Let me ask you this. Why in God's name do we have to see that terrorist they just killed with two 500 lb bombs? Why are they showing us his face in his death? Do we need to see it? No. Do our children who look at the newspapers need to see it? Who happen to be flipping through and maybe see a snippet on a news channel? No. It's horrible. Senseless. I get it. I get that it's good. I get that he was being hunted and he was a killer and led many people on a spiritual path to death and destruction on both sides of the fence. I get it all. Too much maybe. BUT are we not stooping to their level to show such things in our media now? That's what THEY do. That's how THEY try to get our goats when they want to show something gruesome and really rock our worlds, make us shake in our boots, make us hold our children that much closer and thank God it's not us? That's what THEY do.
I am mortified and very very disappointed in our news media. We don't need to see it. Just tell us he was killed. If you must, go ahead and tell us how you did it tactically. Don't show it to us. Oh. Sorry. I guess it's too late. We have now offically stooped to their level. It's done. This saddens me a lot. When I saw the news last night, I was set off like a rocket. My husband, well, he understands my anger but he tried to explain why they feel they must show his face; vindication (in my world it's called tit for tat or stooping to their level). This morning when I went out to the driveway to get the paper, there he was again, dead on the front page. Why?
It's crass. It's tasteless. It's horrible. We have officially become like them. I don't like it one bit.
