Agree with you. First of all; this is in Orlando. If they don't want to spend their tax dollars on a memorial, then that's their call (but I haven't heard that). Second; why does it bother anyone that a "memorial" is established? It certainly would give some measure of comfort to the families and witnesses of the horrific act.
Geez folks, why are you so negative about it? |

A public memorial? I think that most of the "public" could give a hoot about it. In a few years, hardly anyone will remember it (excepting the families who had members involved). Kind of like the Coconut Grove fire in the 40's or the Station fire more than 20 years ago.
Money should be spent on things that benefit people ...... not memorials that really do nothing for anybody. |

Good idea for the gay community of Orlando to have a place they pay for if they want to remember them.. I’ve driven past the place countless times it needs to be demolished period

I agree. Build a low cost clinic or food bank, or such in their honor.

List of mass shootings in the United States (1900–1999 - Wikipedia)
Mass Shootings in the US: See 37 Years in One Chart | Time 198: Total Americans killed in mass shootings in the 50 years from 1920 to 1979 225: Total Americans killed in mass shootings in the 20 years from 1980 to 1999 715: Total Americans killed in mass shootings in the 20 years from 2000 to 2021 Hmmmmm.... It's almost like something changed in the 70's -- and then changed even worse in the '00's. What could it be? Maybe this? Deinstitutionalisation - Wikipedia Or this? Defund the police - Wikipedia Keeping lunatics in asylums and killers in jail seemed to work pretty well. Instead of raising monuments to the dead for the amusement of lunatics and killers, how about we try putting them away again? |
