Funds raiser’s are like foundations. Somebody’s going to get rich or somebody going to stay rich. The millions raise to first fund the Pulse memorial should be confiscated and used what it was intended for, not make few rich.

Many are not sure that public funds should be used... for this, for Oklahoma City, or for WTC. But that was not the point of the posts. The point was that funds, both public and private, were used and salaries paid with no museum and no memorial.

"Very clear"...............selecting words, cut & paste.........you totally missed the point and no one is buying it. Let me help you: Millions collected, Millions went out in compensation to officers for part-time work, now they decide not to do the memorial. People who contributed (directly or indirectly) should be screaming.

Personally, I find all the groveling and whining disgusting. Every time I pick up the mail, the flag at the post office seems continuously at half-mast. Why has my country become such a nation sissies and whiners? Instead of creating monuments of teddy bears for the enjoyment of the lunatic killers -- monuments that nobody visits but everyone is forced to pay for -- I have a better idea.
Just once, I'd like to see my nation man-up and do something about all the lunatic killers we allow to run loose, beyond blaming every law abiding American who owns a gun safe. We didn't seem to have this problem when I was a kid and we kept the lunatics in asylums and the killers in jail. How about we try that again? |

Interesting. Since the public money that went to something like that came from the tourism dollars collected from hotels, BECAUSE you moved out of Orlando you are more likely to have contributed to it.

Two years later, my wife and I were walking along Omaha Beach in Normandy. All of a sudden, I was overcome with great emotion and started to weep. My wife asked what was going on. Through tears I exclaimed, "this is the place where American martyrs died." We then proceeded to the American Cemetery where I placed a stone on as many crosses and stars as I could. My tradition is that placing a stone on a head or foot stone, let's the world know that someone visited this grave. |

They're not tragedies. It wasn't an unfortunate accident. It was an atrocious, hideous, hateful, intentional act of violence. And it keeps happening. Everyone who was affected directly by one of these incidents, lives with the risk of a new incident triggering the emotional turmoil they experienced the first time around. So maybe if we could come up with solutions for a) stopping these incidents OR b) reducing the risk of them happening, then maybe there'd be fewer of them, and no one would have to relive anything at all. We'll keep bringing it up, until we stop it from happening again. |

The criminals around here tend to be repeat offenders. And our system continues to let them roam free, to add more crimes to their long list. |

If there is an amount of cash that will ensure the accused comes back to his trial, set that amount as bail. If there are conditions that will ensure the accused does not commit more crimes while awaiting trial, set those conditions as bail. If there is good reason to believe the accused will flee or will commit more crimes then deny bail and keep him in jail. The concept of bail should be used as intended, not as a shortcut to keeping the accused in jail.
