   Ew! Temper, temper, junior! LOL!   
   Let's break it down:   
   I've lost all my close family members, but not from   
   acts of violence. The usual "natural deaths" most of   
   humanity has to endure.   
   I know very well what it's like to grieve. I'm sure   
   everyone knows or will know.   
   The point of contention is that if Erika finds criticisms   
   of her style of grieving disagreeable or even vicious and   
   cold-hearted, the solution would be to grieve outside the   
   various types of mass media.   
   Avoid the frighteningly deep ideological polarization and   
   all its nastiness by grieving among family and friends -   
   not among millions. And since she's making the rounds   
   quite often ever since her husband was murdered, doing   
   interviews and making speeches, it's a given in this awful   
   political rancor (with two assassination attempts on DJT   
   and a bevy of death threats on both parties politicians),   
   I would think the safest, sanest and most gratifying relief   
   for a lost loved one's family survivor would primarily be   
   found in private among family and friends.   
   Not make it an ongoing endless road show as Erika has sadly   
   done.   
   I'd wager that Erika is angling for more than a release of   
   anger and sorrow, but attempting to use Charlie's murder to   
   garner support for her own agenda - which appears to be   
   a celebrity status equal to her spouse's.   
   That is the image that is creating criticism from the Left.   
   Capitalizing on a personal tragedy, and in a most dramatic   
   style.   
   I have no problem with her style as I do with her   
   seeming attempt to gain celebrity status on, one might say,   
   the grave of her spouse.   
   It's not like this social phenomenon hasn't happened before,   
   where a celebrity's tragic death has spurred a close family   
   member to exploit his or her popularity for personal gain.   
   It's the insanity of our sinking times, junior - a wildly   
   polarized nation going down hard with fanatics at its helm,   
   and fanatics reacting to them down below to the street level.   
   A recipe for civilizational denouement if not tempered. A   
   most dangerous era where passions are peaking and the fallout   
   is foreboding.
