She may have. But as a 17 year old who posted a thousand times a day on social media, she just didn't seem experienced or educated enough to understand the consequences of her actions. And clearly, she didn't think there would be repercussions. I don't know how some things manage to go viral when versions of them are repeated everyday but it's not an excuse to not be held responsible for your actions. I was surprised she spoke to the family of the officers, rather than just post internet excuses. That was rather brave to face them. I think she just needs to get off the Internet a bit and grow up a bit, which at her age will happen a lot over the next few years. Even without going viral, I think a lot of people are finding out they are going to be held accountable for their online presence. More regional stories make the news occasionally of people who are fired for their online activities while representing companies, colleges and scholarship committees are looking at the Facebook pages of applicants, and there have been some companies that have asked to be given the login passwords of an potential employee during the vetting process. I would imagine a 17 year old has enough time and opportunity to do better and grow beyond this. So if the point is that her actions are reprehensible, I imagine the solution is for her to develop a better character, which at the end of that segment I felt this experience was helping her to become.

I felt the same way that her story was fib a little. She said that after the post went viral, she called the family of the officers to apologize and said it was a mistake. However, when the story was picked up by the news, I would assume the families would have come forward to defend her and tell everyone she called them, but they didn't. Also, her work come forward and said they suspended her (she said she quit) and there were other posts from her that we anti-cop.


Loving Jesus allows me to hate you...
I bless you in the name of the Father, Son, and Yog-Sothoth!

The only thing I will say is this:
The people who made death threats to her because of the post were dishonoring everything those deceased officers represented.

Yeah, I did not buy her bull sh!t excuse either. She put the laughing face, and then at the bottom put "got 'em" with 3 pistols afterwords. Lest we forget what was going in America at the time of her posting. The St. Louis and later the Baltimore riots. Her words / actions seem like someone who supported the actions against the police, and the ensuing thuggery.
