re: #195 Dr Lizardo

Yeah. With the idea of a mass ceremony, I would think from the perspective of a small town, it might be more logical to do it that way. But as you pointed out, whether the parents or even the town itself could take that or not is a different matter, and to say it would be a media circus is quite possibly the understatement of the century.

But yes, all the funerals will likely happen just before Christmas. I’m not a parent, but I think I’d lose it if I were. This is just too damn much.

You know, I remember the Port Arthur Massacre….that was big news internationally. I also remember former PM John Howard, who was philosophically conservative, leading the way to ban semi-auto firearms. Can you even imagine the wingnut reaction here if a conservative leader did that?

Won’t ever happen, because “conservative” politicians are either in league with the RWNJs or are scared of getting primaried by them.
