Why do people make hateful and judgemental comments?

Asked by GloPro (8404points) April 3rd, 2014 from iPhone

Why do so many people make such nasty comments on Internet news stories?

Here is a perfect example. This 55 year old man spent two nights lost in the woods in the snow. He was found alive and it was a wonderful outcome. Yet you scroll down to the comments and most of them are calling him stupid, ugly, and a waste of taxpayer money. The comments would really make you feel like crap if it was you. I hope I’m never in the news.

When did it become fair play to bash an innocent person for no reason? Why do people comment at all if they only have mean, uninformed things to say?
