it's the media, and you, not the DJ's or the hoax aka get the hell off the snark bandwagon

don't you people realize
there has been many a prank played like this one
really it was harmless, and funny - before someone got hurt.

don't lie..how many of you laughed or thought ohh busted, or made a smartass comment? and i wonder how many of those same people that thought it was innocent and funny before she took her life, and helped it go around the globe, then sent hate mail to the DJ's.....

they didn't mean anything by it you know.
how dare you all speak to them as if they should now die - seriously??
will you be satisfied when you have BULLIED THEM the same way you BULLIED Jacintha until they have taken their lives? will the mouth of the beast then be silenced or will you then berate yourselves..or the media...who will be the next target. and eye for an eye until the whole world is blind eh?

who could know that just getting past someone's guard would fly around the globe like this? a hoax that, in times past, would have possibly resulted in a few laughs that didn't get much further than Australia and possibly the UK for a bit...the US may have even picked up on it for a moment. But now, it flies around the entire world faster than the speed of light...and the flashing lights of smart ass comments for a tired, but kind and efficient, nurse's mistake filled the sky like a million stars -
each one piercing her skin anew until she couldn't take it anymore. so so sad. but the DJ's didn't want that. they couldn't forsee she was in that place....

you could see in pictures of her she was tired already...i could see it
who knows if she was already battling depression or struggling...or just tired from giving so much of herself to others for so long. and making a simple mistake like this could just as easily have turned into blushing and laughing at yourself and ohhh i'm so sorry, and the royals aren't angry with you and your not in trouble at work so it blows over and is no big deal

instead we have a woman who was totally drowning in the tidal wave of the worlds opinion of her mistake and it was too much

it was YOU...you see? you and the media...not the simple hoax, and not the misguided DJ's who truly didn't think they'd get through on the phone or that she would actually do something so shocking as take her own life and destroy so many other lives in the process over a joke. and don't go on about it being a bad joke...it was funny until someone got hurt, like all jokes.

and now the beast turns its jaws on the DJ's....who i've read are shattered by this. of course they are...they are in it for the laughs. not for destroying people. they certainly didn't think anything like this would happen....or that she would literally be BULLIED TO DEATH by the media and the world

so now it turns on them and they feel the weight of the heat and the anger and the super snark of the media and the world as they cry together with their families and friends and each other, for the nurse and knowing now what she went through...devastated that such an innocent prank could turn out like this.

and do we show them any compassion?

can we not look into their faces and see their pain as well and hug them and tell them we know you didn't mean anything like this to happen....and we are so sorry that something relatively innocent turned out so badly. can we not surround them with love as they learn from this terrible lesson the same way that we should surround Jacintha's family with love as they also deal with the fallout from this terrible mistake?

surely the media and the public should take a look at themselves and how everyone thinks nothing of letting their comments fly...but it's not just one comment anymore people. it becomes hundreds, and then thousands, and then hundreds of thousands and more in no time at all. and you bury people until they can't breathe

are you going to be satisfied when you've destroyed two more people?

i read that now the hospital is calling the hoax 'appalling' and i laughed.
the hoax itself wasn't appalling...has anyone looked up the definition of that word? the treatment of the nurse afterwards was appalling...and the way people are treating the DJ's now is appalling. But the hoax was just people playing an innocent prank..nothing was told that hurt anyone at all..and their accents were terrible. It was funny. It's just too bad that the sweet nurse got caught in the middle of the tsunami of media interest and public backlash and in my opinion it's appalling that the hospital didn't recognize sooner that she was having trouble with it and give her the kind of support she needed. Seems to me she was left alone to deal with most of the fallout and faded fast. Why was this not seen? why did no one at the hospital have a clue? because they were dealing with the media and had forgotten about the one crucial element to the entire story...Jacintha.

don't blame the DJ's because you forgot to take care of her or notice she was in trouble. and don't blame the DJ's for the media jumping on this and broadcasting it all over the world...and don't blame the DJ's for all of the thousands of smart ass comments that were posted about Jacintha before she killed herself.

That was you.

think about jumping on the snark bandwagon next time someone makes a mistake...you never know when it could be your mistake that is broadcast around the world for everyone to comment on.

and think about jumping on the snark bandwagon right NOW with the DJ's. look at their faces...look into their eyes. they are crushed by this.

leave it be. enough.
