The surveillance video posted online by Lola the cat’s owners takes only seconds, but it has outraged thousands of viewers around the world, some of whom posted angry messages pledging retribution.

The lady in the video and the posters pledging retribution are the same in that they both seek after creatures that they can justify (to themselves) wreaking vengeance on. The cat wasn't the cause of the ladies desire to harm, nor is the lady the source of the posters desire to harm. The desire to harm is already present, and is being held in check while waiting for an acceptable (justifiable in their own mind) target.
