It is, and I also think she was a d*mn fool to put her child in that situation myself.
I agree. Most people amazingly don’t calculate the possibility of mayhem in large crowds.
I just can’t stomach the thought of standing in line with so many shallow idiots. I know that sounds elitest, but, frankly, mayhem usually doesn’t break out among thoughtful, composed individuals, and those people either shop online, do their shopping earlier, or simply buy what they can in a normal environment. Any adult who camps out 48 hours for a cellphone belongs in isolation somewhere. I can maybe see teenagers doing something like that (I camped out for enough concert tickets in my youth) but it just amazes me how immature and selfish adults have become.
