Just trying to get some context on the situation since the video is focused on the kid (a common media tactic to attract attention). Over-an-out.
An ATM was blown up 3 blocks from my house the other night. I know what crappy areas are like.
I’m still trying to make the connection between litter and graffiti on the one hand and battering a child (or anyone) on the other. What realistically possible context could be relevant? Guess it’s easier to turn tail and run rather than clarify/explain what you meant by you’re not condoning it... but maybe there’s a lot of litter in the area. Or maybe you can’t. Let’s assume the place looks like a Staten Island landfill. How is that relevant to the battery of an innocent child?
BTW...It’s not an airport. You don’t have to announce your departure. But enjoy your flight anyway.
