Sent a disgruntled letter to the editor titled “de mortuis nil nisi bonum”.

In reply to Forgiven. Sounds like you have realized that it is better to be a surviver rather than a victim. And that is a wonderful thing.

As a victim childhood sexual abuse, I’m appalled by this article. There’s no need to drag his past which brings up the victim’s past into this. I personally have forgiven my past hurts and choose to move forward.

I went to read and comment on their Facebook page and there was over 300 comments of people disgusted with the fact that this was even raised. The general consensus was not that of scorn and derision, but of compassion of the death of the man and condolences to the family. It was surprising.

This is what I sent: I am writing in reference to your recent story (12/20/2017) titled “Third man killed in Washington state Amtrak derailment was convicted for child pornography.” I have to question the motivation for this story. First of all, does the persons past make his death less tragic? Suppose he had been convicted of drunk driving instead or domestic abuse…would you have included that in your article to sensationalize a tragic event? I am ashamed that there are those in our country that will not even let a person be killed without shaming them publicly after they are gone. It may surprise you to realize that sex offenders ARE humans and they actually have people that love them! Shame on you for hurting his family like this!

Emailed this moron a few words to think about, suggested that he writes about the modern day Nazi Regime of the USA (Sex Offender registry) instead of this insensitive, disrespectful garbage that he wrote about this tragic event.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

Guess they never heard the saying about speaking ill of the dead. It’s also lousy journalism since it’s totally irrelevant to the story.
