    John Filo’s photo also gained sentimental recognition from the public: “...It ran on the front page of almost every newspaper in the United States and many throughout the world.

The emotional response from a person looking at the photo can be explained by the outrageous cry of the woman kneeling over the dead body. The position of her arms is as if she is asking why did you kill this innocent man? While the identity of the man is unknown in the photo, it sparks the assumptions that it could have been her best friend or perhaps her significant other which contributes to the public feeling even more sympathetic and curiosity.…
