This was posted in a Buzzfeed article about Schlossberg, but I think the news is important enough to stand on its own.

1. Schlossberg needs to be destroyed

I think all these rascist mF’ers need to be outed and shamed.

2. Well he is now outed

But with this letter from a congress person, he might just be in even bigger trouble. He was complaining about those people in the restaurant taking his money for welfare. Guess who might be out of a job. Well, we can hope anyway.

4. Aww, he's having to hide now

But he continues to video his victims as if him videoing them means they are somehow to blame. This idiot just refuses to learn his lesson.

5. I have very mixed feelings about this. Massive

contempt for his behavior, and I am a person who's moved forward to support those attacked more than once. I have never sat quietly while another was abused or attacked. Not even when the threat was physical and my 5'2 size-4 wasn't much to offer that way. And I wouldn't have this time either.

We know Schlossberg's actions were inexcusable and far over society's line. That's not in question.

But where are the lines on the other side? The ones that protect individuals against oppression and victimization by the majority? The ones concerned with justice and punishment proportional to the crime?

We're in a new world here. I've been glad to see people of bad character expose themselves on public media in ways that hopefully will blight their chances of moving into positions of authority. I don't weep over college students who've killed ambitious careers before they started.

But there is a huge difference between the value of newly accessible information that can confine unworthy people to positions where they can do less harm and the new ability of viciously punitive mob reactions that can destroy people.

Where does Schlossberg's fall end? I would have been more than satisfied with bankruptcy as his clients weighed in and just hoped that that was proportional.
