Everyone who is acting like it’s some grievous sin...
Yeah, I don't think her behavior was great, but there's a shit ton of worse stuff out there, and words are words. The issue isn't what she did, it's one word she used. Fuck the outrage. I don't have to like what she said, to think this becoming a national story isn't absurd. And I'll have her back over the people going after her, because their behavior has been even worse.
Also, while I think adults probably shouldn't call kids names in general (self control is a thing), but if this kid really was going through someone else's stuff, he needed to be disciplined...as did the parents, wherever they were. I'd rather she snap at this kid, than let him continue his bad behavior without being called out.
