Predictably, redditors are trying to pass the buck on this whole “identifying a totally innocent person as the Boston bomber and spreading said information across social media” thing to “the media”.
I'm Sam, I live in Chicago with my girlfriend and cat. I went to film school and work as a freelance editor and occasional camera guy. I like writing but don't do it professionally (yet).
I also run a (lazily updated) blog dedicated to cataloguing humorous observations from survival-horror games called Looks Like A Lever.
Here's my Last.fm

Black people voting for Obama is reverse racism! It’s not like similarly high percentages of black voters voted for Gore and Kerry too because they’re, you know, Democrats.
This person typed these two sentences, presumably looked at them, and said “I have no problem with this, I think that is a perfectly rational and consistent statement to make,” and moved on. Incredible.

“You know, when literally my only exposure to trans* people was a movie where a cisgender actress portrays a transgender man, I was totally cool with trans* rights. Then I found out that transwomen exist, and I think that’s just taking the whole ‘rights’ thing too far, you know? I feel like, I don’t know, my sympathy should only extend to people who don’t make me feel confused. Those people are radicals and they are the reason more kind gentlesirs like me aren’t le allies.”
Today’s reddit report: Woman goes to /r/sex to ask for advice after finding out her husband of five years masturbated to a picture of her 18 year old daughter.
General consensus reddit comes up with: no big deal, “men are biologically wired to be attracted to young attractive girls”, the fact that she’s your daughter is irrelevant because “every girl is someone’s daughter”, why are you trying to “persecute” your long suffering husband for a “thought crime”?
All of those are real quotes from highly upvoted comments.
Today’s reddit report: I’ve been awake for about five minutes and already I’ve had to endure some libertarian referring to child porn as a “thought crime” and suggesting it shouldn’t be illegal at all. And he was being upvoted for it. I really have to start weening myself off that website, like now.
