He wrote, “The uncle of the green pepper girl explains that what happened in the clip of the girl eating the green chili was just a joke, and asking others not to rush to judgement.”
But netizens weren’t having it.
This comment goes, “Do not excuse a criminal. Pepper raises the level of acidity to the highest degree, which causes cramping, especially for children. The pain in her eyes is of this wrongdoing. May God help her.”
Earlier this week, Hassan Mohamed Hussein took to his Facebook page recently to showcase the video of the girl eating the green chili that took the internet by storm.
She then can be seen tearing up and crying at the spiciness while the man laughs and hands her some money.
Many netizens have since spoken out, condemning the man’s actions.
This comment goes, “Her tears stirred my heart, this is so inhumane!”
