Non-profit worker who provoked fury with disrespectful Arlington photo tells how she lost her job, can't date and now lives in fear
For almost a year after Lindsey Stone was fired, she refused to leave the house.
Her former employer, Life (Living Independently Forever) dismissed her in 2012 over a picture that a coworker had taken of her giving the finger at Arlington National Cemetery.
The firing of both women came after an ardent online campaign that had flooded Life, which works with 'pretty high-functioning people with learning difficulties,' according to Stone, with emails.
In addition to the firing, it left a digital trail of bitter anger against Stone, including a now-unavailable Facebook page 'Fire Lindsey Stone,' which had than 19,000 Likes at one point.

Mebbe.
But if it's on the internet, it's forever.
Dumb asses shouldn't be dumb asses in this instant media world we live in.
Thirty years ago, she'd have been a mention at a local cocktail party and maybe down at the local American Legion bar, but now...Sinh Loi...she got her ass handed to her.
Is she replacing Jen Psaki as State Department spokesflake?
What life, this moron worked at a non-profit which means that she didn’t really work. Government funds most of these non-profits . Only a for profit private business that is not associated with the government is accountable .
I’m glad FR isn’t public....
Fired, unemployed, despised. What did she expect, an invite to the White House to visit with Obama? Maybe lunch with slut Sandra Fluke?
She did something really stupid but it shouldn’t follow her forever.
I’m glad the internet wasn’t around when I was young.
.
Looks like she hasn’t gone hungry.
Well said.
Well, “I heard” is hardly dispositive. Did you hear it on the internet ‘cause everyone knows it’s a good reliable source.
Did she get photos giving the bird to churches and other institutions that she thought were too bourgeois? There’s been a lot of that type of condescension since the 60s.
But even if true, I’m not sure that behaving disrespectfully with obscene gestures at other sites is much of a qualification for anyone who works with ‘high functioning people’.
Stupid is as stupid does?
She got what she deserves!
OTOH, the taxpayers are probably supporting her.
What does that mean?
It means that they are retarded. Not severely, but they aren't 100 IQ probably in the high 70's to low 80's.
I’d have kicked the living sh** out of her right then and there.
L
But what does the “works with” mean?
Sounds like she has a new job in the Capitol building.
>> What does that mean?
She tries to teach persons with greater mental faculties than her own.
Shouldn’t she be Obama’s Secretary of Defense?
poor thing, such a sad thing to happen to a scummy woman
oh wait... she deserved it
Democrats?
the photo speaks for itself, just because she does it to everyone doesn’t make it better
