Woman's Boston Marathon Bombing Costume: What It Says About Everyone

[joeybee12]

It was the Halloween costume seen ‘round the world: A Michigan woman named Alicia Ann Lynch recently dressed as a victim of April's Boston marathon bombing, sporting runner’s clothing, fake bruises, and splattered blood. And as a result, ignited the rage of the Internet.

On October 31, 22-year-old Lynch posted a photo of herself wearing the costume on Instagram and Twitter, using the handle @SomeSKANKinMI. Shortly after, users descended on Lynch, tweeting their disgust. Responses included:

But the backlash didn’t stop there. When some discovered that Lynch had once posted a photo of her driver’s license online, they used her home address and other personal information to assist with further attacks. 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.

4. totally

If you didn't get it, you must have fallen into a sarchasm. She was tasteless; they were monstrous.

6. Uh, obviously I did get it and didn't fall into your "sarchasm"

of course the behavior of the idiots responding (or rather some of them) was worse than her behavior.

5. The people that went after her and her family are worse than the costume she wore.
