> You know as well as I do that if you gather 250k people in one spot someone is going to say something that makes you look bad.
The problem with this statement is the shifting use of "you". I might know that a mob acts like a mob, but I'm certainly not going to be surprised if "my" rights are affected if I'm part of the group from which the mob manifested. That doesn't mean the decision to alter my rights is directed at me, personally.
Random speculation about why this was done or who did it, for what reasons, is also a type of mob thinking.
