Easy to jump to wrong conclusions

RECENTLY there has been heated debate online about the incident in Badaling Wildlife Park in northern Beijing, in which tigers killed one woman and injured another after the women got out of their car in the park. Xinhua Daily Telegraph commented on Tuesday:

In the field of public opinion, when something happens, even when they only possess a fraction of the information or believe in hearsay, many people will try to conclude the root cause and assign responsibility.

In this incident, some people have attributed it to problems arising from the women' irritability and made assertions such as "do not get married to people who get angry easily", even though there is no information about whether or not the woman who first got out of the car was quarreling with her family.
