Subway flasher ID'ed?

It is sad, some of the abuse she's getting there, even tho most people seem supportive. How can people think this is acceptable behavoir? Would they think the same thing if the victim was a child?

I think part of the problem is the anonymity of the online world. It's a problems that has existed since day one on the Internet.

Sad but true.

And what's sadder is people seem overfocused on the novelty of someone taking a camera phone photo rather than the weight of the event itself.

Before the thread was removed from Flickr, I think you'll find that several people did actually attempt to bring to the attention of the mob that if they had the wrong person, they were making a terrible mistake.

Of course the message was lost amongst the whitenoise generated by idiots saying genuinely nasty things that you've already mentioned, and the mob hollering for a head on a platter.

just to complete the circle on this particular story . . .
