City The P-I’s Craptastic Headline
Maybe I’m being hypersensitive, but today’s Seattle Post-Intelligencer cover headline makes me want to puke.
As the P-I story puts it, “One young man told Seattle police he invited Kyle Huff to his after-hours party because he was ‘sketchy’ and gave off ‘bad vibes’—and he thought it would be entertaining to have someone like that at his house.”
Nice try, P-I, but there’s no fucking way you can blame this crime on the victims—not if you want to sleep at night.
David...
The blame for the killing can only fall on Kyle Huff's shoulders. NO-One disputes that.
However, there are ancillary questions that need to be addressed.
Regrettably, I cannot in good conscience hear that 14 and 15 year old children (whether they be boys or girls) should have been anywhere near this after hours party.
What adult (I don't care if it's an 18 -year old or a 36 year old) would thinks it's cool to have an unsupervised Junior High School Kid in their home, let alone at 5,6,7 etc..AM?
That's not even discussing the aspect that alcohol and pot were available at the party.
I don't want to sound like an old woman, but christ man, that's a screwed up scene.
