That made me spit out my coffee. And not because I was laughing.
Journalists have to be one of the most tone-deaf and least sensitive groups of people on this planet. And I thought I was bad.
If you feel like you have to write an article like that mentioning people by their full names, by all means, fine. But maybe leave a grieving wife the fuck alone - at least for a few months. Find a family member that is a few steps removed if you can't contain yourself.
