I noticed yesterday that some woman (21 yrs old) dressed as a Boston Marathon runner and she was destroyed via the internet.

She lost her job, her parents were threatened, another man’s business(not related to her) was attacked. All of this was done over the internet.

These girls are desensitized to the loss of life that occurred during the events. However, the level of vitriol coming from those hidden behind the internet is just as bad.

Is is almost as if the people attacking them via the web feel as if they have done something important being part of the destruction of others.

I say cut these people some slack. They are young and will look back on these decisions as stupid. They don’t need anyone else to help them along.

That girl who dressed up like a Boston marathon bombing victim also had her homemade nude shots splashed all over the internet. She’s an idiot, but her stupid choice of a costume certainly did not warrant her to be attacked, threatened with rape and murder, her parents threatened with murder, her boss hounded into firing her, her private pictures put all over the internet and so forth. We have created a nation of anonymous bullies who use the internet to destroy people who would never have even been noticed just ten years ago. This could happen to anyone who upsets the stupid bastards that make up the online/twitter fascist community.

These two crass and morally bankrupt kids(I call them kids because no mature adult would do this) have every right to rub salt in the wound that is 911.
Future employers also have the right to hire people who are mature, adult, and have a decent moral compass.

It is exactly as if!
