That's not the problem.

There's a tendency on the internet for things to hit critical mass. For people to start brigading. Pretty soon you have a trial by social media. You have thousands of people weighing in. Unless you've experienced something like this, people who don't know you talking about you and judging you and you being powerless to do anything about it, it's hard to understand how this can affect you without experiencing it, but it is a horrible feeling.

The problem is it was going on in the first place. Whether it stopped when the mob got what it wants is beside the point.

The punching always stops when the victim cries. When that happens the bully gets defensive. "He deserved it" "I hardly touched him" "That's not bullying" "He's such a cry baby" "You're all cry babies too"

I've seen all these sentiments in the responses
