Agree its not a cartoon, maybe call it a meme, but when I saw it I thought "gee, that's a bit rude" but not for a moment did I think it was real. I guess that is why I thought it was an over reaction initially. I can see how people that thought it was real would get outraged.
But the outrage in front of cameras has consequences. It draws people to the story. And the story is not great. There is also stuff on twatter now going into detail of how the meme emerged and where the story was sourced from. I wish I hadn't read it. And for that reason I'm going on a self imposed social media ban.....sometimes its better not to know.
Interesting twatter has refused to take down the tweet.
