Jordan Neely was a person.

Our society left him stranded, and, because of his desperation and our warped priorities, his existence filled people not with sympathy but with fear. Then he was killed, and that is a tragedy, because he was a person.

Not just that Neely’s death was a tragedy, but that he was a person.

These are controversial propositions.

I know, because there is a controversy.
