's awful for the improperly accused woman. 2) I've seen countless scrambles too. You are correct in that the father wasn't violent; instead, he was a sneak. This doesn't justify what he did. 3) There were actually 2 people, not one, within crouching distance of retrieving the ball. They didn't get the chance, despite easily being closest to it and clearly making an effort to track it. Hard to judge by video of course, I'd say the father snuck in from 15 feet away. I mean, was he hoping the other people had no spines, or did he actually believe his behavior was proper? Who knows, not good either way... 4) Try this mental exercise. Imagine yourself at the grocery in an aisle. You look down at the ground for an item on the bottom shelf, and bend to pick it up. As you do so, you notice a $50 bill on the ground next to you. Then you see a guy in your peripheral vision, who abandoned his cart 15 away, swoop in and grab the $50 as you are reaching for it. Said guy then scurries back to his cart, ignoring the fact that you are still crouched where the bill was, and apparently acting like he has all of a sudden become invisible. Would you say something to this guy? I would... 5) You called the East Coast behavior thing- I was thinking it, you called it. Neither party acted well, for sure. I am glad the Phillies stepped up for the young fan. Trent King
