In my opinion, these people choose children as targets for the sole purpose of leveraging maximum outrage. Their goals appear to generally be self-serving and a way to get attention. and it works every damned time.
Standing back and looking in, I saw a mentally ill person act on the hatred that he was acclimated to, and in the wake of such evil, the rest of society rose up and reached for the throat of their neighbor in an attempt to extract vengeance. I may be an emotional human like everyone else, but I try to not allow those emotions to steer my actions. So when I see this movie playing out, it almost makes my head "blue-screen". The reaction of most people is to verbally attack other uninvolved people who have ideological differences.
It's like a swirling mass of never-ending and pointless hatred, and it appears to me that people enjoy it. It makes my stomach churn.
