I'm with you Mary, for if it hadn't been for her, none of this would be taking place.
She's being criticized and bashed, and folks are putting words in her mouth that she never said to start with. I think Pres Obama needs to apologize to her on behalf of all those who are guilty of this.
What's happening to her surely is sending a negative message to anyone that might make a similar call like she did. They might be inclined to turn the other way and ignore a like situation, rather than reporting it.
