        @jbenton it's reporting that used to happen at the scene without location constraints and now extremely public. looks tacky, no protocol...

        @jbenton ... what are the limits on who, when, how to go about it? (especially given ease of DMs now). not often that successful either.

        @jbenton All the examples people are tweeting rn look bad. Appear tactless, unlikely to get anything valuable. More likely to harm.

      @jbenton so you are entitled to trample on their tragedy? Entitled to be disgraceful?
