 More fake news?  You would think these vaunted news sites would actually do their homework.  I guess the Leftist Mob was at it again.  IMO, anyone found to be doxing anyone should be facing the death penalty since they have subjected the doxed person to the potential same fate.

 

A video of me at a boarded-up store went viral. The social media mob got every fact wrong.

Perhaps you saw my 17 seconds of infamy: A viral video of a young woman briefly holding a power drill before a boarded-up storefront, having her picture taken, then quickly leaving in a car.

The short video gave the false impression I was posing for an Instagram photo whose phony purpose was to advertise my virtue as a volunteer worker in post-riot Santa Monica, California. 

On Twitter, the video has received tens of millions of views. Both LeBron James and Pink retweeted it, and denunciations of my behavior poured in.

My social media accounts were inundated with hate. I lost an internship. I received more death threats than I can count. 

And it all happened because nobody knew what transpired in the hours leading up to those 17 seconds — and millions of people were ready and even eager to assume the worst.

Here’s the part you didn't see in the video.

As the doxing mob connected me to the Examiner, "#FireFiona" began to trend. The Examiner’s social media platforms were overrun with spite and slander directed at me.

Worst of all was the sensational claim that the Examiner had fired me. This was completely  false, as the Examiner’s own statement made clear. In reality, The College Fix, the sponsor of my internship, had canceled it. This nonprofit newsgroup, which helps young people begin careers in the media, didn’t really have a choice. It had become impossible for me to have a successful experience at the Examiner due to the social media mob, which continues to barrage not only myself but the publication as well.

 

Hopefully the Examiner brings her on (even if it's a temporary gig or internship type contract to replace the work she missed out on). It would be a good statement against the moronic mob.

I agree, I would also talk to the local police and see if they can do any traces regarding who she searched for the license plate.  I would think there would be some sort of trace to see who was digging.
