But the Pharisees had him pierced. It was all of us. Given the context of the Zechariah verses, I would assume it is the remnant of Jews that come and mourn.

Indeed. Actually, preterism has a bit of a consistancy problem here. On the one hand, it presupposes that Abraham received the Land that YHVH had promised him (directly) only through his children (indirectly, by "the immortality of procreation"), but seems to find it impossible that the Bible would let the Israel who put the Messiah to death via the Romans should likewise witness His Parousia through their children.

Futurism, on the other hand, can understand it either way: Either Abraham receives the Land through his children and Israel likewise "looks on Me whom they have pierced" through their children, or both see the promise fulfilled directly, via Resurrection.
