I'm going to elaborate but am not all that comfortable doing so - yet, if I want to clarify my earlier point - I'm going to have to.

On one of the various phone/internet however they all commuicate - the reason my daughter is emotionally involved is one of her close connections was actually at the event. It will have a life-long impact for those physically there, regardless if the reason for attending the event was in agreement with Charlie or there to debate. See?

Do you remember a long time ago some of the discussions at Fubie's and Zen's were that some of the awful things posted would not be said to a person's face - the nasty comments were made from the safety behind a computer screen?

So the point is - the physical witness to something so horrific will have an impact that probably won't be the desired effect that was anticipated by any perpetrators.

Even you mentioning that Taylor Swift has come out for Charlie is a barometer to the validity of my point.

It wasn't a video game. It was real. And those close to the ones who experienced it in person is also going to seep through. We have a mental health crisis in the country on multiple levels - my opinion.
