Are people over-reacting to the tram lady?

Sure she was in the wrong, but is it right that people post death threats on YouTube?

Yeah death threats are a bit too far but even still I don't think the other people are over-reacting about the video; it is

quite shocking to see that someone could be so ignorant and racist, and not just that but the fact that over 12,000

people would agree with the woman (that's how many liked the video and there's quite a few people's comments I've

read on TSR that suggest others agree too.

People post stuff like that on youtube comments all the time. I watched one of xtra factor with Caroline Flack interviewing One Direction and there were people on there making death threats to Caroline Flack!

Two wrongs never make a right but I think most people aren't over reacting as much as people pretend they care when they're on the interent. Just sad that this is exactly a shocking one-off incident.

Most the people over-reacting are immigrants.

Who cares what they think. They have no place trying to influence debates on the English nation when they're not English themselves.

As for youtube comments, it's somewhere to go when you're feeling machosadistic.

I hear stuff like this on public transport from drunks all the time, not sure why so much crap flies but one incident sparks huge amounts of moral outrage

It's not correct. I'm pretty sure the people posting on YouTube have said hurtful things, been responsible for hurtful actions during their lives. Just because they weren't filmed, doesn't mean they can start making death threats, it's sickening.
