Comment in question Posted by rasclots33 , on Oct. 19, 2009 11:21AM I am a current student and member of Western Washington University. As a student I like to be informed about what happens on this campus and sometimes the Western Front is the only outlet that I have access to for news that occurs on this campus. A tragedy like this one is very emotional and hard to deal with. My condolences go to the family and friends who have been affected by this situation. I am very concerned about the posts above. Some of them came off as threatening. Many of you seem to have been closely connected to Professor Grimes. I hear that the article may have been too gruesome and printed too soon. What I appreciated about the article is that it highlighted that Professor Grimes made his students laugh and has made a positive impact on many students’ lives. In addition as to why I appreciated the article is that it brought clarity to this incident for me and possibly many other students who may have witnessed it. I’d like to end my post by saying that both journalism and anthropology are intrusive in nature and may lead to controversial career decisions. They both play a major role in contributing to society. Nobody is right or wrong in this situation. I hope that people can be more compassionate towards each other. I can’t imagine what it feels like right now as the reporters of this article whose work has been criticized to this extent. Thanks to the Western Front and the individuals who have expressed their concern over the printing of the article.
