maybe im just ethically lazy or something but im pretty firmly of the opinion that nobody fucking knows anything about anything and anybody who is at least trying to be decent is decent and shouldn't really worry too much about this sort of thing
after the fact
asking K whether they knew J might have been a good thing to do, because if they actually know them and know they have diabetes and that they have a history of endangering themselves by chugging corn syrup then sure maybe you should listen to her. but regardless K is being a shithead with how they treat you, a complete stranger who is just trying to help
i really wouldn't worry about it - she was being an ass and in my experience the majority of the time people are an ass to a complete stranger it's because they're an ass
that being said it's impossible to know what was ultimately the "right" thing to do. maybe she did know J and people are constantly trying to give them soda and she was just frustrated or having a bad day or whatever. maybe she was upset you were giving them a drink because she was a psychopath trying to poison a homeless person with her drink.
nobody knows and you will never know. you did your best and that's good enough
Anyone that when talking to someone uses terms like "hipster" or "don't make this political" is a fucking piece of shit and doesn't actually want to be honest in saying "stop giving this person stuff I want them to suffer". Tell this person this is a free fucking country and you will do as you please since buying something for someone is fuckin' legal.
