After some of the articles we've seen lately, this is just a little lesson in clickbait headlines and why not to trust and react to just a headline. In this case, it is technically an accurate headline but not what your first instinct the story would be is.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

There is some real garbage being intentionally posted in an apparent effort to incite anger.
