Thought and prayers going out to her family. I wish for you a full Recovery!
I hope your friend recovers quickly but I don’t agree that this is sickening. I understand that you have an emotional attachment to this case and don’t want to see your friend in a situation like this.
But I don’t think most people would agree that this is sickening at all.
I believe as long as a photo is not used to mislead people there is no reason not to publish it as long as the source is verified and it isn’t used to simply shock people and it is published in an appropriate place. Sometimes the reality what happens in the world is so shocking in itself and the visuals we get bring us closer to reality than some people feel comfortable with.
Just my .02 worth.
What a horrible picture to post! I know for a fact LCSO could have provided you with pictures of the damaged vehicle. A “better & more detailed picture of the severity.” Why include the blurred driver?! This is sickening! As a personal friend of the driver, I ask you to have a little taste and take this picture down!
