[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In real life, I would probably despise this person, but after reading several articles about the effects of the internet mob shaming on people, I think very, very few people deserve it.[/quote]

Why do we even know about this particular case? Isn't something like this private? I get knowing when celebs do dumbass things and have mugshots, but not private citizens. [/quote]

Interacting with the government - whether local or state - isn't a private affair. When she got publicly drunk and arrested she lost her right to privacy. [/quote]

Yes, she lost her right to privacy. But if she had kept her mouth shut nobody would be talking about and because it would not have been all over the news. Before I go further, let me be clear, she is being charged with serious offences. She also, in the course of talking too much, said some very disturbing things. She blew 18, ok and smoke pot. And it's like what, 4:00 in the morning. Do you think she really knew what she was saying? One of the many news broadcasts quoted her saying something about loosing her job or career. But someone made sure of that by deciding to release this to the press. She should be punished for the crimes she is found guilty of committing. She should not have to live in hiding and unemployed due to some !%$#&% that released this to the news.[/quote]

I agree.

The blood sport of ruining people's lives for fun over the internet is a really sad and scary thing.[/quote]

It’s not any sadder than the contortions you’re performing to gloss over extremely disturbing behavior .You don’t get to play with fire and be shocked at getting burned .Carry on [/quote]

She should be punished, which she is...going to jail and having a dui on her record.

But what is the goal, driving someone to be a pariah or to the point of suicide (not uncommon for victims of online ridicule)?  [b]Or hopefully rehabbing this lost, idiotic, drunken soul after she serves her punishment so that she may eventually improve her life and become a functioning, contributing member of society?  [/b]

Anonymous keyboard warriors like yourself are so brave and full of wisdom. However, you lack humanity, compassion, reason and character.  The internet shame culture and its vile sibling of mercilessly attacking and mocking people online to the point of releasing their home address, their family member's info (apparently dead or alive), their children and their work does nothing to improve society and can ruin lives far beyond the person the internet chooses to mock today.

It might be a fun sport for you, and if it is then that is a sad and sorrowful thing.  You really better hope and pray that no one takes your lowest moment (or your not so anonymous dcum internet postings) and puts them out online for viral fodder.[/quote]

Here's the thing though.

For decades this type of 'quiet racism' has been swept under the rug. It's been ignored. It's been whispered about behind hands at house parties when a person had too much to drink. But nothing has changed because people think its perfectly acceptable to have a mindset like this as long as they keep those thoughts/actions/words kept to private settings.

That's why you see women like her, 32 years old, who think because she's white and blonde that she's somehow superior. That somehow that should be her ticket to getting out of jail. Like she doesn't somehow belong there because while she did something wrong, there should be no consequences.

It only comes out when people like her are so enraged or inebriated that they forget to keep their little prim mouths shut. Or you know...when their son/daughter marries someone 'unacceptable'.

It was also very easy to say 'well Rebecca surely isn't like that - you have no proof!' Yeah, now we have proof and hopefully people like her learn a lesson. A lesson that was not instilled in her since childhood - that she is [i]not[/i] better than anyone else and she needs to sit her lily-white butt down.

Whether its quiet racism or quite classism or quiet whatever, it can't be tolerated.

And its not just her FYI:
