A Kentucky nurse has been terminated from her job following her alleged participation in the riot last week at the U.S. Capitol, which temporarily stopped Congress from certifying the Electoral College victory of President-elect Joe Biden.

Lori Vinson, of Morganfield, Ky., was among rioters who stormed the Capitol last week. She recorded the events on her phone and posted them to social media, NBC station 14News reported.

“I hope that is something I remember and say ‘I’m glad I was a part of that' 30 years from now,” Vinson said of her participation.

She was later fired from Ascension St. Vincent Hospital in Evansville, Ind., on Friday for her involvement. Termination paperwork stated that Vinson was terminated for admitting to engaging in criminal behavior at a high-profile event, while her social media account also revealed her employer, according to the local NBC station.

1. Get a disciplinary action noted on her state nursing license.

Criminal activity should bar you from working as a nurse.

2. So the hospital cares only because it's name is on her social media account?

Good luck trying to get your job back. About to learn what voting for “at will” employment laws means.

3. She'll remember it for at least 20 years, 'til she's released.

I hope she's glad.

4. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Some people are just dummies.

Filled with trump disinformation, she helped storm her nation's Capitol building, videos he own participation then stupidly posts it online.

Do these people have no concept of what criminal behavour is? Did they think that since they were able to walk away and go home, nothing would happen even though they posted it online?

Just stupid.

5. Lori Vinson is famous!!

Can we get Oprah to say to each of these people, “Your getting prosecuted, and your getting prosecuted!”

6. Criminal activity

will not only get you fired, it can lose you your license. Bye, Felicia. See you at Dollar General. Walmart won't even hire ya!

[Yeehah]

9. Please respect working people

Looking down upon retail workers is not polite or even decent.

11. What's wrong with folks working at discount stores?

12. Because you can't make a living wage. That's what's wrong with it.

[obamanut2012]

13. That is what is wrong with the companies, but mocking people who work there

Is disgusting. No matter who they are.

14. When you train

for years to become a nurse (I know how hard that is, I did it myself) and blow it all on one stupid criminal incident so that you lose your license and end up working part time at somewhere like Dollar General or 7-11 because no one else will hire you on account of your criminal record, that just shows what a bleeping idiot you are. I was not mocking working people in the least, and if you don't get the nuances, maybe you should be somewhere else.

7. I hope she hears from another FBI agent

Once with an arrest warrant ... she has no remorse and believes what she did was lawful and appropriate

8. 'I'm glad I was a part of that' 30 years from now,"

Depending on your sentence, you may get your wish.

10. Who would want something like her anywhere around him/her during any hospital stay?
