"We need America’s religious leaders to condemn this brutality — bishops of the Catholic Church, the United Methodist Church, and the General Convention of the Episcopal Church; pastors of the Southern Baptist Convention and National Baptist Convention;" (continued in /2)

"If your grandmother saw what you wrote, would you stand by it?
If your kids found it someday, would you be able to explain why you thought it was okay to make jokes about a woman’s murder?"

"Her wife watched her get shot on a snowy street in Minneapolis, and then be refused medical attention by the very people who shot her.
So I’m asking, genuinely, whether that tiny dose of reality ever entered your mind. ...
So let me ask it another way:
If your pastor read your comment out loud in church this Sunday, would you be proud of it?"

"When you typed those words about a woman you’d never met, a woman whose body wasn’t even in the ground yet, what did you feel? Satisfaction? Righteousness? A quick hit of dopamine when you hit 'post'? Nothing at all?
Because here’s what I can’t get out of my head.

To those making jokes about Renée,
'Glad she’s dead, hope more of you get shot, continue to impotently seethe.'
'Roses are red violets are blue now her smug face matches those colors and hue.'
These are things people wrote this week about Renée Nicole Macklin Good, a woman most of us had never heard of ten days ago. I have one post that’s racked up hundreds of comments like this, and worse."
