31. No, not really.
The point is that there was no significant griping when those other gruesome images were posted, but now that someone has posted photos of Tookie's victims, there's widespread hysteria of the Helen Lovejoy sort. Seems a bit inconsistent and suggests that maybe local standards of decency have more to do with the correctness of the poster's opinions than the horror of the images themselves.

Or, to be blunt about it, I think the objections have a lot to do with the way those photos make a lie of the very carefully cultivated myth of St. Tookie that some people here are pushing.
