To be upset at this funeral report?

“Our baby girl, our life and soul, with the biggest smile, the biggest heart - you were the kindest, sweetest, most beautiful baby girl.”

11 years old, look at the turn out for the funeral. I find it really emotional.

Sorry, what’s the issue? Besides a poor 11yr old girl being killed obviously.

I will say though, the “applause” is nothing short of bizarre and frankly, disrespectful. What on earth are they applauding?

Did you know the child, @NoMoreStupidGuys?

The writing is very flowery, like the writer wishes she was writing scripts for Hallmark movies. Is that what's upsetting you?

Terrible, terrible writing - smacks of AI that hasn't been modified - that offends me in and of itself. Which bit are you objecting to - a specific part or the fact that it was covered as a news item and you found it distressing?

That’s an embarrassingly disrespectful excuse for journalism and whoever wrote it should be thoroughly ashamed.

Very sad event but I’m not sure what is wrong with the report. It seems typical of a local newspaper. While overly flowery it seems respectful.

The writing is appalling but a lot of people now applaud as a sign of respect to the person and to show appreciation of their life. You might not agree with it but it is not a sign of disrespect.
