One Dead Journalist vs. Thousands
October 20, 2018
Yes, it is a horrible thing that the Saudis killed that journalist. I keep hearing people talk about how his family must be grieving over his death. Yet, hardly anyone gets upset when the Saudis execute drug dealers or kill people in Yemen. And no one gets upset when the U.S. kills people all over the world via drone, bombs, or bullets. They have grieving families too you know.
