unworthy victim, n.All

An Unworthy victim (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠kept unworthy for a reason: the press's silence is an essential ingredient in the killers' continued freedom to kill.

An Unworthy victim (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠one whose killers are our friends: reported antiseptically if at all, so that the policy behind the killing can go on undisturbed by public concern.

Unworthy victim (n.) are ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠crushed like ants underfoot: we know we will crush them, we do not intend to, and they are not worth the consideration.

Unworthy victim (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠be killed by the tens of thousands without repercussion, because the press has already decided his death does not count.
