The Polish, millionaire CEO who was caught on camera grabbing a hat from a young boy has said he made a “grave mistake” and has been given a “lesson in humility.” That’s a far cry from the earlier statement that media outlets falsely attributed to him, unapologetically claiming, “if you were faster you would have it.” Amy and T.J. talk about the rush to judgement and whether we can separate bad judgement from a bad human.

0:07.8 | It is September the second and the hat snatcher has apologized. |

0:15.5 | Apparently to a lot of people, that's not enough and think he should suffer much, much more. |
0:22.4 | And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Rooms. |

1:02.0 | bunch of stuff out. But you can clearly see he is handing the hat off his head to this seeming like |
