Once upon a time in a land far, far away... OK, well, actually several years ago in the OC, there was an 18-year-old who at least dabbled in cocaine and she got in a fight with at least one of her parents, took their expensive sports car for a late-night high-speed drive, and got herself mangled and killed in the process. Thankfully, she did not kill anyone else.
The responding law enforcement agency documented the accident scene, including taking pictures.
Some unprofessional members of that agency leaked the pictures.
Those pictures have found no small audience online. That's bad enough.
Unfortunately, some people took to cyberbullying by sending and delivering the photos to the deceased's family.
The family has just now reached a settlement. It is too bad that taxpayers, or an insurance company hired by taxpayers, are paying for this settlement.
I've deliberately been vague about this. You really don't need to search for the pictures.
The deceased suffered for her bad choices.
Shame on those who leaked the photos.
Shame on those who have bullied the family.
A look at the world from a sometimes sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek, decidedly American male perspective. Lately, this blog has been mostly about gender issues, dating, marriage, divorce, sex, and parenting via analyzing talk radio, advice columns, news stories, religion, and pop culture in general. I often challenge common platitudes, arguments. and subcultural elements perpetuated by fellow Evangelicals, social conservatives. Read at your own risk.
