What is meant by 'moral outrage' here
Legislators acting in response to moral outrage seen on television and during street protests and being apparently influenced by the importunate gaze of victims of crime from the gallery, does not augur well for sound law-making.
I know what moral means and what outrage means, but I can't seem to understand what moral outrage means here. Please help me.
Thank you.
