I don't usually visit WS on the weekend but family in Detroit who are peripherally connected to some people in Chef Doug's circle called to tell me about the body found yesterday.... Mixed emotions all around but mostly sad that anyone could meet the end of their life this way.
I'm going to just say it. A lot of young black men who go missing don't get the same attention or coverage or concern, often due to the resources LE has, or for many other reasons. I am glad that Doug's story touched as many people as it did here and I hope that we continue to share updates and that justice comes for Doug and all those who knew and loved him. Someone certainly didn't.
So very sad for his family. My heart goes out to them, who will have to learn to live with their pain. May they choose a path that leads to gentle healing and a way to honor all that this man was.
