    You think this is the same thing?

    Because I don’t see how this is witch-hunting by social media when this person came out and said she did it and really that doesn’t matter because it’s the right that ran with it. They cannot hell themselves from being overtly racist anymore. That’s not on this random internet women.

      It’s kind of the same thing, yeah.

      The main problem is posting, reposting and forwarding shit for likes. In this special case that persons might be unsanely racist. But I insist: Many people don’t want to think, what harm could result in this stupid behaviour.

      What made it worse is, what the right DID with this thing and how the right KNEW how everybody would just believe this shit.

        Yeah. Not the same thing.

        Pointing the finger at someone who was not involved in anyway is something very very different.

        This person literally got the ball rolling. They are not an uninvolved participating in the event.

        Wanting to see it as similar is about you and leads me to believe you were at least a passive participant in the witch hunting of the bomber suspect. Perhaps not, but you are clearly over fitting that specific series of event to this current event for a reason that is personal to you.

          Whoa calm down. Both scenarios involve making unsubstantiated claims on the internet and it spreading around until people become convinced it’s real. They are similar.

          Everyone should question things more before they post “something they heard” .

            No. This person literally says they started it. It’s not the same because it’s not a false accusation. This is being reported by new outlets who verified their sources. It’s journalism not a witch hunt, it’s not my personal failing for not recognizing the vast difference here.
