kimo,

You're familiar with the phrase, "Just because you can - doesn't mean you should."?

Would you applaud someone who, say, attended the funeral of an honorably retired police officer with the intent to protest police brutality?  What if this person chose to peacefully display a big lurid protest sign during the funeral service?  Would you be okay with that?  This is not a purely hypothetical thought experiment.  There have indeed been cases of protesters exercising freedom of speech by taking their message to funerals.

You of couse disagree, but to mind, what allie posted, in principle, differs only in degree, not in kind.

If such has to be posted, what is the objection to posting it with those Star-Advertiser stories more concerned with what went wrong?  Why go out of one's way to taint an aspect of this tragedy that only displays the best of human nature?  These men proved not to be craven cowards.  Celebrate this for what it is.
