I run a childcare program, and I can guarantee we would let someone go who posted publicly like that. I think it is completely out of line for people to be so mean to her over what was just a dumb FB post, but I’m not at all surprised at the termination. Parents (especially in small towns) talk A LOT, and all you need…
Yet another interpretation is that Anna Merlan was pleased to find an excuse to get her Cool Chick Boho on. Oh, those mommies, giving a flying fuck about people who watch their children all day! Such busybodies, amirite?
I’d be more sympathetic to her if she didn’t work with kids. They deserve better, and the daycare was right to fire her.
named "TrekRider", lol
Says the guy typing on a videogame website. Be more stereotypical.
I completely agree. It's on par with people who say that celebrities have no right to try to avoid paparazzi because they're famous and aren't entitled to privacy anymore. Completely ridiculous.
Which is precisely what I'm getting at…the ability to watch some poor schmuck get swatted in Illinois from the comfort of your home in Nevada. That's new. And it's the result of a whole new toolset available to today's crop of asshole teenagers.
To be more specific, asshole teenagers (and assholes in general) are still assholes. This wouldn't have occurred to me at the age of 8, 12, 15, 19, etc. Shitty people are just shitty, and no amount of PC "everyone is inherently good" justification can fix that.
Its only a matter of time before someone is killed because of this.
The part of his logic that I think is the absolute worst is that if you are a internet personality, you have to live with the risk of being swatted. It's like saying you have a safe full of money, so you should expect someone to try and rob you.
I would pay good money to watch one of those assholes crying for his mommy when the judge gives him 20 years in federal prison.
All swatters should be charged with attempted murder.
Can't beat this Indiana fan's insightful comment, replying to his local station's story:
