I agree. Honestly I don't grasp the value in such stories except the typical clickbaiting via emotional content. Putting statements like the one in the article out there as fast as possible can be classified mostly as self preservation, that in itself is natural. While I do believe that there are people among them that actually finally got a wakeup call and regret their actions, I do not think there is any reason to accept the signaling of regret of an individual person that participated in this as genuine.

> I agree. Honestly I don't grasp the value in such stories except the typical clickbaiting via emotional content. I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but this story has some value in disrupting the stereotypes many people probably have about the mob members (e.g. low education/rural people).
