And it also bugs me to no end when people refer to the Cleveland tragedy as “inspirational.” (Like in this article on DailyKos). People were tortured and debased for a decade. To use their pain as an inspirational message is disgusting.
Yeah, there is always value to be squeezed out of other people’s suffering.
And look how the article begins:
In all the heartbreaking amazement of the transfixing story coming out of Cleveland, Ohio. . .
Sounds like a commercial for a sappy Hollywood flick. I wonder, if the article’s author had been a victim of this crime, would she refer to it as an amazing and transfixing story? You read the first line and it seems like something totally cool has happened.
The way the Cleveland tragedy is reported is seriously creeping me out.
