Some outrage is legitimate and probably shouldn't be stopped (even if it should be contained to reasonable levels).

Other outrage is unreasonable, but unreasonable outrage is also part of life, it will never go away. If you think the specific instance of outrage was unreasonable than you should respond to it (usually verbally unless it goes completely over the top to violent actions). If a person or group is prone to unreasonable outrage than it might be useful to point that out. However even than it isn't remotely comparable to molesting children or making false accusations about the molestation.

I might actually sort of agree with you but I'm not sure. "but it needs to be stopped. " strikes me as to strong a statement. Also as an expression of outrage itself.
