I have no idea if this guy did or didn’t do these things. It’s also not my problem, so it’s not really for me to know. But his argument is one I think a lot about… how we’ve gotten to knee jerk reactions to everything with immense consequence for people’s lives via arguments that wouldn’t past muster in a real court, but become verdicts in public court. Mob rule and violence is one of the worst instincts in humanity, and is exactly why we have real courts with real laws and real processes.
I know this presents difficulties for women, minorities, etc in many situations in which they’ve been wronged, but the solution isn’t more mob justice via Twitter. It’s to find ways to shift culture and laws to bring justice thru effective and measured means.
