The thing is though, the outrage mob usually doesn't care about facts. Their outrage is always based on the heat of the moment. It even seems this mode has been spilling over into our justice system lately, which is a very unfortunate and a sad state of affairs.

- emsign 7y agoYour comment sounds familiar. I read it very often on the internet these days under various topics.

- steveeq1 7y agoYes, remember the covington kids? I happened to be with a black guy when it was on reddit and he said that he wanted to "fuck his ass up". WITHOUT TAKING THE TIME TO EXPLORE THE OTHER SIDE. If you point this out to someone who engages in outrage culture, they don't want to hear it, they've already made up their mind. Face it, the media words things in a way to generate clicks and ratings points, not for accuracy.
