Say what you will but this shows how much dedication random people on the internet can bring up if they want to do something... even if it's as destructive as this... Amazing and terrifying.

"Mob Rule" is terrifying. It seems many people are willing to embrace a good witch hunt... for a good cause, of course. I'm sure Sunil[falsely accused Boston Bomber] would agree, you know, if he wasn't dead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunil_Tripathi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunil_Tripathi

  It's kind of relevant, for anyone not familiar with with the details, that his death (likely suicide) had nothing to do with the witch hunt.

    I do not know what his state of mind was before his name & picture were splashed across every media outlet in the world, but I would presume that stress had an affect.

      He went missing before the bombing. > Tripathi had been missing for a month prior to the April 15, 2013 bombings.

        I noted the downvotes and went investigating. "[His] body was found... April 23, 2013." He was identified by dental records, so body was decomposed &/or carrion, is there any information that suggests he was dead prior to 4/15? So the two middle eastern fellas in running attire w/ backpacks didn`t turn out to be Tripathi, as I assumed. I am assuming again, but I bet they felt some consternation at being accused. Wasn`t another person falsely identified, as well? My point stands.

  His suicide was before the bombings/witchhunt even happened.

    For my edification, could you point me to pertinent forensics that determined he was dead prior to the bombing? I have not located any postmortem details.

  Do “for the power of good” and “as a service”, uh, align? It would be the favourite tool of terrible people.
