TV journalist Kaitlyn Ross: “...It’s exhausting to be a woman.”

Mrs Zuriel says: “Ditch the paint, secure your hair so it doesn’t get in your face in a breeze or when you look down at your phone, tablet, or whatever. And wear clothes that don’t advertise your sex appeal, especially at something so serious!”

My wife’s comments remind me of some of the funerals we’ve been to: women dressed like they are at a bar on a saturday night, looking for a good time.

"Why are professional journalists unknowing of basic information related to an institution they are covering?"

Because those are the same kind of outfits they wear in order to seduce individuals like James Wolfe, the former Senate Intelligence Committee Security Director, as well as FBI agents, into giving them information in exchange for sex, money, and gifts.

I’ve noticed that at the last few funerals we have attended.

The younger folks dress like it’s a party. The older folks dress in black dresses and suits.......................

"Heck, here in the South they used to be held on the courthouse lawn on a Saturday, and everybody came with their families and picnic lunches to watch !."

Same thing with hangings at Tyburn Tree (gallows) in London. People would flock there selling food, wares, biographical publications of the more famous people being hung, along with pickpockets, and other sundry criminals plying their trade. The Marble Arch in London is where the Tyburn gallows once stood.

**..Because those are the same kind of outfits they wear in order to seduce individuals...**

My wife and I went to DC in Dec 2020. The provocative women’s clothing appeared to be government standard requirement, since that was what we noticed everywhere.

But, same problem back where we lived most our lives, near Rock Island, IL: the R. I. Arsenal is divorce HQ in the Quad Cities. Deere and Co. HQ a strong second place.

Yes they were. The 4th Earl Ferrers (Lawrence Shirley), was the only peer of the realm hanged for murder. He was executed at Tyburn gallows on May 5th, 1760. I am supposedly related to the de Ferrers/Ferrers family, but I don't know where this guy fits in.

Lawrence Shirley, the 4th Earl Ferrers

I was told at my first job as a reporterette ... the newspaper’s only asset was its credibility. So we had to dress the part. Look serious to be taken seriously. And also, as a reporter you didn’t want to call attention to yourself. That would be unprofessional, too.

declared that the treatment of Shatara was “unacceptable” and “unequal.”

Unequal to what?

Shoes were too revealing?? Ugly shoes, sorry I bothered to look to see what “too revealing” was.

The inmate was pronounced dead at 9:27 p.m.

This is the real, good news.

Period.

She looks like she’s heading out for a night of clubbing looking for casual sex in those photos. If she thinks that’s professional attire then one has to question her profession. I’m no expert on how to dress for an execution but I’d say that’s not it.
