4. So, IOW, a little knowledge overcomes stupidity.
I am willing to give this guy a chance. He got caught up in the moment. The excitement. But it seems to be just as they claim with homosexuality...if you actually KNOW SOMEONE who is gay, you tend to be much more tolerant. Here, Reichert just screamed at a stranger...but now that he KNOWS SOMETHING about the man's situation, he feels remorse.

That is the ultimate message here. KNOWLEDGE. Ignorance is a cesspool of hate. Knowledge leads to enlightenment.

Reichert appears to have taken the first steps towards enlightenment.
