Okay
Why does anyone who wishes to mourn need to engage in:
a) Group candlelight vigils?
b) Group hug tram rides through Northcote?
...and virtue signalling in the media excludes itself by way of definition.
Why do these very public displays also display a high propensity within specific incidents and locales?
Did I miss the Brunswick Crew attending a group mourning session when Joe the wino passed away in the back lanes off Sydney Road??
I explained the reasons I went - she died on my doorstep - it made me think of the danger my own daughter is in when she runs around the park. It has nothing to do with the motives you are ascribing. How you can criticise someone for standing silently in the Park for 20 minutes has got me stuffed. There were no political statements made at the vigil itself just a series of prayers, reflections and laying of flowers. If a dero died in my street I would also go to that funeral - rituals that what God botherers do mate. There is nothing PC or intersectional about a mother’s grief
