No Sympathy for Steve McNair

I’m listening to a local radio station and I’m surprised and appalled at how callous and unforgiving some people can be. The radio deejay asked listeners to write in or call in and tell her their opinion about the recent slaying of former football star, Steve McNair. The majority of callers seem to believe that because McNair stepped outside his marriage and was engaged in a relationship with the woman who killed him, he was not a good father to his sons. And, he got what was coming to him. Since when does cheating justify murder? I’ll usually take the moral high ground in most situations but the punishment does not fit the “crime.” These people go too far. Even if we don’t factor in the fact that he was separated from his wife at the time when he was engaged in this deadly relationship, how can anyone believe that murder is ever justified? It is not our place to judge the deeds of others. Besides, the circumstances surrounding McNair's death does not take away from who he was as a person--good or bad. I really fear that our humanity is slipping down the drain when I hear about things like this.
