Herds are notoriously hard to wield. It's a rather foolish mission.

Anyways I see all these as "signals of despair." It shouldn't be that shocking it's just the particular form it is taking this news cycle.

You don't need precision with a herd. You need to send them in a general direction to "trample" and for just a few of the more skilled-competent ones to feel emboldened and righteous in their vigilante justice - not being competent enough to understand the vast complexities and nuances of every situation.
