My point still stands. If there’s evidence that someone has done terrible things, then most reasonable people aren’t going to stick up for that person. I’m not sure what relevance not knowing the people involved has. Normal people are angry at Neo Nazis even though they may not know one personally.
Nope. Purely in the abstract. It happens a lot on social media. The Gaiman thing is just one example.

Hearsay constitutes weak evidence.
What’s the minimum you’d count as strong enough evidence to justify anger at the accused?

The word of an authority that I respect would do it.
