I saw some of the people gathered at the memorial yesterday around 4:30. Now fortunately, I have never been part of a memorial for a death like that, so I am not really sure what it's suppose to be like. But this one had a weird atmosphere around it. There were some people pouring beer on the sidewalk, some where putting down flowers and having a moment to their selves, but most where just hanging out, laughing and joking around. I thought it would have been a more somber occasion. Not a bunch of people drinking on the sidewalk, but to each their own.

Then I woke up this morning and saw that they had assaulted some women meeting a vague description of the alleged, and I lost even more sympathy for them. The more details that are arising are not painting the original picture, and are putting things in a darker light.
