I was sickened to pick up the paper on Monday and see the pictures on the front page regarding the homicide victim. I do not know the victim but I find it absolutely despicable and heartless that The Citizen would choose to publish such graphic pictures. I was so bothered by it, I could not read the story or look at the pictures for a second time and threw the paper away immediately. My stomach knotted immediately thinking of the family and friends of the victim that may have seen these pictures.
Nobody wants to see their family member slain, lying in the street, on the front page of their local newspaper. This has been a topic of conversation today and the majority believe, The Citizen crossed the line publishing these pictures.
You placed a horrible image in front of them and now they will carry that forever. How very, very sad for his family and friends.
Shame on you for your dispassionate choice.
