After
researching the incident I found out that Lindsey Stone took a picture of
herself with her middle finger up and pretending to yell while being in front
of a tomb of a soldier and posted it to Facebook. She claimed that it was an
inside joke with her and her friends. But in my opinion there is nothing funny
about disrespecting the dead. Especially, disrespecting that died while
protecting our country. So in this case it is fair for 30,000 individuals to
have the power to determine the course of an individual’s life based on one
poor choice made on a social networking site. This is a 30 something year old
woman who posted this picture to Facebook. She should’ve known better whether
it was a joke or not. She learned her lesson and the ultimate consequence was
her termination.
