Judging by the dude's other skeets, I'm thinking it's b/c they agreed to do it in the first place.

Yup. We brough The Kid to one of the first marches in June, strangers gave us a bottle of wather and one of those battery-run fans. (OTOH, that day was also The Kid's crash course in Cantonese cursing).
