Two college students made monkey noises and silly gestures in front of an apartment’s Ring camera. That’s the video. They weren’t attacking anyone, threatening anyone or even targeting people they knew. The women say they had no idea who lived inside or what race they were.
Yet the story quickly became a national racist scandal. The media ran with that framing, the university got involved, and social media turned the two women into public enemies. Now they’re facing threats, doxxing and harassment. One has left the university.
I’m sorry, but when did college kids doing stupid, silly things become a national emergency? You don’t have to find the prank funny. You don’t even have to like it. But there is no evidence these girls set out to target Black students.
The REAL story finally came out. And THIS is exactly why I waited before jumping on the outrage bandwagon.
Not only had these individuals pulled the same stupid prank in front of FOUR other Ring cameras before reaching this apartment, but BOTH sides have now acknowledged that… pic.twitter.com/rccZGOrx8P

The reaction is wildly out of proportion. The people demanding consequences seem to have no problem with two young women paying a price that could follow them for the rest of their lives. This is what happens when outrage becomes more important than facts. People learn to keep their heads down, watch every word and fear the mob.
And the media helped create that mob before the full story was out.
