There was no reason to publish that picture. I am quiet sure that this man is humiliated enough without having his picture plastered all over your all important newspaper. I understand that he has to answer for his indiscretions but really, was publishing that particular picture so important?
grammahall48, that is a dumb question.
He was a Public Figure!
One that CHILDREN looked up to & respected.
He is supposed to be an educated man with enough common sense to know better than to do something like this!
Why wouldn't it be in the paper.
Quite honestly, I'd be upset if it wasn't!
I see you are a grandmother, I bet you would have a problem with it if it was your
grandchild's principal who got caught stealing from her.
You can't pick & chose who you nail to the fence.
He may have been a great guy at one time, but as of today, he is just another criminal.
The fact is, It doesn't matter how good he was to the kids at Anderson,
he turned right around & stole from those vary kids.
I do feel bad for his family having to go through this public humiliation, yes,
but I do not think he deserves any special treatment because of his job title,
that obviously didn't mean as much to him as some may think.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be splattered all over the Times Daily!
And yes, anyone arrested is innocent until proven guilty, but I am 100% sure
that Lauderdale County Sheriffs Department didn't just wake up & say
"Hey, Lets Go Get Us One Of Them Good Ole Boys Today Just For Some Fun".
I seriously doubt their lives are that dull at the Courthouse!
