100%, they shouldn't of been there in the first place...I must be different. I keep my mourning to myself.
I don’t go around saying how bad I feel and I don’t need sympathy from people when they do not have any idea how I feel.
This idea of traveling around like a celebrity because their children got murdered kind of gets to me.
I feel for them, but they are being exploited.
100%, they shouldn't of been there in the first place...I share your sentiment and I just find it odd that they were at the event. I lost 2 pets in November and I know it is different than children but I am still grieving for my pets and I don’t think that I would have strength to go to a marathon if it was my children but everyone is different I guess.
It seems as though “celebrity” is something to be grabbed at any cost. The 9/11 liberals and Muslim apologist crew was typical. Fame outweighs decency by far. A mother’s grief at her son’s death in Iraq is a lynch pin for Code Pink and the anti Bush frenzy. It’s nothing new but it has value for the left.
Reminds me of the 'Jersey Girls'.
I’m glad to hear someone else feels this way.
I’m not a Neal Boortz fan, but he was right when he talked about the wussification of America. It’s all the rage now to wallow in your grief as publicly as possible. And people love to participate with endless candlelight vigils and marches and whatever else.
I don’t know, maybe I’m becoming hard and cynical...I hope not. I don’t mean to detract from any person’s tragic loss, and I do feel sympathy. But the in-your-face public garment-rending gets old.
