Shamed Facebook poster loses her job
Boston Herald ^ | November 21, 2012 | Jessica Heslam

Posted on 11/21/2012 8:20:46 PM PST by ConservativeStatement

Lindsey Stone — the Plymouth woman taking an online beating for posting a photo of herself flipping the bird at Arlington National Cemetery on Facebook — has lost her job.

“Lindsey resigned and we accepted her resignation,” LIFE Inc. CEO Diane Enochs told the Herald tonight.

LIFE Inc. of Hyannis — a Cape Cod nonprofit that helps adults with special needs — announced tonight that Stone, along with the woman who snapped the offending photo, are not working there.

Ironically, the formal announcement was made on Facebook.

Michelle Malkin’s post helped it go viral. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/photo.php?fbid=10152256469800084&set=a.10151865702380084.869853.269123710083&type=1&theater

I have made the walk up the hill to The Tomb more times than I can count. When in D.C. I see it as my duty and privilege.

Last week I took my aunt through a cemetery on an Army base. It always amazes me just how many headstones are etched “Unknown.”

If ONLY it were four more years of the nightmare. Sadly, he’s going to change the fabric of the country and it’s going to take years to restore it, if it can be restored.

This trouble we are in has been years in the making....it will take years to undo it, if possible. Single women have proved to be the downfall of the GOP.

Sounds like she’s gunning to be in The Chive’s “I do what I want” photos. Seriously though, there seem to be an awful lot of people who are arrested development cases, simply shallow and immature.

The uncensored photo - if you're a FReeper you can handle it.
Flipping off the resting place of men and women who've given their lives to protect our freedoms - astounding. Luckily she's got two years of unemployment, EBT, section 8 housing and likely SSI mental disability benefits to offset her job loss. Oh! Plus free contraceptives and abortions which I highly recommend in her case. Sigh.

ISTR she did this on company time. See earlier threads on the subject for details.

My problem is that everyone on this forum acts as if it is ok to punish people for their beliefs. If she did it on company time, that is one thing but people are fired every day for posting things on Facebook or twitter, constitutional or not this is wrong. That’s my problem, we are a free people(or used to be)and can say or do what we wish, all of you guys sound like DUers celebrating someone being shit canned for what they believe. If YOU can’t see what I’m talking about(not necessarily the constitution)then you are not a conservative but a hypocrite.

Do you think she learned anything?

She’ll probably be groomed to run for office.

My Marine nephew is residing there, thanks to a roadside IED. She’s lucky I wasn’t in the neighborhood, I’d have quite literally kicked her teeth into her throat.

Do you have a facebook page, and can I see it?

If the answer was "yes; no" then what?

The 2012 equivalent of Jane “Hanoi” Fonda?

She never meant to insult the known and unknown soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines who gave the last full measure so she and her friends could act like “douchebags” (her words not mine)?

Isn't that the same line of BS that “Hanoi” Jane is pushing, again?

The correctness of the act not withstanding...another Facebook job loss. Never Ever post for the world to see under your own name. Better still delete your Facebook page.

Her beliefs no, but her actions that is a different story.

If she did it on company time, that is one thing but people are fired every day for posting things on Facebook or twitter, constitutional or not this is wrong.

See post #61, she was on a trip for her employer, escorting special needs adults.

That’s my problem, we are a free people(or used to be)and can say or do what we wish, all of you guys sound like DUers celebrating someone being shit canned for what they believe.

Her employer is also free to do as they wish as well, and once again she was not fired for a belief, but rather for her inappropriate actions.

If YOU can’t see what I’m talking about(not necessarily the constitution)then you are not a conservative but a hypocrite.

Perhaps you might want to reevaluate your position based on more evidence.

She is 30 and she is still “challenging authority in general.”

I challenge the legitimacy and the authority of the zer0bama regime daily.
The government at its BEST needs to be challenged otherwise we fall into a complacent stupor and follow orders like zombies.

That being said this moron got we she deserved. And their is no freedom of speech where employer/employee relations are concerned. And if she had half a brain she would have dumped her Facebook account long ago.

Facebook mining is now step #1 for medical school admissions committees, it’s probably the same for other selection processes.

It’s literally UNBELIEVEABLE what ostensibly smart people put on there.
