My "favorite" example about this is the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting, because it's so easy to jump to conclusions (especially when it seem to fit the ambiant discourse) and be completely wrong about the whole situation.

It's a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida that was in 2016 the theater of a mass shooting (49 killed + 58 injured) during a "Latin night".

I still remember hearing about it on social media at the time, that it was another attack on LGBT, and especially an attack on minorities... turns out that the perpetrator didn't even knew it was a gay nightclub, he was an ISIS sympathizer whose ire was directed towards the US at large.

Of course, it doesn't diminish the tragedy of the event, or the fact that the LGBT community of Orlando was the most heavily hit, but it does illustrate that we should be mindful on when we are jumping to conclusions and assuming stuff without all the elements.
