In reply to the discussion: Girl Who Dressed As Boston Bombing Victim, Threated With Rape And Death, Fired From Job, And Had Nud [View all]Vashta Nerada
(3,922 posts)232. Absolutely disgusting the way she was treated.
The costume was in poor taste, but that's no reason to threaten her and her family. Posting nude pictures of her is reprehensible. Losing a job over this is stupid.
I hope the pigs who did this to her are happy.
