A lot of stupid, gullible people out there
I've a had a lot of people tell me I'm too harsh on the people who fell for this scam...then they go on to say that "I would have fallen for it ...being intimidated by a cop on the phone."
Half-right: I may have started out believing it, but as soon as they started a strip search I would have said "get down here and do it yourself."
It's a very well done documentary, and MacDonalds does deserve a huge share of the blame for this, but that Boston cop made a really stupid tactical error (you'll see.)
Either way, very sad that there are people this stupid and this irresponsible and they are largely to blame for this whole sordid affair.
The "I was brought up to respect authority" excuse doesn't work here, not when the person is on the phone and not a physical threat.
The final verdict of the perp was a fitting way to tell the people of this country: smarten up, morons or else worse will happen.
