The Saga of a 'See Ya' Letter to a Small Town

A jury is deliberating right now on the bizarre case of Cynthia Moreno, a student from Coalinga who wrote a rant on the Internet. While attending Cal Berkeley in 2005, she declared the people who live in Coalinga are dinks who will never experience all the great thinks she will. “That’s right, fucking envy me,” she wrote on her MySpace page in 2005. Then the local paper published it. Then Moreno got death threats. Someone shot her dog.
