I need your guys’ opinions, I’m so lost

Okay, I just got a weird note. I don’t want to post it because it would expose personal information of someone from DA.

This DA person was recently showcased on artist-confessions as a religious nut going on hate rampages over homosexuality. And apparently her abusive behavior on the internet isn’t just kept on the internet. She’s been involved in enacting actual physical hate crimes against homosexuals. Aside from just the hate messages and hurtful/offensive internet drama.

She apparently has posted the phone number and address of her church.

If this person really is becoming physically abusive (which I don’t even know, I’ve only seen a few of her posts, as unnerving as they are, I’ve not seen anything about eyewitness accounts of her abuse/crime/whatever other than an Anon in my ask box), is it right to contact her church?

I feel like this person might be committing actual hate crimes. On homosexuals. Is it right to try and take some action in making sure she’s not hurting anyone else? Or is that even my (or anyone else’s) place? Is there harm that could come from trying? Could she even be getting her radical hate from her church community? Is it possible that even if she isn’t involved in actual crimes, should her radical hate be addressed by her peers?

I’m really lost.

It’s kind of like thinking you might be hearing rape happening, but you’re worried about calling the cops and it end up being a false alarm. Or that the cops won’t help. Or that maybe they’re the problem. Or that it might not even be rape it’s just rough sex and you have no reason to butt into their business and ahhhh

Any help, guys? I’m really hesitant to post her church information/number, or even her name (though some people might know who I’m talking about) but I’ve seen people do this on tumblr a lot to signal boost about something bad that’s happening… ?

EDIT: HERE IS THE OTHER THING what if her church really is the driving force behind her hate crimes, and what if I call and they somehow find my number and where I live and try to kill me or something for “siding with the gays”

I mean this could be like a cult thing I don’t even know. I’m letting my imagination get the best of me I think. But I’m thinking, even if she’s not doing hate crimes, there’s evidence of her bullying online, and that’s a huge deal in it of itself… but oh god what if they find me can I call anonymously or something so they can’t trace my phone number? AUGH I should just go to bed

EDIT x2 COMBO hey I have my Ethics class tomorrow morning I should ask all of them what I should do… talk about a qualified teacher for this kind of scenario haha?

krspaz said: I want to put my two cents in here. While I am a Christian, I don’t think it’s right to commit hate crimes towards ANYONE, no matter what you believe! I think you should contact the church to try to get a better picture if what’s going on first.

happikattwuzheere said: Well, that is really rough. If you were more certain of the situation, and knew that the hate crimes were occurring and everything else, i would say definitely tell someone, but since you don’t it really is a tough call.
livelyharmony said: If this person is really committing the crimes then you need to inform someone and her church would be a good place to do that, some of them are accepting….
definitely-tsundere said: Better to take action, if false alarm no one gets hurt but that person shouldn’t be spewing hate I say go for it some people may be in danger
