The part of the story that matters is that a child is dead by violence and her siblings witnessed it. Victims matter more than perpetrators, especially when they were powerless to change the outcome. Her name is Tahirah; his name should be forgotten.

I just moved to Seattle a few years ago, so I was a bit baffled by all of the #12 flags, banners, signs, and jerseys around the city. I figured it out recently, though: the "12" refers to 2012, the year the fanbase was established.

how quickly they forget.

Right, because no player in Seattle’s history has ever been accused of taunting or lack of class....

That must be the most infuriated she’s been in all her 4 years as a Seahawks fan.
