"Don't shoot the messenger"
It has been recognized since the time of ancient Greece that people have a tendency to react badly to a person who delivers bad news, especially when the person who actually caused the unwanted event is not accessible or when the calamity is a natural occurrence.
While "shooting the messenger" is an automatic response, it causes needless suffering, arguments, and broken relationships.

I could not find a precedent to Medgar Evers' quote, "You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea."
Centuries ago, during the Middle Ages, when a messenger would be sent to deliver a message to the king or queen, they would be killed if the king or queen did not like the message, usually by beheading. Hence the phrase, "Don't kill the messenger".
It means that you should not get mad at the person giving the message.

The quote "Thank you for children Arthur" is not in the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. This particular quote does not appear in the novel.
