      1. I want to clearly address my open & public identification and shaming of brutal white supremacists & bigots. I publicly shame men for their public actions. They earned the scorn. They've each caused tremendous pain & intended to do so without consequence. I reject that.

      8. So no, @juliaioffe - I don't have any reservations for the consequences these men have suffered as a result of their own public bigotry and violence. The system does not hold them accountable. Not at all. They went unchecked until we stepped in. I have no reservations.

      9. This notion that we've done Aaron wrong, that he "doesn't seem like a very nice person," but that he should suffer no consequences for his public bigotry, threats, and violence is about the whitest thing I've read in my entire life. It's absurd.https://twitter.com/juliaioffe/status/997277752008028160 …

      Aaron Schlossberg doesn’t seem like a very nice person, but does that merit harassing him in the street, kicking him out of his work space, having people trying to revoke his legal license? Imagine this happening to someone you agree with and see how you feel.

      10. In the United States you have freedom of speech. That means you can be a public bigot without getting arrested for it. That's all it means. It also means you can be kicked out of your office for it. Or have mariachi bands play at your home.https://twitter.com/juliaioffe/status/997277752008028160 …

      11. It's apparently easy for people who don't suffer public bigotry to say how much kinder & gentler those who do suffer it should be treating the men & women who victimize them. They must be held accountable. Lack of accountability got us here.https://twitter.com/juliaioffe/status/997277752008028160 …

      12. I spend about 30 hours a week behind the scenes identifying public bigots, assessing threats across the country, advising organizations & people on what this means for them. By in large the entire law enforcement community has left us to do this work all on our own.

          13. Anyway, it is my hope that bigots in America are coming to understand that they can choose to harass or attack people, but millions of us will make sure they are known for it for the rest of their lives. That's your choice. Try it and see what happens. //End of Thread

          She realized everyone disagreed with her, so she tried to walk it back... after blaming everyone else on twitter for being a "mob". The irony of using that term while criticizing someone who literally spends time helping victims identify their attackers from mobs is insane.

          That's one interpretation. Maybe she reconsidered her position because of everyone else's opinion? God forbid we give someone the benefit of the doubt. And who did she criticize specifically?

          If she reconsidered her position instead of blaming others for attacking her over it, maybe she could have voiced it with a phrase like "my bad, I was wrong/I saw it differently but didn't think about (blank)". She criticized twitter for disagreeing with her. Called them a mob.

          Believe me, I'm not trying to focus on criticizing her for her callout; opinions are definitely allowed to change. But like the racists, just cuz you change your public stance does not render you immune to the consequences of your previous stance. Gotta face the music.

          without drawing equivalences, both (ALL) sides demonstrate a mob mentality on here. with that being said, i think public shaming is the right way to go in many cases, and in that particular case. still, we should proceed with caution. and make sure we don't act like a mob.

          so imo, it's reasonable to both think the tactic is legitimate and be concerned about it. precisely because of its power and potential for backsliding into the mob mentality.

          Until we as a society DEMAND that all law enforcement entities #purge their ranks of #racists, #bigots and violent sociopaths, this behavior will continue to be ignored, tacitly condoned, and/or actively perpetuated by the very police that should be stopping it.
