I know what you mean about the perpetrators being idolized almost... sad. The vigil was nice, but not what I expected. It was more legislative. The actual memory and candlelight segment was right at the end. They did have our attorney general there to speak and quite a few legislators and county prosecutors (though ours was not there!) Awards were presented and so forth - I left thinking it was very nice, but I wish it had been more geared toward the victims...
