Sorry, its FB related.
You know the kind, a picture of a random person with the words "This is X name, he is a 'insert horrible thing - paedophile/animal abuser/wife beater etc', he lives in Y town, name and shame...blah blah".
I've seen loads of them in the past but there was one in particular that a few of my relatives who live in a different part of the country have shared and it got pretty nasty. Said bloke was accused of being a paedophile, with a picture of him and another person, post gave details about where he lived and what he had supposedly done. Every single comment on it was people insulting him, many of them threatening him and his family with serious violence. Obviously all these people were also sharing the post so more people could see it.
Aibu to think that this is wrong? I, nor anyone else, have any idea if some random picture and accusation posted on FB is remotely true, if they do genuinely suspect that it is why not just report that person to the police? What if the guy in this picture is completely innocent and ends up getting his head kicked in or worse on the back of an accusation that could be completely untrue? Don't these people think of these things when they're sharing the picture?
Aibu? I really want to say something as it winds me up so much!
