‘Disgusted’ reader

Dear Editor:

RE: Belwood man to be sentenced to life for murder of grandfather, Nov. 2.

The start to this article is unbelievably unnecessary. Your paper is not a movie script; the scene described was that of the result of a tragic real life horror story.

George Gemin deserves respect from the paper in his community.  I did not know him, but he was a person, a once-living man, who was obviously a father, a grandfather, presumably a husband, a man who most likely had friends and he died a horrible and possibly a very scary and painful death.

To have the scene of this incident dramatized in your paper as it was is unacceptable. Yes, you have a disclaimer prior to the start of the article, but that doesn’t make it “okay” – have some compassion!

I am a disgusted avid reader of your paper.
