@nicksalt @eleeper people ask that constantly as an excuse to justify bigotry to the point that it's a meme. ie, cops beat a POC to death on a traffic stop and someone comments "that's awful!!" and then a racist replies "well that POC might have been a gang member, id like to hear the rest of the story."

that's what this was. an attempt to blame this woman for not being able to get an ID. or an attempt to paint her as the villain by inventing ambiguity where there is none
