Facebook Photo Of Plymouth Woman At Tomb Of The Unknowns Sparks Outrage

If she really wanted to impress someone she could have tried to assault one of the tomb's guards........And then post the picture's of the sentry's response.

But she was on a work-related trip, and her supervisor was the one who took the photo. I think that makes it worthy of losing her job.

Not sure about their union status which may mandate "Just Cause" but there are three "causes" to fire someone in Mass, "Good cause", "Bad Cause", and "No Cause". These allow an employer to fire anyone for any reason whatsoever, except for an "illegal" cause (race, color, national origin).

I think my point got lost in translation. I have not called for her death, nor deportation. I do think she should be fired. My point is that she has every right to do what she did, her employer also has every right to shit can her.

I've read comments on FB and online saying "she should sue her employer. She has 1st Amendment right to do that." That's who I was calling idiots.

When I saw it, it didn't seem to me that they intended it to be an to insult those laid to rest there, as the apology later echoed. Stupid! stupid! stupid! thing to do, but It didn't come off as intentionally anti-soldier or some kind of statement.

A guess they learned a few lessons the hard way.

They were both fired.

1. Being silly or expressing yourself is O.K.
2. Doing it while on the clock, responsible to provide services to adults with special needs, would seem to be the only issue here.

So there you have it simply. She acted a certain way while employed and accompanied with persons under her guidance, who arguably could be influenced or impressed by said actions. Employer deems it unprofessional conduct and feels it harms the company image, AND potentially the clients receiving services? See ya later. Even the best public-sector job, with a strong union backing you there would be a suspension at least.

Even if she mean it in an ironic way and not a disrespectful way, I wouldn't want someone that stupid working for me.

She went into this knowing what she was going to do and looking for attention, guess what - she got it , and it backfired in her face.I believe thats the ONLY reason she did it.

In your profession i'm sure you have had your share of people who have stepped on their D*cks, but i am sure we have not heard the last of this lindsey broad, she may end up all over the friggin talk show circuit as a result.

This is NOT a 1st Amendment issue, this is a "rude and disrespectful behavior" issue. Parent to child:" you are at (fill in the blank) now behave yourself"! We have all said these words, apparently her parents didn't say them often enough. She was at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, not some bar! For heaven's sake, have some respect and manners.

JAP, that photo is both funny and disturbing at the same time. I didn't know you wore a banana hammock

Just because I can legally wipe my ass with Old Glory doesnt mean I would or that their wouldn't be serious consequences. Instead of losing her job she should have to volunteer at Walter Reed and speak at schools about The Tomb,the meaning behind it and the individuals that are their 24/7/365.

Exactly...and JAP your reputation went straight down the drain with me for using the word "retarded" to describe her actions.
