It is hard to imagine a time since the turbulent 1960s when America has seemed so near the breaking point. Examples of our collective anguish are everywhere, and there is fear rising in some quarters of society that if we don’t get a handle on our collective anxieties, fears and loathing, our divisions will continue to deepen and lead to a total unraveling of our social fabric.
One of the most recent cases in point comes from Modesto, California, where a fake warning on Facebook of a man trying to attack women in the city went viral. Not only was the post false, police say, but the man to whom the post referred wound up becoming the victim of a crazed mob.
Police said the post included details of the man – his description and, more importantly, where he could be found. It didn’t take long, cops said, before a group of men took the law into their own hands.
As reported by CBS Sacramento:
The post warns in all caps of a Modesto man trying to break into homes and assault women, urging people to share to save a woman’s life.
“The whole area was in a panic, and my boyfriend was like, no you have to drive to work, and I’ll pick you up,” resident Hope Davis told the affiliate.
Modesto Police spokeswoman Heather Graves says the department was flooded with calls, but they had no reports of a man trying to physically harm anyone.
The department attempted to calm the community, sending out a message via Twitter, “This post is false. Please share. We fear this man may become a victim.”
