Whose idea was it to make this a national memorial? Why are people designating sites of mass murders as such? This and other such crimes are terrible, sure, but national memorials???
We're talking about national memorials that include sites such as the National D-Day memorial as well as influential persons such as Benjamin Franklin.
Days before the fifth anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting, U.S. Senators passed a bill designating the site of the former nightclub as a national memorial.
The legislation passed unanimously Wednesday afternoon after its sponsor, Sen. Rick Scott, asked that it and its companion bills be approved by unanimous consent in observance of the five years since the mass shooting. H.R. 49, the U.S. House’s version of the bill, and Senate Resolution 265, both honoring the victims of the shooting, also passed the Senate unanimously. H.R. 49 passed the U.S. House May 12.

Do you think making the Oklahoma City mass bombing site a national memorial was wrong, even though many more people got killed?
