Imagine if every drunk hanging out at the bars on the squares got their picture posted online when they make a public jacka$$ of themselves, and they have a family and have to earn a living. My parents told me growing up, "it takes a lifetime to form your reputation, and only a minute to destroy it".
Posting their pictures online is not necessary since this was voluntary and not predatory behavior.

Both were totally out of line, and to me, appear from the story to be very drunk. I know I can't prove that but so it seems to a practiced eye.
On line ridicule and mockery is the modern version of being put in the stocks in town square, only we don't wait for a trial. It is painful to them and their family, it is beyond embarrassing, and, please God, it may be their needed "bottom" and wake up call from above.
I hope so, and I too will say prayers for them this evening for God's grace to let them go forward.
