yep.
i mean, i can understand people jumping to conclusions when there is alot of things pointing to a certian person, but with things like touching kids, people let their rage take over and turn into idiots. mob mentality.
i remember the time in england when the newspapers started a big peadophile craze. they went mad on it ad got the population worked up into a crazy state, (see brasseye)
there was a guy that lived by me, a bit of a mentalist, lived with his mom and had no friends, was in his 40's etc, you know the kind.
anyway, this rumour came up that he was a nonce, it spread like wildfire. he couldnt leave his house or he would be beaten, perhaps killed. his house got smashed to fuck with his poor old mom inside. and this guy was a few cakes short too, so he didnt know what to do. the cops were obviously not very caring. there were parents of teenagers egging the kids on to go get the guy.
i knew these two kids who started the rumour. they were so ridden with guilt that they were getting really fucked up about it. it wasnt true at all. the guy was totaly innocent. the kids confessed they had made it all up to the cops but it didnt help anything. that guy had to move and everyone still believes the rumour to this day.
once you speak this shit, you cant take it back. people dont listen. so be very carefull about the things you say. if this wasnt the internet there would already be 20 people signed up for a fucking witch hunt.
