Well potential hyperbole aside, public shaming is the appropriate response (because that's what shame means). We're ashamed of actions because of how those actions are viewed in the context of society, or how they impact society, etc. The only difference (worst case) between the day before this picture and the day this picture was taken is the number of people who viewed the action.

Then he goes to jail. The problem isn't that she was viewed doing something shameful in public (because the psycho might have been walking by and saw her, no Internet photo required), the problem was the disproportionate response.

Poking the poop back in is just an overly emotional description to try and reduce her responsibility. She was taking the dog out for a bathroom break in a place not appropriate for that purpose, if she wanted to avoid the poop there she doesn't have to poke it back in, she just doesn't take the dog where she did.
If I do something shameful in public, then people are going to say "shame on you", it's not a "right", it's a tautology.
