Because whenever anyone chooses to be a critic and judge of others, they see something of themselves that would have to exist in some form at some level within them. And always telling you their story, never yours," echoed another.
While another added: "So sorry, that must have been very frightening and upsetting. What an unpleasant man, the chances are that he’s horrible to lots of other people too."
"I’m getting more scared to go out nowadays, so many things like this going on," another Twitter user replied.
