Good morning Auntie,
I am a loyal reader and occasionally I comment on a post or two on your site. Anyway, I saw the mugshot of Amanda Davis and without reading, I said, wow another DUI? Once I read the heartbreaking story that she died, I was taken aback. She was on her way to bury her stepfather and died. Why post her mugshot when announcing her death? I know, I know, it’s your blog, and if I’m not happy here, I can go elsewhere, dear. I know, I know.
However, Sandra this woman has a family, friends and is beloved in the Atlanta community. Death is not the time to post mugshots as if one google search would not have netted you hundreds of pictures to choose from. I am saddened that you would do this. Human decency, I know you have. In the past you have played with us and eluded that you may expose someone’s personal business, (Lala) and out of human decency you didn’t. I just thought you being in the Atlanta area, would not hit below the belt like this.
We all have a chapter in our lives that we don’t read aloud Sandra…
If possible please update the story with another picture, not her mugshot,
for respect to the Davis family.Pepper
