Monica Foy, the Victim of a Terrifying Right-Wing Internet-Shaming, Speaks Out (pity party alert)
NY Magazine ^ | September 4, 2015 | Jesse Singal

Tuesday morning felt normal to Monica Foy, a junior and English major at Sam Houston State University. The first thing the 26-year-old, who lives outside Houston with her husband, did when she woke up was check her Twitter and Facebook feeds. Both were full of people mourning the loss of Darren Goforth, a Harris County Sheriff’s deputy who was murdered Friday night by a man named Shannon J. Miles, who came up behind him at a gas station, shot him in the back of the head, and then emptied every bullet in his gun into the officer.

Foy tweeted a dry joke about what she saw as the different ways society responds to different deaths: “I can’t believe so many people care about a dead cop and NO ONE has thought to ask what he did to deserve it. He had creepy perv eyes …”

[Snip]

Disastrously for Foy, the tweet quickly got screen-grabbed and began spreading among right-wing Twitter users, who immediately sought to amplify it. It found its way to Brandon Darby, managing director of Breitbart Texas, part of the far-right Breitbart website. Darby, as he would soon explain, quickly decided that it was on him to step in and defend the murdered deputy’s legacy against the threat apparently posed to it by a college student’s tweet. And as a journalist with a good-size megaphone, there was one obvious way to do that.

Of course someone like Jesse Singal, a drone of the Center for American Progress, would defend the indefensible. (Not like Singal does not have “creepy perv eyes” himself; so that means Ms. Foy has condemned Singal to death too.)

She has a creepy perv double chin, too. Of course I wouldn’t want to point that out and be a right-wing meanie or something.

Perhaps “creepy” pervs are still on the left’s fringe. For now.

Gaw DAM those terrifying right-wingers! People should be able to defend the execution of law enforcement officers any time they want! < /s>

Of course when you shoot someone in the back you don’t see their eyes, so the perp didn’t know that.

That was the best stand-up comedy story that I’ve ever seen.

And you know, she doesn’t sound that dumb, but she’s a moron.

Here’s the comment I posted over there:

Hey, you lefties made this world, now you have to life and suffer in it.

I see “right wing”, etc. I don’t see any mention of the lefites and “feminists” who’ve ruined so many lives with their twitter shaming.

Many people who did not have warrants for assault charges, I’d like to know a little bit more about Mrs. Foy’s back story.

You opened the bottle, now you can live with the genie.

Yeah, yeah, I get it, that’s probably racist.

Foy tweeted a dry joke

'Twas a real knee-slapper.

“That’s when I knew I was FUBAR.”
No, Monica that is not when you knew you were F U B A R. I am pretty sure you knew you were F U B A R when you looked in the mirror or stepped on the scales.
Young lady you really are fat and ugly. Real fat and really ugly.

I had to take a train and two busses to get on her good side. When she laid in the sand at Jones Beach Greenpeace pushed her back in the water. She’s so fat when she goes to a restaurant the waitress doesn’t give her a menu, she gives her an estimate.
