A few years back, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates was arrested for being in his own home, refusing to step outside and for telling an officer that he had just come back from China doing a documentary on Yo Yo Ma. In the arrest report, the officer said Gates had been disrespectful and had said "Yo mamma" when asked where he'd been. 

And commenters then said it was justified because Gates had a bad attitude and didn't do what the officer said -- in his own home when there was no suspicion of a crime (there'd been a report of somebody trying to break in, but Gates had ID showing it was his home).

I'm reminded of that because I suspect these "serves him right for having attitude" commenters  - have never been in a situation where they could face arrest or detention for doing absolutely nothing wrong. 

For these commenters, it doesn't make sense that officials would target someone just for religion or skin colour because this is something that doesn't happen to white males.
