The Bombing of Social Media

This story has been flying around the internet lately. The young lady in the article dressed as a survivor from the Boston Marathon Bombings that happened earlier this year and is receiving havoc for it. Yes, she was dumb. Yes, she was classless. However, she did not deserve what she received. I would be willing to say that she acted without thinking at all. I'm sure that if she would have sat and thought about it she would not have posted that picture on Twitter or would not have even dressed up like that at all. This isn't even the whole story. The part that really disgusts me is all of the hatred that she received. Death threats to both her and her parents were a huge part of this along with sending racy photos around the internet. The people that did this did think about what they were doing and still decided that it was a good idea. They clearly had to do their homework to find these pictures of her, her telephone number and address to send her the threats, and her parents contact information as well. In what world is it acceptable to send death threats for an occurrence like this let alone any occurrence at all? Not one that I want to live in.
