Citizen app told locals to "hunt" down a man for starting a California fire – but had the wrong guy

I got on the Citizen app for a minute to see what all the fuss was about. It seemed like a bunch of hyper-vigilant, fear-ridden, close-minded people who thought every loud noise was a gunshot and never cared about the fact that every single “gunshot” they reported was never followed up on leaving everyone on the app to think the entire city was being shot up constantly when it was likely cars backfiring and fireworks. In other words, useless app for useless people.
