Oh, Hell, No

There was a memorial service here last Friday for the victims of April 3's massacre. Prayers were said, and tulips were planted at a local park in memory of the victims.

14 tulips.

There's only one problem. 14 people died on April 3, but only 13 were victims. The 14th was the gunman.

I'm sorry, Mr. Rat Bastard Cowardly Gunman, but you don't get a tulip, you fucker.

Local clergy are defending the 14 tulips. "We believe in forgiveness", said the Rev. Willfred Guillaume. "He's a victim, too."

No. No, he's not.

There was a similar issue about Gang Lu, the guy who killed all the physics faculty and students at UIowa and then killed himself. We never came to a satisfactory resolution about it either.
