Monica Foy, the Victim of a Terrifying Right-Wing Internet-Shaming, Speaks Out (pity party alert)
NY Magazine ^ | September 4, 2015 | Jesse Singal

Tuesday morning felt normal to Monica Foy, a junior and English major at Sam Houston State University. The first thing the 26-year-old, who lives outside Houston with her husband, did when she woke up was check her Twitter and Facebook feeds. Both were full of people mourning the loss of Darren Goforth, a Harris County Sheriff’s deputy who was murdered Friday night by a man named Shannon J. Miles, who came up behind him at a gas station, shot him in the back of the head, and then emptied every bullet in his gun into the officer.

Foy tweeted a dry joke about what she saw as the different ways society responds to different deaths: “I can’t believe so many people care about a dead cop and NO ONE has thought to ask what he did to deserve it. He had creepy perv eyes …”

[Snip]

Disastrously for Foy, the tweet quickly got screen-grabbed and began spreading among right-wing Twitter users, who immediately sought to amplify it. It found its way to Brandon Darby, managing director of Breitbart Texas, part of the far-right Breitbart website. Darby, as he would soon explain, quickly decided that it was on him to step in and defend the murdered deputy’s legacy against the threat apparently posed to it by a college student’s tweet. And as a journalist with a good-size megaphone, there was one obvious way to do that.

You right wing nuts shouldn't criticize this nice libtard even though she believes that the sheriff's deputy deserved to die because he had creepy perv eyes ... because that terrifies and shames her.

Talking about creepy, it is that woman. I am sure it is not just conservatives who were offended by her sick comments.

Ah Ha! A Rare case of Reality smacking a Liberal in the face so hard it can't be ignored!

True Consequences for their actions by their own making.

She caused her warrant, she post that incredibly disgusting tweet and it led the cops right to her for her previous actions.

We need more of this!

Oh yeah, this one. Whose father is so embarrassed he took to the airwaves to distance himself from her. Yeah, another victim of the right wing conspiracy.

The same leftists who called Sarah Palin a murderer for putting a dot on a map think its A OK for a “College student” who is 26 years old by the way, to go on twitter and be gleeful that a cop is dead

Funny, I seriously doubt that this journal-ist would describe salon, huffington post, politico, etc, etc as “far left” sites.

She earned her rotten tomatoes. She felt man enough to type such an ugly thing, then she needs to shut up and take the results. Mamma’s stinkin’ baby.

Being a moron has consequences. You don’t want to get slammed don’t post stupid things.

Yeah, and her high school year book picture was done in a Mercator projection. And those lines on her face, they’re latitude and longitude lines.
