I’m not surprised to read this, as it only takes 1-2 people to do these sorts of things, and some people are capable of it. They may not be totally mentally stable, or they feel desperate, or confident they can get away with it, or all of the above. American history is full of these sorts of incidents of harassment, violence, and sometimes even murder. The history of the labor movement or civil rights movement is sobering. It doesn’t take a CEO making a call to some assassin on the corporate payroll. Usually the reality is far more banal: a supervisor or coworker or neighbor who just takes matters into their own hands. To be clear, I’m NOT claiming that that is what happened to Josh Dean; I’m speaking generally about people getting harassed for trying to do what they think is the right thing.
