Not only that but is sure seems that when it comes to people doing things to other people, as in criminals, giving them a pass for past transgressions seems to be the standard. Please, prove that wrong. The threads are full of it.
Criminal arrested by cop. Didn't matter that the criminal did before, not relevant. This is now different?
Do we care if a burglar had problems with a sexual harassment issues? Nope. You are just part of the pile on crowd, nothing to say so throw whatever and see what sticks. How typical.
There are just as many threads ready, willing and able to crucify some kid for getting shot because he had a shifty past and you damn well know it.
Mack, if you read carefully "exhibiting questionable character" was the operative point in bring that up.
I'll accept your apology later. Carry on.
Questionable character has nothing to do with this either. Questionable means open the question. The interpretation is then dependent upon who is doing the interpreting.
Understanding what you post is important. Try it.
Now, if you like to apologize, save it, it wouldn't be genuine.
If they were sure they could get away with it, I suspect that many of these hunter types would love to hunt and kill humans and would pay big bucks to do so.
But katy, what you call "mob mentality" is no more pervasive "these days" as it was when mankind was living in caves. What is different is the speed and breadth of people are able to voice their displeasure (read that as my euphemism for 'mob mentality'). To take another hot topic or two, do you think "driving while black" is a new phenomena? Sexual harassment? No, it's been going for years, but when it's no longer tucked away like a crazy uncle in the attic it's "mob mentality"? Sorry, no sale.
It's the very speed and breadth of people voicing their displeasure that creates a very dangerous mob. People putting a home address on an internet forum talking about torturing and killing someone might incite some mad stranger to do just that. People are talking to complete strangers. They have no idea what all the others are like. One of these days someone is going to get killed by something like this.
You know how gun enthusiasts always say that an armed society is a polite society?
Welcome to the new era: Society armed with cameras and internet will be a polite society.
So, be polite, everyone!
Yeah! Crossbow Control, now!
