Do you feel sympathy for alt righters who get doxxed?

Alt-righters are more often doxxers than doxxees.

Are there massive online campaigns to out antifa or SJWs activists who associate with violent protest and/or radical totalitarian Marxism. Does this activism spill over to non extremist right leaning people such that you'd see it shared on your social media feed among say your uncle or cousin who is a Thin Blue Line, American flag waving god & guns type?

I don't see individual attacks of protesters (who are not violent) from the right to the same degree as the left.

I can see the argument for those who truly did something wrong (such as become violent - with proof, of course). But simply for being there and protesting? That is terrible and should not happen.

Plus too often, those who these folks are trying to go after aren't even the correct people.
So you have innocent people potentially getting their addresses, phone numbers, license plate numbers, place of employment, etc. thrown out on the internet and receiving threats for something they didn't do.

Arkansas Engineering shirt guy was misidentified and angry social media users threatened a professor who was totally unaffiliated with any of the activities:

The actual guy in the photo apologized - but the people who threatened the professor are an example of how social media has revved up the incidents. And imagine if they had not been able to clear it sooner if the professor was fired or attacked?

Remember the social media crowd sourcing frenzy after the 2013 Boston marathon bombing? In the period after the marathon was bombed and before the big GTA style car chase and shootout, Reddit and other types of social media went into a frenzy scanning photos to try to find suspects. I remember social media was 99% sure that this Indian male who had threatened to kill himself and had gone missing for 30 days prior was the culprit. Another suspect was a Moroccan teen, I presume because he was a Muslim and may have looked 'suspicious'. Despite the good intentions, it was a huge failure on the part of social media.

Yes, that one was not limited to right wing as a number of my more vigilant activist minded Democrat friends were sharing the posts about the search for the bombers.
