A Connecticut woman who was berated by a man who called her "disgusting" for breast-feeding her baby in public at a Target store is thanking customers and employees who defended her.
Jessie Maher captured part of the confrontation Monday in the cafe of a Torrington store on video and posted it to Facebook. The video was viewed nearly 3 million times and shared nearly 43,000 times by Tuesday afternoon.
Maher says the man swore at her and insulted her. Maher is heard on the video saying she's shaking.
One woman comes to her defense, saying: "You shouldn't be ashamed of feeding your baby." Two male Target employees then confront the man and escort him away from the cafe.
Connecticut state law and Target policy protect nursing in public.

dannym3141says...Perhaps seeing the tit was an unwelcome reminder of the type of person he is
newtboyjokingly says...Maybe he's upset that this was the closest he's gotten to a naked boob in decades?
Mordhausjokingly says...Dunno, he looked like he had some reasonably sized boobs himself.

newtboyjokingly says...I actually had to fight myself from not adding "except when he looks in the mirror after a shower"...because at those times, he is a naked boob.
Dunno, he looked like he had some reasonably sized boobs himself.

bobknight33says...When the kid is hungry you got to do what you need to do.
Both sides are correct and wrong.
She could have go to her car or such for more privacy and the guy should have not been such a dick.
Target is wrong for being so one sided. However I can see taking that position just because the guy being dickish.
Asmosays.../sigh
He has the right to be offended. He does not have the right to be insulated from offense by forcing everyone around him to remove themselves from his vicinity (which is what you are suggesting).
eg. Hey, I'm offended by you, mebbe you should go write your posts down on a piece of paper and chuck it in the bin instead of posting here. You know, to protect my delicate sensibilities?
Bitch please... \X D
