Agree. I wonder if we would have had some of the same sympathetic reactions if the story had started:

T-Dog was a real person. His family wants you to know that.

He was a “big ol’ bear” of a man, tall and strong and slightly rotund, with a shaven skull hiding a strong-jawed, handsome face. His given name was Tyquan Marvin Washington, though most people called him T-Dog. He could come off gruff, and he didn’t watch his language.

Rhyne loved his kids and sports and Miller Lite. He worked at the same place for 19 years, pouring iron at a foundry. You couldn’t drag him away from his hometown, Ranger, Texas, a decrepit place nearly a century removed from its oil-field heyday. He still hung out with his ex-wife, Rocki Hughes, and he kept the high-school rings they’d exchanged at their wedding tucked away in a box, along with old Father’s Day cards.
