This is one of the rare times that I'm going to ask you to please watch the video first. It will give you a very clear idea of what went on yesterday.

Yesterday, a video went up, went mini-viral and came back down. It was about a little red-headed boy whose favorite t-shirt, which had a picture of President Barack Obama and the word "Hope" on it, was defaced and ruined by a Lubbock store owner who may or may not have been a friend of the family. The woman refused to reveal the bully because she didn't want his kids to be put on blast.

The woman telling the story appears to be the boy's aunt or grandma or something. You can tell she has great love for the kid and some kind of relation or guardianship over him. This one demonstrated the most grace, patience and calm when telling this story.

Myself, I couldn't make it through my silly re-telling of the story without getting hopping mad. I guess this woman showed further grace by removing the video. Some might think she sold it to a national news magazine, but there's no proof of that.

I hope some of you will learn a little something from the video. Some of you are letting your views go WAY TOO FAR. You have let the media (or somebody) whip you into a frenzy over crap that has little effect on your daily life.

It's time to choose what kind of person you want to be, because right now your group has a lot of bullies in it that want to push people, even little kids, around.
