Why is it that when you're trying to speak against something, there is always a mob?

[Anonymous]

I've tried to stand up against unfairness (standing up to someone) several years ago. This resulted in my car getting vandalized, being harrassed by 3 different women (bullied by them on my cell) and one of them throw a rock on my window. I got that taken care of. I had to get the police involved.

It's like they were trying to silent me. I seriously got scared. So much for trying to speak up against something I felt unfair, standing up for someone. Why is there always a mob trying to silent you?

I was shocked at the amount of hatred those women showed against me. I was calling out on unfairness and I get that in return. Now I'm scared to even speak out again.

Our culture has lost its moral bearing. We will soon return to an Old West setting where we are all armed and settle disagreements with lead and blood.

I've tried doing the right thing, call out on things I didn't agree with what some in my gender are doing but we can be attacked for that too. I was shocked at the amount of hatred a woman can display for another one. Unbelievable. They wanted to actually silent me.

I'm not going to risk it again. I'm scared to speak up against those radicals.

I'm a guy with actual testicles. Even I am reluctant to speak out. I wore a T-shirt with the wrong slogan on it and my car was keyed.

Because you stand up for something the right way - not the wrong way. Also, was what you stood for right or wrong?

For example, were you defending a criminal?
