‘Massacre’ coverage lacked important information

While I appreciate your coverage of the “Bowling Green Massacre Memorial” events that took place in town, it’s a shame that you neglected to report that all the proceeds from the specialty pizza sales are being donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit organization that combats hate, intolerance and discrimination through education and litigation.

Also, one of your photos features Justin Swindle holding the collection box that contained donations for the Bowling Green International Center, yet you failed to mention that that was a focus of the gathering. Coverage in every other newspaper I’ve seen included those facts, and I have to wonder how (or why) our own hometown paper could have neglected them.
