When I was in Florida in July my brother told me it was better to not get involved when you see something happen. He tried to argue that it was better for your personal safety if you just let the police take care of it.

Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
