Syag, the scenarios you describe are all real and true. But they have nothing to do with this particular mother and incident. There is no reason to think my suggested scenario isn’t pretty close to the truth. Unless you accept the media narrative. Because without the media narrative there’s nothing to suggest what I described isn’t exactly what happened.
One thing I’m willing to bet dollars-to-donuts is that the time-frame from when she went into the store until when she came running out, will turn out to be that what the media suggested and published on that got it very wrong.
