Copied and pasted from my current FB status, because I'm too irate to retype it. Just a small excerpt from my morning.
I just don't understand how some people can be so mean. Andrew and I were just verbally accosted and physically threatened by a woman who thought it was okay for her and her ten closest friends to stand directly in front of us at the Dragoncon parade, in a spot that we had been sitting in for ten minutes. I nicely asked if she wouldn't mind sitting down so Andrew could see. Then she went off. Highlights included (edited for language) "I can stand wherever the F I want," "I'll sit in the GD stroller if I feel like it," and "F your ugly child. He doesn't deserve to watch anyway." No police around. Hundreds of spectators who chose to do nothing, although I think I saw one or two videoing it on their phones. She got up in my face, inches away, and threatened Andrew and myself. This went on for over five minutes. Fearing for our safety at this point, and obvious that we weren't going to get to see the parade, we chose to leave. This was over an hour and a half ago and I'm still shaken. I hope there's a special place in hell for people like that.

My gosh! I can't believe no one stepped in. I can't even imagine someone saying mean things like that about an innocent child and threatening them. I hope they get pulled over or something on the way home.
I'm sick of people acting like this and it makes my blood boil.
She is a terrible, terrible piece of shit. I believe Karma is going to bite her in the ass hard, very soon. Hugs, no one deserves to go through that. I can't even imagine.

I am so disgusted with people. I'm so sorry such a piece of filth ruined your day. If I were there I would have said something or offered to get the police, or tried to get the attention off of you so you could get the police yourself.. I just don't know how people don't react in situations like this!
That's terrible, Muppet, and I'm sorry that happened to you. Some people's sense of entitlement is just mind blowing on it's own, but to go so over the top with it and actually verbally threaten and demean a toddler is disgusting.
I'm sorry! We had the incident earlier this year where douche man on the street screamed at Henry that he was a little shit who should go fuck himself. I did NOT handle myself well in my reaction and I still get the rage when I think about it. I am constantly shocked by people's behavior and attitudes, sadly.
I saw this on facebook earlier today and at first I was mad, then I felt sad for her. I realized how awful her life must be that doesn't have someone as wonderful as Andrew in it! And when she saw the two of you having such a good time she realized how sad and lonely she was and wanted to make you feel bad about it because well, misery loves company.
So even though I really just wanted to say "F HER!" I really should say, it's sad that someone is that miserable that they must say awful things to someone else, let alone someone they don't even know.
