What’s most shocking – Saudi Arabia butchering a journalist or that we are outraged despite them killing thousands in Yemen?
I’m not sure what is more shocking – butchering a Washington Post Journalist or that it’s taken that murder to outrage everyone about Saudi Arabia when they’ve already killed thousands of civilians in Yemen.
