Whoever posts pictures of the little boy allegedly lynched by a Lagos mob is as guilty as the lynchers themselves.
If posting gory pictures is your thing, please keep your perversion to your innermost circle of friends by in boxing them. After all, only the likes of tortoise will tortoise associate with.
I know things are hard and people are trying to beat the gun for exclusives as well as be the first to break trending news, but this can still be achieved with a detailed and well written copy, as well as warning your readers that the pictures they were about to click on are of graphic and disturbing nature.
There are no hard and fast rules in these days of jungle journalism, but there are still social and cultural barriers to engaging in the promotion of blissful barbarism.
A word is enough.
