Can you show me some examples of abhorrent behavior? In the few reddit threads I skimmed about the bombing everyone was surprisingly mature, especially when pointing out 'suspicious' people.

isn’t ‘Pointing out ‘suspiciuos’ people’ on a public forum rather immature by itself?

Not in my opinion. They were just people trying to catch the bombers. No one was jumping to conclusions from what I saw (maybe some did but they were downvoted further down than I scrolled), rather they were just pointing out scenes that looked suspicious to them so that the police could investigate further. While there have definitely been cases in the past where a line has been crossed, I don't believe that to have happened this time.

For the most part, they were pointing out suspicious pictures, in the wake of a nearby large-scale criminal event. Not suspicious people by name.
