Media have also been doing similar for a long time in search of sensationalist stories that drum up outrage.
For example, the story a few days ago about the white couple in Lake Orion who pointed guns at a black family. The couple were vilified in the press and implications of racism were made.
The couple has been charged and in my opinion (and presumably of the law) they were too quick to pull their (legally carried) guns out, and they will have to answer for this and the man was fired from his job. However watching the full video tells a very different story then
the headlines implied.

There was another one recently where a middle eastern grocery store in the US had their lease pulled because of tweets by the owner’s teenage daughter. Mob justice is bad, but mob justice against people simply for association is terrifying. Ask HN: Will you allow your children to have social media associated with their real name?
