1. What's so troubling is that they know the police will at a minimum embarrass/frighten the target.

The racist's target might even get shot dead by the cops.

Laws to levy consequences against these racist callers are not in place so making their names public as they've done to their victims only seems fair.

6. Couldn't Stop Thinking About It

The BBQ family having a nice afternoon together, a special meal in a pretty park on a lovely day. And this woman comes along and not only ruins it all, she steps all over them and their humanity. Now as I read it, the cops sent her away but who could eat after that... so in effect, she scored a two-fer against an innocent family who have every right to live the life God gave them as theirs.

about that happening.. It's just bizarre reading the headlines!

It's an epidemic that sounds like it's precipitated by being emboldened by trump. That could be wrong.

That "America" would come first, and that unAmericans would make way for Trumpers. This was exactly the entitlement he promised them, without ever quite coming out and saying it in so many words.

It's what drives these passive-agressive losers. They like nothing better than seeing someone's life get FUBAR`d while they tut-tut "Sorry, but that's how it has to be!"

"It's for their own good" "They had it coming" "Should have been done before now"
