I find it interesting that everyone is so focused on dissecting the morality of her actions. But I think we're missing the big picture...

1. Sanctimonious lectures on morality only serve to demonstrate that you have not walked in someone else's shoes. It shows a narrow band of thinking- ask yourself enough "what if" questions and you can find a reasonable explanation for any action. It may not be correct, but shouldn't we consider the possibility that we are NOT omnicient, that we may not know all the circumstances?

2. As soon as we make stupid mistakes ourselves, don't we want people to give us the benefit of the doubt? If you dropped a plate as a child and broke it, you wouldn't want to hear an adult say that you are obviously careless and you have no respect for other people's property. You'd want them to recognize that it was a mistake. Maybe a stupid one, but it doesn't define you as a person, does it?

A little compassion, people. It can't hurt.
