I'm having a hard time having much compassion for this guy and can't get all that worked up about his being outed.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Would you feel the same if he, his wife, or his kids were assaulted over this? That's not how society is supposed to work. Boru

Maybe he should of thought of that before he sexually assaulted someone on live tv.

But Boru, if we start putting brakes on our outrage how are we going to use Twitter to destroy people’s lives?

Yes, I'm not going to side with protecting his identity. There should be a public reaction and public consequences for his very public behavior. But just because someone is outed does not mean that they (or their family) should be assaulted, of course I don't want that to happen. Any assaults would be other stupid people making his same mistake and then they should be placed in the same spotlight. The potential "what if" is not going to change my position.

That's a routine occurrence for which I don't see much public assault fall out reported. I don't recall Anne Sacoolas, or her family, being assaulted after an outing for killing a brit kid. Just saying.

Wow, what a POS. I hope she presses charges.
