Oct 2023

the graphic photo of Emmett Till REQUIRED the consent of his mother. You can't just go splashing around the photos of dead people, especially kids, out into the public domain without permission of the parents/family.

So let me ask this, knowing what we know about how the parents of the Sandy Hook kids were relentlessly harassed, you ready to demand the parents/family be subjected to not only the assured harassment from the gun nuts and conspiracy nuts but to FOREVER have to repeatedly see those horrific photos out there over and over and over as they have them constantly emailed to them, have their house wallpapered with them, get them in the mail etc.? Because in 2023 you KNOW, or should know, that is EXACTLY what will happen.

p.s. Did the photos of Till "change the world" really? Till was murdered in 1956. Lynchings still occurred in Mississippi until 1968 "officially" but happened as late as 2000.
