Either way, I don't get why people find it funny to leave hateful msgs on their fb and are so eager to destroy a business.

And thats where youre wrong. What if it wasnt meant to be funny. What if its meant to share an actual, legitimate experience. I mean thats the purpose of social media isnt it? Kind of like a newspaper amongst your friends?
(edit: nevermind, my bad. I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about my friend, and didnt realize you were speaking of the people who took the ball and ran with it. I guess I mightve hit my head snowboarding today. apologies)
Honestly, why I suspect this particular story gained traction is not because of what happened, but moreso of who this happened to. People complaining/ranting/sharing on social media is not a new phenomenon, nor are negative reviews.
But since I know for a fact that this unfortunate incident could not have happened to a nicer person, and when he spoke out on his status update, this is why a lot of people in his friends list felt for the guy immediately. Had it been any other person, I doubt it people wouldve cared, or wouldve given 2 shits about his shitty night - and obviously things would not have snowballed to where it is now. It wouldve just been your run-of-the-mill facebook rant or negative review that wouldve been ignored or skimmed like everything else in facebook is.
As for 2 sides for every story, its not really that necessary. Nothing about their position has changed from the initial incident, and the only development I can see that would make a difference is they admit they were in error. Other than that, its a typical he-said-she-said scenario and you have the freedom to pick any side you want. Its just in this particular case, hes personable enough and reputable enough to have a high degree of credibilty among a vast array of friends that as you can see, theyve given his words more merit.

I.E// the Cops attending nor the 2 goofballs that ripped him off.
& I agree, he should have taken this to the Manager first...let him fire the employees and make it up. Social justice gets out of hands these days. A recent example can be that false identified Boston Bomber during Reddit. That kid off'ed himself, not a result but it helped.

The pictures he provided look like it was just taken after, the fact, when he got back to his buddies place.
Im gonna guess he didnt take your suggested pictures because it didnt occur to him at the time of the incident to take pictures of said 2 goofballs or the cops. Probably because he wasnt planning or expecting for this disagreement to occur in the first place.
Who knows, just my guess.
