Sounds like a lot of fun and…
Sounds like a lot of fun and the case files look very authentic!
I was dismayed, disheartened…
I was dismayed, disheartened and distressed to see the marketing for this event ( on Facebook and on the AADL website). Murder isn't a playful event to re-enact for entertainment.
Think of it this way, would the library sposor a fun mystery game called "Rape at the Gallagher Gallery" complete with playful videos about the suspects and fun meet ups for library patrons? Probably not. That would be in bad taste and offensive. Rape is an act of violence. And murder? The ultimate act of violence.
I hope that the AADL will consider an apology to those of us who's lives have been shattered by violence and consider canceling this event and never promote murder as entertainment again.
