Her son could see those Muslims were jerking her around. Why couldn't she see it? I suspect she probably could. She just decided to report them anyway because they pissed her off. That's what happens when you give inordinate power to small minded people. Same thing with the airport inspects and air marshals--their power has gone to their heads. They pull guns on airplanes full of people, strip medal of honor winners of their prizes and humiliate young women by pawing through their underwear. Is this why we fought the American Revolution?
She said that they " might " have been playing a hoax. She felt that it was better to be safe, than sorry. You call that being " small minded " ? She had " power " ? Are yoy really this stupid, after being on FR, for such a long time ?
No, she did NOT report them, because , as you so ineligantly claim, she was pissed off. She reported their remarks, because she didn't KNOW if it was a hoax or for real. What part of " just in case ", are you having abject difficulty in comprehending ?
That's conjecture on your part.
The lady, rightly or wrongly, made a decision on the information available at hand, and after her son said to her that he thought the men were joking around. The men may have the "right" to say what they want and joke around, but many citizens believe they have a responsibility to report such incidents to law enforcement. The above two concepts are not mutually exclusive.
