(34,386 posts)No one identified her or her child prior to her brag-post on facebook. It was NOT a statement to the media coverage and hostile people attacking her. The bulk of the hostility and media coverage of the hostility are a direct result of the utter lack of self-awareness and concern for the damage her actions caused as illustrated so clearly in her entirely voluntary brag-post on facebook to which it the media is responding.
I agree that the hatred has gotten out of control and is being misdirected at targets without verifying that they have any connection to this incident, and also that many people are basing their venom on inaccurate information about the threat Harambe posed to the child because most of the media accounts use an edited version of the video that makes Harambe appear exclusively gently with the child.
That said, suggesting that her voluntary facebook post outing herself, prior to the media frenzy, was a response to being under siege, rather than the trigger for the siege, lacks a similar connection to the actual facts.
