17. Those quotation marks

There are a couple where it shouldn't be, at the opening and at the closing, and another one missing later in the text (actually it is an image of text, so I will have to type it out.)

He was killed on camera. No one's family should have to witness that. It's unthinkably cruel that ppl would the go on the Internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man "I don't care that he's dead," "he's not a hero," "he's a scumbag," "he shouldn't be celebrated."

I'm talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk? No, those are actual quotes by Charlie Kirk about George Floyd. (It's) outrageous that anyone would say (such things) about the dead, right?
