Yeah there are exceptions I'm sure. Busybodies want all sorts of strangers to suffer for no good reason though. Maybe they are convinced their neighbors are antifa assassins coming to rub them out for their dumbass facebook posts, maybe they think there is a grand conspiracy against them.

Before the internet they were ostracized when they went off the deep end, now they find backup, moral support, and are encouraged by manipulators for all sorts of reasons, and they are encouraged to indulge their paranoia, reinforced in it. On their facebook and nextdoor groups convincing themselves everyone they don't recognize is george soros' henchman canvassing the area to woke bomb it or whatever.
