    Wanting to discourage cruel, racist, or other negative behaviors is legitimate and desirable, but these insane privacy-violating social media mobs are clearly not having that effect. They serve some other function, and it's not to actually create better conditions in the world.

        More outrage over this than 18 years of illegal wars, torture, spying, inflation, etc. The population has been beaten into submission.

        Plus, they're lynch-mobs, not caring about what ACTUALLY happened; they see something they assume is evil, in their minds, and they want to DESTROY it, and damn the consequences, or reality of the situation.

        Not that you shouldn’t say this but it was obvious that SJW identity politics is a toxic brew of self-righteous hatred and resentment decades ago.

        Thanks Michael. Yours is the most responsible, broad, deep thinking, restorative response I’ve seen on this otherwise knee jerk, irresponsible punitive response to a symptomatic incident.

        the mechanisms for justice in place see that the nation's highest courts and offices are filled with corrupt swine, so it's not surprising people feel that they have to seek it for themselves.

        Have you actually addressed the validity of the media's narrative here or have you limited yourself to the response from the left to those assertions of racism?

        I don't think it's desirable at the scale of social media or if conducted by people that are not positioned or willing to help pick up the pieces after they destroy lives with barely a thought.

        Also when you don't wait for evidence and trust what turned out to be incredibly deceptive video from a single side. That's WHY the whole "There's two sides to every story" idiom exists in the first place!

        To a person who is actually impacted by those teens thought process, revealing their identities is the lone defense a victim of their hate has. Those teens will be the lawmakers, police, corporate leaders of the future. Society deserves a heads up as to who they really are.
