Unnecessary Shaming: NY Daily News
The NY Daily News has unnecessarily shamed a man who died yesterday.
Charles Cheeseboro, Jr., 43, was involved in a scooter accident that left him with a serious head. He succumbed to his injury two days later. He was living homeless at the time. He used to work with the Doe Fund, a nonprofit that assists homeless people. He was outgoing and loved to make people laugh.
It could have been a nice tribute to someone that died tragically or a cautionary story about the dangers of riding e-bikes, but instead the NY Daily News needed to tarnish it by writing “he was a registered sex offender”; a fact that didn’t contribute to his death nor would the reader’s knowledge at this time protect the public in any way… it’s just another case of unnecessary shaming.

They did a similar parasitic fear article of a man that was a victim in a train wreck a few years ago (in Washington I believe).. They went out of the way to proclaim he was on DA LIST! They intentionally shamed and made a spectacle out of him posthumously for mouse clicks and monitizing misery!
Welcome to America! Where hate, shame and bullying is normalized as routine.
I sent my e-mail to both. I gave them a piece of my mind and hope they dang well had a good appetite for it. I told them they were not journalists because journalists have ethics and scruples. I told them they were nothing more than fear and hate-mongering rag writers and a pair of hateful bullies. I told them their message was clear, “The world is better off without Mr. Cheeseboro because he was a sex offender. Do not waste your tears on this man.”
I sent 2 emails to the authors. Now a question…what was the statue of limitations for sex crimes in Florida before the new statue comes out next july?
