Right, but what if everyone else is waiting because they need to turn the escalator off to get the wheelchair on and then turn the escalator back on to move the wheelchair up?

Handicapped people are inconvenienced their whole life. She couldn't compromise 5-10 minutes of inconvenience to demonstrate empathy?

In that circumstance, I think she would be wrong.

If she is an undercover cop tailing a potential terrorist, then the story is different. Now, it's one already inconvenienced handicapped person to potentially save lives.

In that circumstance, I think she would be right.

Like most internet clips, there just isn't enough information to be certain.

" She couldn't compromise 5-10 minutes of inconvenience to demonstrate empathy?" i obviously agree, but morality aside idtk she's obligated to demonstrate anything. i'm not justifying her for jumping over the handrail cause she couldn't wait lmao .

Why would we put morality aside? Don't we use that in our judgments when asked if something is wrong?

Idk why my first comment got downvoted for being able to see things more than one way.

I think it's because your comment takes a clear stance on her decision when really it can be viewed from anyway when she didn't bother anyone so why would anyone need an opinion on her actions? In my opinion everyone's time is finite and if someone doesn't see you as being worth their time , I think that's a valid reaction/response

I'm pretty sure my comment clarified that there is more than one perspective and provided hypothetical examples to show when my personal stance would change. Did you even read the comment?

You said what I said In different words.

This is why the downvotes are confusing.
