consequence does not fit the crime or idiocy in this case
This scorched-earth policy against people we disagree with is completely unfair.
Um what? There are banks where their passwords aren't even case sensitive. I would wager most of them store their usernames and passwords in plain text in their database. With the amount of tech companies hacked by a simple SQL injection, all bets are off for how hard a company is to hack. I would bet Facebook uses better security practices than 90% of the companies in the world today.
Facebook accounts are "hacked" via phishing, not some exploit. Bank information is just as easy to "hack".
Who says she's crazy? She picked a freakin' Halloween costume that some internet crazies deemed in poor taste.
Given her @SomeSKANKinMI twitter handle, her plethora of "attention whore" boobie and ass pics previously posted in multiple places on the net, her decision to come to work in a costume guaranteed to offend at least some people, her further decision to post pics of said costume on Instagram and Twitter, it's highly likely that the 100% predictable internet rage (see "attention whore", add "stupid") was the straw that broke the camel's back as far as her employer was concerned.
Given all these indications of her judgment and maturity, she probably wasn't well regarded by her bosses to begin with.
It wasn't a crime, but it did bring unwanted negative attention to wherever she worked, and that's a no-no in most work environments, so, sorry, I disagree, the consequence DID fit her idiocy.
Look, this is no endorsement of the internet busybodies who rose up in high dudgeon and righteous indignation while secretly fapping to the nudie pics they subsequently found.
But the bottom line is she got what she deserved, a life lesson in consequences she was previously too wrapped up in the alluring power of her pendulous mammaries to have grasped.
Don't cry for poor Alicia. She'll land on herfeetknees somewhere.
You build a good case against her but you forgot one thing it is halloween. The work place can reprimand her but firing is too mcuh. If its not in the policy of the company they have to take her back.
If it doesn't fit you must acquit.
While I don't agree that the costume was a good idea, how is this kind of shit any better???
One user tweeted that he sent Lynch a vile package, others found racy photos of her online and circulated them, and some even tracked down her parents contact information and sent them death threats.
Lynch posted to Tumblr that since the onset of the threats, her social media accounts have been deactivated and she told BuzzFeed on Sunday that she had lost her job as a result of the photo. The incident triggered a global discussion about basic judgment on social media and whether cyberbullying (in response to Lynchs costume choice) was justified. Lynch also said, "Ive had voicemails where they want to slit my throat and they want to hang me and tear off my face.

Just enter her name + nude or such on google and you will be rewarded.
Internet 101: If you do anything that offends me in the slightest manner, I have the moral obligation to destroy your life.

Do you have any clue what you're talking about? Firing her is not "too much". The employer can fire her if they want to. She doesn't have a right to keep a job if they no longer need her services.
And I'm sure she wasn't like an Engineer or anything. It looks like she worked at a call center. Plenty of stupid brunette chicks can do that job.
That's why you don't do what this feckless and reckless attention whore did. Consequences in the digital age are magnified like never before.
If only we had people to educate the masses on how anything posted online (in any form) should be considered in public domain. If it is something you wouldn't hand out to your friends when they came over to your house, don't post it online. That includes email. It was not intended for secure communication, and shouldn't be treated as such.
I agree firing her was not crossing the line. Her employer can (and did) fire her for a costume in bad taste.
However, her parents getting death threats and all the internet faux rage (let's be honest, nobody who does this kind of stuff to people is really offended, they are just looking for an acceptable target) that followed. Digging up and spreading nudes is a bit much (even if she did post them somewhere online).
The best part of this is, all those neckbeard ragers doing this are probably jerking off to her pics knowing they will never land a girl half as hot.
Do you think, prior to this blowback, that this dumbass attention whore would have listened? I suspect not.
Your parents can tell you the stove is hot, don't put your hand on it when the burner's just been shut off. And many smarter kids will listen. But others need to find out for themselves, the hard way.
Do we have a statement from the employer, spelling out whether they fired her for the costume or for the calls they got from the "neckbeard ragers"?
Awesome term, BTW. Very apt.

But, for your analogy to fit, we'd have to douse our children in gasoline and burn a vast majority of their body to prove fire is hot.
