Anonymity doesn’t make hate speech OK
I’m pleased to see that the Metro Nashville Police Department has arrested the primary suspect in the two murders committed at Bellacino’s in West Meade Friday night. This is a brutal, horrible act, and I hope justice will be served.*
Note the comments thread that is developing in response to the Tennessean’s breaking news item. I don’t want to include the full text of the hateful and shameful remarks that are being posted, but I have included a screen capture (above; click to see full size). Anonymity doesn’t make joking about an incident where two people lost their lives any less despicable.
*I oppose the death penalty for philosophical reasons, but if convicted, I do hope that the suspect serves a full life sentence for this crime.
