I'm not the only one getting increasingly worried about the:
-increasing rhetoric about death for sex offenders
-the rise of apps like sneaky links that "show the locations of offenders near you"
-the likelyhood that this is a preclude to coordinated and sustained mob violence
Right? Like I'm not the only one getting really uneasy about all of this?
@Hobyrim I am more concerned with protecting the victims than worrying about what befalls their attackers.
@awnaves well that's why it's so insidious. Like do I really care if something bad happens to someone who caused a lifetime of pain to someone else? Nah.
But I do care that the data validation is right.
I do care that it's a judge and jury exacting judgment instead of Ross from three towns down.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @awnaves exactly. And while I hear the groomer thing and I know it's just a weapon in the cultural war I am getting uneasy here.
I think one thing that's making it worse is that when Twitter isn't porn bots or stupidity, it's a bunch of posts that feel like they are meant to desensitize people to death and images of people being killed.
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Hobyrim
I should clarify that I don't have an issue with legally convicted sex offender info being readily available for the safety of those they might prey upon. A list cultivated by individuals is never a good thing though. Some may be valid but I agree that there is too much opportunity for bad actors to toss out innocent names for their own purposes.
@Hobyrim I do agree that vigilantes are not the answer in any situation.
