    Almost anyone can be seen as a hero or a zero if the right 15 second clip is captured. We love it when our best moments hit social media, but everyone also piles on when we are caught at our worst (or what appears to be bad, even if it not).

    It is amazing how many haters emerge like in this case, when there is so much more to the story.

      The incredible thing is the husband came in for bashing not plausibly based on his actions in the video but based on mutating narrative.

      Go from "X great, Y OK" to "X great, Y terrible".
