98% of poster here would lynch (figuratively speaking I hope) Mr. Kraft because of his decision not to appeal.
I wondered how such an overwhelming majority came to be, considering all the good this man has done for
the Patriots and the National Football League. I believe it has to do with the lynch mob mentality.
How to start a Lynch Mob:
1. Find something that evokes a highly charged emotional perception of injustice.
2. Find someone to blame
3. Have a nucleus of war drum beaters that dislike that person for whatever reason
who will stir up the crowd with highly charged words against that person.
( doesn't matter if those words are true or not just as long as they are possibly true)
4. Add the anonymity ingredient of the crowd. (on the internet that's an automatic)
5 . Rely on the mob mentality( join a group because they are mostly likely right) to grow the mob.
This is the only reason I can find for so much hate against Mr. Kraft because No One here knows
all the facts and possible repercussions of pursuing an appeal or even a court action. No One.
Yet people here say all kinds of reasons why he should have at least appealed, therefore he is guilty and
should be hanged (figuratively).
I now know how dangerous and frightening the Mob Mentality can be.
Mr. Kraft I for one in a small minority give you the trust you asked for and deserve.
If I am wrong to do so then that's on your conscious but I believe you are trying to do the right thing.
