How mobs work: a bunch of people incite and threaten violence. A few people actually carry it out. People in mob claim people carrying out violence were acting on their own and claim to not be part of a mob. Blood on everyone's hands = blood on no one's hands.

Fear prevents people some speaking up. Mobs claims that not speaking up against the accused is synonymous with supporting the accused. Out of fear more people join the mob. Cycle perpetuates.

Just general advice: unless your business is politics, stay out of politics. Not as an excuse to act cowardly it's just that I've seen people go completely crazy over their warped ideologies, damn the consequences to anyone else.

It's becoming my business now. Unfortunately. I can't stand by at this point and conveniently ignore it. Too many voices have cried out and asked me to continue to take a stand, because they can't for fear of reprisal.
