I thought this society stopped drawing lines a while ago. It’s amazing to me how much time and effort people hundreds or thousands of miles away from this young woman will spend to hurt her because they took offense to something they didn’t even witness.

Technology has made communication too easy to hurt people. We should have a five day waiting period before exercising your first amendment rights to speech - a cooling off period, if you will.

Agree 100%.

Reminds me of the quote by Leo Tolstoy: "Everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself"
