"I told him that I thought it was brutal and cruel. He should think about the implications of what he’s saying and doing."

"I wanted him to know how much pain that caused me and the other people in my state."

"It was a terrible thing to do, and I wanted him to know how I felt about it—how devastating it was to see."
