It’s a PR loss simply because we live in a world where an increasing majority of people don’t value things like not jumping to conclusions, not assuming the worst in every situation, letting a process run its course, etc. Faux outrage in order to establish yourself before the mob as a virtuous defender of “justice” is now the only reaction that carries any social value. We as a society have lost our collective ideals of thinking and reason, and have moved fully into groupthink and emotion, with reasonable people more and more choosing to stay silent, lest they be attacked for being complicit in injustice.

As a person of any other culture, race or religion one should think twice before escalating issues which, as we know will immediately end up on twitter or other social media platforms. Where was the de-escalating effort here? This should not have been in the news. Whether you like it or not, we live in different times. Stay safe out there and be smart.
