Execution is not sport. Execution is not entertainment.
Do not equate public executions with justice. You have no moral authority to do so. None.
A close friend was brutally murdered 30 years ago. Her home where she was killed was released to us after the police were through. At this moment 30 years later, I can still remember stepping over the threshold I had stepped over a thousand times before, to smell her dried blood, and see the surreal white fingerprint dust everywhere. It is frozen forever for me as a crisp and broken autumn day.
Her murder was not entertainment, not sport, the suffering of her loving survivors are not props and memes for anonymous yahoos to use to claim a right they have not earned, to false justice by taking another life as public spectacle. Those who do, perpetrate another crime against us.
During a Trump era were decency, civility, ethics, morality, and respect are routinely trashed, we have to demand more, to demand better. This cannot continue to stand.
