Editorial
Persecution of Innocent people
Witch trials have existed throughout history. ... Most of the time, these people were innocent, just caught in the craze and the hysteria of the moment. ...
The causes for the persecution of people are various and varied. ... In the Salem Witch trials more than twenty people were accused and convicted of practicing witchcraft. During the Jewish holocaust in WWII, more that six million people were exterminated. Hundreds of people were accused of being communist, and blacklisted due to it during the McCarthy era. ... These remarks are made against scapegoats, usually people who are defenseless and can’t take action against the claims. ... Quickly the people become agitated by fear and mass hysteria takes control. ... Again, it varied in each case, mainly because of the magnitude of the persecution, but it’s basically the same plotline.
