After watching him and seeing all those negative comments about what he did and said during the interview, naturally, people will react to it in a way that will show that they can do better and deal with the situation much better than him.
What could you have done if you were in his place? Could you really handle that situation? Of course you can...
He may have acted arrogantly, but only those who was on the receiving end of his arrogance, has the right to disrespect him (in a way).
Some of us may have done something as stupid as this one but may be lucky enough not to have a TV reporter and cameraman standing by to witness that stupidity.
I am not trying to defend him, but after all that has been said about him, he really needed a break from all of these.
After all, to err is human...
