you know, it seems to me that alot of people are missing the point of this video, so let me try to help make it more clear with an analogy
imagine your in high school. your walking down a hallway when you see a group of kids bullying another kid who just recently came out of the closet. they are bullying for being gay. it's mostly verbal bullying (insults, name calling and the like), but you do hear one or two threats of violence that you aren't sure whether the bullies are serious about.
Do you:
A) go tell a teacher or other staff member whats happening, or even try to bring them to where the bullying is happening so they can see for themselves
B) go stand up to the bullies, and maybe even try to get the victim away from them
C) walk by the whole thing because its not your problem, and never think about it again
D) walk by, and then when you overhear the victim talking to his friends about what happened, tell the victim "well what did you expect for being open about your sexuality"
if you would pick A or B, then you aren't the people Jim's talking about. Your good people who probably do stand up for people who are being bullied whether online or offline. Jim is not telling you to go out and setup some sort of internet vigilante system, all he wants is for more people to act like you guys, and stand up against bullies when you see it happening in the community you are a part of.
if you would pick C or D, then you are doing nothing but being complacent while people are bullied and harassed for the pettiest of reasons, making it appear that this abuse is acceptable behavior. your deserve the scorn Jim gives you in this video
