Unfortunately, this has become a weird pattern on twitter. Someone asks for help to identify someone, people put up suspects, and the mob decides if one person said they did it, they must have done it.
Twitter is, literally, a cesspool of mob outrage, where people feel empowered to ruin people's lives as long as they believe you did something wrong.
And it seems twitter doesn't care. I mean, doxing is supposed to be against the terms of service, so why wasn't that person perma-banned? Why weren't the people sending this person hate banned or at least given a short ban? Maybe some were, but this is a pattern that happens on twitter, obvious threats and other banable offences go ignored.
I know this can happen on other networks, but something about twitter has lead to it being the most vile of the social media sites. My guess is that it's not because of any ill intent, but just that they are wholly incompetent.
