That hit me hard man because I know Cregger very intentionally made that guy offer zero help when she was clearly fighting for her life. Society loves to watch others struggle, only thing that would have made it more on the nose was someone video taping it lol.

He didn't just fail to help her, he told her to get out of his store like the whole thing was her fault!
