Is it just me, or are the week and a half of funeral services and processions through multiple cities a bit much? Is it just because of the current BLM environment right now?

His death is a loss, of course, but I've never seen this kind on thing for anyone else. I hear Dems saying he was a shining light and a blessed man - maybe he was, but in the ten years or so I've been aware of him, I never saw it. He just seemed to act like the same partisan, complaining politician as everyone else in his party. I never saw him rise above anything, or try to draw people together like MLK did. I guess that must have happened decades ago, before he became ensconced in Washington DC.

It will be interesting to see how the media treats the death of Herman Cain, compared to John Lewis.
