Mob Mentality. Villagers with pitchforks.

None of this is new.

I so totally agree. This reflex to immediately shame anybody that a mob determine has transgressed is ugly.

It's not just typical social media sites, either. It must be said thought that certain Stranger stories come to mind. The one about a waitress making up a story about a receipt and the supposed "blackface" incident of that model you guys doxxed on Facebook. Among others.
I hope you all will learn your lesson as well.

As far as Trash TV goes, Jerry Springer ain't got nothing on Morton Downey, Jr.

@2: I concur.
