After the investigations are over.
Please tell me it won't be given anything resembling a decent burial.

EDIT: correction on the details of the grave

(18,470 posts)In an unmarked grave in a secret location. But it should be a decent burial. And the family should just be given a general idea of the region of the country.
For the following reasons.
First because we should be better than Daesh or other evil people and we can show it in how we treat the shooter's body.
Second if we were to treat the body with anything other than basic human dignity it would be a powerful recruiting tool for the other side, almost as powerful as that orange dumb fuck's words are. If we show that we treat even our very worst enemies in a humane manner it denies Daesh and other evil people a powerful propaganda tool.
And finally for those of us who are religious it scores serious points with the big guy upstairs to do so. (So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. (Matt 7:12)).
