It's the "burn that witch" reaction.

See how they hate pedophiles and not child rapists.

The crowd wants to feel its power by condemning (and lynching if possible) someone.

I'd rather want to investigate those calling for "investigation" and further violation of privacy of people who for all we know have committed no crime.

That's about freedom of speech and yelling "fire" in a crowded theater and thousand hills radio, you know the argument.
