By now, the death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis has been converted into a digital spectacle, parsed, dissected, meme-ified, and moralized across social media platforms. Nevertheless, Christian moral reasoning does not require complete forensic clarity before speaking to the broader ethical issues of a situation. What can be stated with confidence is that the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good were eminently avoidable. Alex Pretti and Renee Good made profoundly unwise decisions. Bishop Barron is right: accountability belongs to where the flames were fanned, where the rhetoric deliberately displaced wisdom, and where moral responsibility was outsourced to political spectacle.
