Several years ago my uncle, a vet who retired from the Air Force in 1975 as a Master Sgt., died at the age of 73 from cancer. His body was cremated. A memorial service was held for him a few days later. His son was first up to eulogize him, and one of the first things he mentioned was his dad's love at watching cartoons of the Road Runner with his kids on Saturday mornings. He made a funny comment about it and the crowd laughed with him. Then one of his childhood friends went to the podium and told a few stories from their childhood, and again everyone smiled and laughed. <br /><br />Equivalent of cheering at a "pep rally"? No, but not the serious stuff you expected from the memorial from the other day. It's quite hilarious reading about all of the criticism from those who weren't even at the memorial. If anyone has a right and a need to complain about the way things were handled, it's the people who, you know, actually attended the event...especially the victims and the families of the victims. They are the ones who deserve to be offended...not some fool halfway across the country. <br /><br />It is quite evident to anyone with a brain that the attendees were cheering at the good and positive things that were said by the president and others; it wasn't because they were cheering for their sports team to beat a rival team. And those idiots at Fox and Friends who were making fun of the blessings for the entrances...please, someone give them a lesson in humility. God forbid that they consider the context in which the entrances were blessed. Are they really that stupid, or are they grasping at anything they can get their hands on just to simply criticize something?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-76231710142281844062011-01-16T23:23:37.303-05:002011-01-16T23:23:37.303-05:00anonymous: did the audience know they were closed ...anonymous: <i>did the audience know they were closed caption signs or did they think they were cue signs?</i><br /><br />Presumably, anyone who was actually reading the captions would realize what was going on.

There were no cheers of "ding dong the judge is dead" or anything like that.<br /><br />Again: it was applause at recognition of the surivivors and those that subdued the suspect. Cheers at encouraging news on the recovery of Rep. Giffords. Applause and cheers at the mention of a prominent alumnus of the University.

Obama chose to attend, as did many other politicians.<br />"As has been also noted, we're taling of louts who confuse frathouse keggers with funerals."<br /><br />Again, it wasn't a funeral. It was a memorial service to honor and recognize both the victims, survivors, and others, as well as to begin the process of healing for the community.<br /><br />Choosing a smaller venue would have meant 20,000+ of Tuscon/Arizona residents that attended would have been denied that opportunity.<br /><br />It's pretty galling that some anonymous internet commenter is going to tell Tuscon residents that were actually affected by this attack the proper way to mourn and honor their fellow citizens.
