If you stand in the supermarket promoting hate speech I would not be surprised if people started throwing eggs at you.
People are rightly outraged at Anning's comment, there is nearly 1.2 million signature on a petition calling for him to be booted out for his comment so not surprised some one decided to egg him and he was probably lucky it was not a brick.
If it was some Muslim making hateful comments I don't think you would be outraged if some one egged them or would you defend them too?
In the eyes of most think the kid should not have done it but have no sympathy for Anning
