Re Marking Tragedy (Letters, July 6): As the revelations continue and more graves are discovered, I think the sins of the church are hard to ignore.

I once considered it my north star of moral high ground. Now I am left bereft.

We are at the breathless hype and propaganda stage of this media campaign. Everybody loves the emotion of joining the mob.

We won’t see facts, nuance and the truth for many months.

[Little Ray]

Drive through ‘em.
Doesn’t matter what their gripe is, they don’t get to stop the trains.

Indigenous tribes had a high mortality rate both before and after white man came. Finding a bunch of unmarked graves shouldn't be alarming.

The Little Ice Age (the recent centuries of global cooling before the Current Warm Period) caused many to die from starvation and disease across much of the planet, especially people still literally living in the stone age.

Trudeau finally got his version of BLM moving

If only there were laws against such acts!

[Mouton]

Full speed ahead. Rename the cattle catcher the mob crusher.

Uh, ok, so how are they blocking the rails? It never says.

Not “mass graves”. They are individual graves, whose wooden crosses deteriorated over time. They were in a recognized cemetery area.

“Plane crashes in cemetery. Hundreds of bodies discovered.”

[Steven Tyler]

This always ends well.

You poke the eyes of complete strangers cause some long dead dude did something to someones belonging to your race.
All approved and driven by the gubmint of the era.

Meanwhile, fresh new horrors committed at the US/Mexico border under the approval and direction of the Bidan crew

They’ve not been identified yet, in regards the graves.

As the revelations continue and more graves are discovered, I think the sins of the church are hard to ignore.

So far, what we've discovered is that the church buried the dead. That used to be consider a "corporal work of mercy," not a sin.

Anglo-American jurisprudence generally follows the principle of "innocent until proven guilty". No "sins" have been proven in these cases so far.
