I agree about the too-much-outrage-over-meh-shit problem, and even think it's the defining problem of our age (although, that is just because it is one form of "attention is the most important commodity now" theory — same root cause gives us new measles outbreaks and other self-owns).
But, it is worth noting in this case that the conduct of these 'unidentified, black-shirt' security men was completely illegal in Coeur d’Alene, and subsequently the woman has had all charges against her dropped, while the security company, LEAR Asset Management, has had their license revoked for violating the law.[1]
Those details do matter.

- ranger_danger 2y agoYes, I think failing to identify themselves is a big problem and they (security company) probably deserve what happened to them, I wasn't trying to imply that they did nothing wrong. And I'm not trying to victim blame either... but in this case I think indeed nothing bad would have happened if the woman's conduct was different... at the end of the day, everyone needs to be held accountable for their actions either way.
