There are a lot of obscene things about this story, but the fact that there is a GoFundMe for this baby rather than millions of dollars dedicated to his lifelong care by the state of Georgia is right up there at the top. The state forced this child to be born into a life of pain and procedures.
This remains one of the most disturbing stories of the year. A 1st trimester fetus incubated in a dead woman's body against the will of her family until a very early term birth when the corpse could no longer sustain life.

You can extrapolate this tactic all the way down to local police. No matter how absurd, they’ll frame any victim of their violence as the aggressor. Even if unarmed and drowning.
I cannot imagine the level of moral bankruptcy to describe the actions of people whose boat has just been hit by a missile from nowhere (this was the FIRST such strike) and who were most likely making a desperate attempt not to drown in the ocean as trying to "stay in the fight."
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."
