There goes the saying, "innocent until found guilty".

So if I were a popular tech individual who decided to tweet about something I may misheard in a bad way, I can actually get someone fired. The company who fired the guys should have done some investigation instead of basing it off tweets. This is ridiculous; this is the number one reason why I never went back to PyCon.

Given the popularity of "perp walks", this doesn't even hold true for actual crimes anymore, let alone this case.
