I believe that it is unethical, immoral and insensitive for the Daily to exploit our personal loss in the article “Family and friends say goodbye” by Emily McNiel.

Your staff violated the personal and religious sanctity of Uri Sellers’ funeral. As Uri’s friend, I do not need the Daily to sensationalize my grief and the grief of all those who loved Uri, to foster the media’s “benevolence?!” What is benevolent about showing a picture on the front page of the newspaper of my friends’ casket at his interment!

Who do you think you are to defile our sorrow! “Excuse me while I tell you how I feel, things return to me that still seem real.” (Metallica’s “Hero of the Day.”)
