A few more thoughts on the haunted city...

Last year, the Seattle Police Department revealed to the world that its members were made of the stuff of the Ancient Greeks. In Sophocles' play Antigone, King Creon punishes Polyneices’ crimes against the city by having his corpse thrown into the desert (“…leave him unburied, a corpse for birds and dogs to eat, a ghastly sight of shame”). Similarly, a member of the SPD took a digital image of the corpse of the man who committed crimes against the city (Maurice Clemmons killed four Lakewood cops), and threw it onto the internet. But whereas a corpse in a desert will rot, be eaten by birds and worms, the shame of Clemmon’s bullet-punctured corpse will be exposed to human eyes forever and a day.
