Women fired over tasteless Boston Marathon bombing costume

She was only fired from Walmart. That is not really being fired..it's being released.

"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."

This shows the true spirit of hobby jogger marathoners.

12 black kids were shot by other black kids in Chicago last weekend. 4 times more deaths than Boston. Won't get 2 seconds coverage. The police state hypes up their false flags. STILL ZERO EVIDENCE THE 2 THEY SAID DID IT HAS BEEN SHOWN.

Those are black kids. If white people even try to help stop it they get called racist. This is why the other 90% of the country doesn't care.

I'm sorry to point that out, but something is wrong with you.Were you abused as a child?

One of my favorite costumes was a guy dressed as a priest with puppet of a young child attached to his groin by the rear end.

I'm surprised there's not much talk about all the great nudity this chick has on the web that was revealed after this. Nice shower scene- looks like those implants are about a DD. Hard to believe she could make enough money at Walmart for some new huge tubes.

Doesn't matter anymore what is offensive and what isn't. All that matters is "trial by internet"...and she lost. Honestly it looks more like one of those Zombie 5K runners than a marathoner to me. I think her shirt even says 5K on it.

I think the costume is clever and well done. If she were my coworker, I would have laughed and given her a high-five. Halloween costumes are about fun and creativity. If you're offended, go suck on a lemon. One of my favorite costumes was a guy dressed as a priest with puppet of a young child attached to his groin by the rear end. This was, of course, right after the priest child rape scandal. Again, if you're offended, go suck on a lemon.

I was at the marathon. I heard the blasts from only 2 blocks away. I saw people screaming, crying, and running for their lives. That day was the most frightening and saddest day of my life. I am not at all a victim, because I wasn't injured in the bombings, but still I am very offended by the costume.

If it were your brother, sister, father, mother, child, or close friend that had been killed or maimed, you might not find it so funny.

The other costume you mentioned is just sick. You are a sick and twisted individual. You have no compassion for other people. Go suck on a lemon.

I defend her right to be a tasteless, insensitive idiot.

The folks who threatened her need a visit from the FBI and possible prosecution for engaging in their own terrorism.

Idiots.

The costume was too soon but people who are threatening her need to look themselves in the mirror and see the real problem.

She's far more worried about the size of her buubies than she is about her 5k time.

That is what really offends me.

I was at a Halloween party last year where I counted 3 Osama bin Ladens. 10 years ago somebody would have gotten fired over that. People need to lighten up.

Three? Only thing I'm offended by there is the lack of creativity

15 Americans killed by terrorists in the last 12 months.

32,000 Americans died from gun violence (including homicides, suicides and accidents) in 2011.

Maybe people should be fired for dressing in costumes related to gun violence.

It was in poor taste but I hope they have something else on her. If costumes were allowed at work and no guidelines in place they'll be forking out some money to her and her lawyers.

The costume was in poor taste but firing her over people being offended might be even worse taste.

Racy pics?

People love to be shocked and outraged, that's why they watch the news.

If you went up to someone on the street and said, guess what, someone in another state dressed up as a bombing victim for halloween, they would shrug. It's far away and doesn't affect them.

But on news and the internet, they take the faraway, irrelevant things and put them in your face so you can pretend they happened to you and act offended. It is the Two Minutes Hate.

There are two reasons for this, I think. Obviously the government knows that a public that hates together stays together. But I also think most Americans are too rarely offended in their daily lives and need to see horrible things on TV and the internet. Otherwise they will get bored, depressed and die.

Your post is really stupid.

+1

You are mistaken because state is not prosecuting her for distasteful Halloween costume but it is the public/private entities that are reacting to this.

You've got to be kidding me. Three people died, numbnuts.

She has got GIGANTIC boobs!
