This chick definately is a top competitor for a Darwin award. Not only did she post a pic of herself in costume for the world to see. But she also forgot to remove nude pics and vids of herself from a tumbler account. Appearantly there was is a metric shit ton of it which was downloaded and spread around the net before she could remove it. Oh yea she also had posted up a pic of her drivers license, address included, and she has since lost he job over the ordeal.  :facepalm:


What Happens When You Dress As A Boston Marathon Victim And Post It On Twitter



http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelzarrell/what-happens-when-you-dress-as-a-boston-marathon-victimA Michigan woman who posted her bombing victim costume online has apologized after receiving death threats

Alicia Ann Lynch, a 22-year-old from Michigan, tweeted and instagrammed a photo of herself at work dressed as a Boston Marathon bombing victim for Halloween.


Twitter users were enraged at the costume, and thousands tweeted at Lynch to express their disgust.

It didn?t take users long to discover that Lynch had once posted a photo of her driver?s license and used the information to attack her. (Lynch?s personal information has been blurred out by BuzzFeed.)


The Internet rage spun out of control as Twitter users took out their anger at Lynch by contacting her family. They also circulated nude pictures and videos of her found on Tumblr.


Lynch deleted all of her social media accounts, then later reopened her Twitter to attempt to be forgiven for her costume.

Commenters on a Barstool Sports article about Lynch began to track down all of her information, including her employer and what they thought was her dad?s company.

Boston Marathon victim Sydney Corcoran, who was severely injured along with her mother, Celeste, also tweeted in anger at Lynch

In her reopened Twitter, Lynch said she had lost her job over the costume.

Though the Internet anger continued into November, some tried to end the incessant attacks on Lynch, tweeting that they had forgiven her


Update Nov. 3, 12:50 p.m.: Lynch reached out to BuzzFeed to express her regret at her costume choice. She also chastised those who wished harm on her, saying she would never wish what happened to her on someone else.



It seems as though my outfit was too soon, and will always be that way, it was wrong of me and very distasteful. My costume was not meant to disrespect anyone, ever. I am truly sorry to anyone that I may have offended or hurt with this. I know my apology doesn?t ever fix anything that has been done, but at least know that I am being sincere.
I can?t undo my actions or make up for them, but my apology is a start.

I myself have been through tragic events, I just handle mine differently because that is how I was taught to. I realize I was in the wrong with this and again, I am truly sorry.

I wore a costume to work, with people that know me, and wouldn?t get offended by it. I had even ran the idea by a friend whom had his father in the marathon and he didn?t have an issue with it.

What I did may have been wrong, but is it truly right to wish harm upon someone and say that you?re doing it for the victims? As being a part of a tragic event I never would ever wish what had happened to me upon someone else, as I can say most people wouldn?t wish death upon someone to ?make it right?.


Lynch also claims she didn?t post the apology tweets under her username @someSKANKinMI.


?I had apologized a few hours after posting and the apology went to deaf ears and blind eyes, so I had deleted all my social accounts. It seems someone is trying to look out for me and help me make things better, which I also greatly appreciate,? she said.
