1. It's amazing that the internet is completely unable to focus its outrage or have nuance.

Yes, Jeff Bezos is an annoying parasite who only did this as a PR stunt.

That does not mean it’s ok to threaten, harass, or be a weirdo to the people who went on the flight. You can hold a generally correct (imo) opinion and then go too far and act worse than the original offense.

Also, in general, someone committing a faux pas doesn’t mean that it’s ok to go and destroy their lives, threaten them, etc. People on social media tend to act over the top and like psychopaths at any form of perceived offense, and, all acts are treated as being “worse than Hitler” (sarcasm) despite being only minor transgressions.
