Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 2922690, member: 285"] It doesn’t feel right to me asking 35k+ people who have no idea who Jiminez was to memorialize his passing. Maybe he wasn’t such a great guy, does anyone really know anything other than he was the victim of an unfortunate accident on Wednesday night. Was the accident and his death tragic? Absolutely. But generally when you do this the people memorializing have some connection, even if by proxy, to the memorialized. Or there is someone present that you are extending condolences to in having the moment of silence. I’m not living locally so maybe the vibe is different locally, but the idea just doesn’t feel right to me. A group hug/ovation for JB would be more appropriate as that is who the people in attendance have a connection to, but I don’t think that’s really the right thing either. I imagine it’s going to be kind of uncomfortable. [/QUOTE]
