Yeah, I'm just not sure the extrajudicial punishment fits the crime.
Absolutely. We're not savages. But since when is the public shaming of social pariahs a new thing? Shit will die down eventually, and her life will go back to normal. But in the mean time— she's learning, the hard way, that sometimes actions can have consequences. She's clearly the type of person who's used to getting her way, by any means necessary. She pulled that, "I'm gonna tell them an African-American man is attacking me," card so effortlessly, and the phone-acting was so spot-on that one almost has to wonder how many times she's done something similar. False rape accusations come to mind.
The dog getting taken away is absolutely justified, in my opinion. She looked like she was going to kill it just trying to get it to shut-up and not move while she was on a call. (*edit: not to mention, she clearly doesn't know how to follow pet-ownership by-laws) I know that's a little like me cheering for CPS, but we can all safely assume the dog would be better off with a less-frenetic owner— especially as a "rescue."
I mean, was it right that she lost her job, too?
No, which is why I partially agreed with you. We're rapidly approaching a new day-and-age when lynching (for the "right" reasons, of course: like to hang NAZIS) will be A-OK. How many people, right now, would cheer and drink themselves to sleep if President Trump were hanged this very evening? We're going to see more shit like this happening. Hell, we haven't even really begun. The public shaming and dog-removal was a good choice, IMO. Job-losing? That's some communist tactic that they've been pulling for a long time, and I totally get what you're saying.
