"Reality be damned."

Cops, Media Applaud Local Busybody for Bravely Harassing Dad Who Briefly Left Kid Alone - Hit & Run : Reason.com: ""Worst-first" thinkers don't care about what is likely to happen. All that matters is what a bystander, cop, court, or CPS official imagines could happen. And since Herrmann imagined himself driving off with the kid, dad basically left his son to be kidnapped by a stranger. And while that happens to be pretty much the rarest crime of all, it is a popular one in the minds of folks like Herrmann, and the folks who applauded him on his Facebook page...

But still. Billion-to-one odds be damned. Circumstances be damned. Reality be damned. Time for the state to investigate this dangerous dad and salute a true hero. *Update: Police have arrested the dad, Nathaniel Galloway. He is charged with "endangering the welfare of a child." Unbelievable."
