i was coming into this thread to make a similar comment. i understand that everyone is trying to do this to honor the victims and survivors. however, a part of me thinks that getting the kids' lives back to normal should be priority #1 , not stressing them out with continuing media attention. in addition, the more attention we bring to these events as a society, i believe, fuels more and more attacks. isn't part of what fuels these people is the attention that they know their 'cause' and name will get after the massacre and their personal death? a martyr can't be a martyr if they don't get the attention.
