In the hearts of many who have been touched by senseless violence, it is unthinkable to see convicted individuals gain unwarranted notoriety and undue attention. Mackenzie Shirilla was convicted in August 2023 on four counts of murder after a catastrophic and intentional crash into a brick building. The tragedy led to the irreversible loss of Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan, who were savagely silenced and stripped of their futures. These victims, now voiceless, should not be overshadowed by campaigns that seek to glorify the offender.

The social media giant, Meta Platforms, Inc., is unwittingly allowing pages, groups, and accounts to exist which wrongfully advocate for the release of Mackenzie Shirilla. These pages not only attempt to undermine justice but also inflict further pain on the families of the victims who are forced to trudge through their grief while seeing the person responsible being championed online.

Mackenzie Shirilla’s actions have been adjudicated by the justice system, and allowing spaces that champion her cause sends an unsettling message that such acts can find sympathy and support. Platforms like Meta have the power and, indeed, the responsibility, to ensure their technology is not used to cause further harm or glorify such tragic actions.

By signing this petition, you join us in urging Meta Platforms to act decisively. We demand that they immediately and permanently remove all content related to the campaign to "Free Mackenzie Shirilla" from their platforms. No one convicted of such a grievous act should have a public stage to garner attention or admiration.

We owe it to Dominic Russo, Davion Flanagan, and countless other victims of violent crime to preserve the dignity and memory of their lives, untainted by misplaced sympathy towards those who brought about their untimely deaths. Stand with us in seeking a digital landscape that respects justice and those it serves. Sign the petition now and advocate for the protection of the victims' legacies over the notoriety of their wrongdoers.
