It was the Halloween costume seen round the world: A Michigan woman named Alicia Ann Lynch recently dressed as a victim of April's Boston marathon bombing, sporting runners clothing, fake bruises, and splattered blood. And as a result, ignited the rage of the Internet.
On October 31, 22-year-old Lynch posted a photo of herself wearing the costume on Instagram and Twitter, using the handle @SomeSKANKinMI. Shortly after, users descended on Lynch, tweeting their disgust. Responses included:
But the backlash didnt stop there. When some discovered that Lynch had once posted a photo of her drivers license online, they used her home address and other personal information to assist with further attacks. One user tweeted that he sent Lynch a vile package, others found racy photos of her online and circulated them, and some even tracked down her parents contact information and sent them death threats.
