Those who chose to leap into the fray to defend such abstracts wound up waking up to the sober light of dawn laying beside one Michael Urib. Urib showed the real reason why such sensitive photographs need to be protected from anyone who woke up one morning and decided they were a journalist. Freedom of the press of course.
Free publicity is more like it.
Urib is just one of those chaps, who can't see his name often enough in his desperate bid to live up to his own inflated sense of self worth, and he could care less if you hate him, just as soon as you know his name so afraid is he in this darkness, one day he might disappear. Says, Mikey, the Earnhardts forced him to post those photos. The law recently adopted by the Florida legislature and signed by Governor Jeb Bush makes disseminating autopsy photos a felony. Urib feels that is wrong so his posting of these sensitive photos in complete disregard to the feelings of the family of the deceased or what youngsters might view them, is his statement of defiance, his extended middle finger at the big bad world that's out to get him. Good legal help is so hard to find, especially when you're young, dumb, poor and in the wrong.
