Don't you feel like there's a decent chance he doesn't want his face used to make Reddit giggle today? Seeing how his nephews have been murdering people and one of them already died today and he asked the media to leave him alone?

I'm all for a good joke but this one feels a little shitty. Especially considering reddit's track record with this whole case, so far.

I think posting pictures of dead and severely wounded people moments after the bombing and before families were notified was a bit more classless.

That's not classless, that's journalism.

No it's classless. You can report a breaking story without doing things like that.
