I feel like it's a heard mentality to cripple any weakness found in others. We're constantly told that "everyone wins a trophy" yet that's not the case. It's debilitating because not everyone wins, but told we all do. We wind up thinking that those who aren't must really suck, but that's hardly the truth. Then we absolutely butcher people in social media over knee jerk reactions.
Right when the Texas pool party cop fiasco happened, one woman was there and was seen in a picture defending/hitting/attacking kid...(looked like she was hitting a kid that was fighting) anyway, someone recognized her, knew where she worked, then plastered it all over social media her picture, place of employment, and boss...asking people to call and complain, she SHOULD BE FIRED!!!!
A principal made a post of Facebook, defending the cops. People attacked him on Facebook, demanding he be fired. He was.
Regardless of ANYONES views on if Zimmerman should have been in jail or not....the department of justice had to take over, the president supported trayvon, attorneys went to work, and a jury deliberated. They came to the conclusion they did based on the evidence...even with federal oversight and support by POTUS, they let him go.
Same thing happened with officer Crowley and professor skip gates. The president supported his old professor, called out the police dept...and with that much legal , oversight...the best outcome was the beer summit.
Some girl was flipping a bird and "pretending" to yell at a "quiet, respect please" sign at Arlington memorial....band wagoners found out where she worked, and drug her through the streets until she was fired.
Firefox cofounder was found to have donated $1,000 of his personal money to a group to block gay marriage. He was paraded until forced to step down from CEO.
We're looking for any chance to cripple someone, based on OUR perception of right and wrong. Nobody called out that rapper for tweeting what he thought was zimmermans address, which wound up terrifying an old couple...who wasn't Zimmerman.
We're tearing down the walls of a cake shop who didn't make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple...but what about the pastor who called some random cake shop asking for a cake saying "I DONT SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE" (as though them denying it meant they do support it) then called that cake shop out for their stance.
A picture makes the front page showing why they pirate movies...then we get pissed and want to sue because some Facebook page lifed your Reddit post.
We're a fucking stupid bunch of people that can't...stop or slow down...and wait for facts. We want to cut down anyone that goes against the heard, then put a bubble around anyone supported. It's conformation bias at its finest.
