No clue to how or why, but one thing for certain those keen eyed reporters at the ‘cool down’ know that it has it roots in ‘hate’. Their side wants you to know that the other side (whomever that might be) hates your side.

One commenter on the Reddit post explained why these acts of hate won’t be going away any time soon and warned of the possible escalation of more dangerous behavior.
