White Trash
Woman could lose job over disrespectful picture taken at Arlington National Cemetery.
Flipping the bird and posting the picture of it on Facebook could cost two women their jobs at an assisted living center.
That's because the two women didn't give the finger just anywhere. The location was the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery.
Lindsey Stone and her co-worker were on a trip last month sponsored by their employer for residents of the Cape Cod home for the disabled. Stone planted herself in front of a sign reading, "Arlington National Cemetery" "Silence and Respect." She pantomimed a yell and made the obscene gesture, and her friend captured the moment forever in a photo.
Stone thought her Facebook post would amuse her friends. She was apparently taken back when she received outrage from her Facebook friends.
"Whoa whoa whoa ... wait," Stone wrote on Oct. 20, according to the screen shot captured before her Facebook page was scrubbed."This is just us, being the douchebags that we are, challenging authority in general ... OBVIOUSLY we meant NO disrespect to people that serve or have served our country."
She was certainly shocked when a Facebook campaign began calling on her employer to fire her for disrespecting American's veterans.
Her employer, LIFE, Inc., said they are investigating the incident involving Stone and a co-worker who took the photo. The chief financial officer said the nonprofit is appalled.
Both Stone and Jamie Schuh have been placed on unpaid leave.
Stone's father told reporters he too was appalled and his 30-year-old daughter is very sorry to those she offended.
"She's totally apologetic. She apologizes to anybody she's offended," her father, Peter Stone, told me last night.
"She was reacting, I guess, to the sign instead of the place and didn't intend it to be what it turned out to be," Peter Stone told the Boston Herald. "She had a lack of judgment. I think they were just being funny, which is sad. It's not how she or the family feels by any means."

Re: White Trash
as classless and white trash as it is, they have the RIGHT to do it, like burning the flag, if you bought and paid for it, burn it, BUT you better be prepared to have your (BEEP) kicked, or be fired from your job, employer's also have rights....
Re: White Trash
That is the very thing Ive tried to teach my kids, your actions will come back to haunt you. One small lack of judgement can affect your entire life.

Re: White Trash
She and her trash friend, should be locked in a room with the families of people who have lost loved ones in service to this country. If an hour later they are still alive, then let them go on with their lives, if not then do what you do with all trash put it in the ground. And please let me know where they are buried, so I can go take a piss on their grave since they think disrespect is so funny.

If you're going to put it out there for the whole world to view, you better be ready for the consequences.
