Egomaniacal Judgment

It was heartwarming to see the outpouring of sympathy for Jussie Smollett when he claimed to have been the victim of a hate crime. But what really impressed me, and what gives me hope for the human race, was all of the people who owned up to their mistake and apologized for rushing to judgment when the whole incident turned out to be a hoax. 

I made that last part up. Nobody did that. None of those vindictive, vociferous critics who screamed loudly and angrily about the unfairness of that alleged beating bothered to speak up and admit publicly that they were wrong. The world is full of seething, judgmental egomaniacs. Mankind is a mess.
