Yeah, in the old days, before an outrage was expressed, we looked for who the agitators (organizers) were first. If we start harassing he agitators legally speaking, outing them, and prosecuting them for orchestration of disturbances of the peace a lot of this will stop.
Agitator was a good word, much better than organizer. I think we need a new warning level here at the board to address just that. Trolling doesn't carry one. Some forms of trolling is almost an art form. Right Shere? But agitation ought to be a banning offense IMO because its goal is malicious discord.
Discord can be healthy when the opposing views are based in truth that needs to be considered. But deliberate agitation to stir up the basest of emotions has no good purpose. It should be dealt with immediately and severely in person, in public gatherings, and on message boards. The truth no matter how unpopular should never be censored. Intentionally stirring people to rage for the sake of filming the the fracas for propaganda purposes should be punishable with prison time.
Well there is the ignore feature. There are a couple of posters whose threads I never open unless they get to several pages.

Well here’s an article from actual media. Not fake news. The mayor of the diocese think differently, but maybe some good will come of this. I guarantee you there will be training on how to act when you are representing yourself and your community in the future.
What do you think they should have done differently?
One don’t make a spectacle of yourself. Do you really think they “asked” a chaperone permission to do a school chant? They were jeering and mocking the Indian.
Really? REALLY?!?
That's your standard? Tell me, then. What was chief full-o-bulls intent if it wasn't "to make a spectacle of himself" AND of course to try to provoke a confrontation?
Mach, babe, for a real sea-change here for a moment be honest: wind back 4 years and these kids are wearing zerO hats- "Obama is dreamy" or something.
You think any of this happens? Ever?
These kids weren't there for the silly hat parade, they were there on a long-planned field trip and this group of varying street trash try to start something with them.
They were STUCK, waiting on their bus ride home. What should they have done, fled?
How many hearts and minds do you think the provocateurs actually changed? Psssst! It's a lot closer to zero than one.
