Targeting others—sometimes for only a perceived difference—has been a scary, widespread & longstanding practice which has not been exclusively racially motivated.

One can never know who might read Internet message board posts & what they might do if they had the chance. Sad but true.

YEP, there are a lot of extremist nutcases out there...who will believe anything.

Just like the armed guy who showed up at a pizza joint (Google 'Pizzagate'), because he read on some nutcase extremist/conspiracy website that someone...was running a child slavery/sex ring out of the basement.

Never mind there was no basement, think about how ignorant someone would have to be...to even believe this.

Or that no children were tragically massacred at Sandy Hook Elementary...and it was just a hoax.

At least the scumbag purveyor of that last outrageous story (Alex Jones)...ended up paying $100,000 for his recklessness.
