Lovely. Glad to see the media is the media everywhere. >_<

I understand now; if they were asking most everyone, then it makes   
sense.

(I'm not even sure why it'd be some sort of story if the people  
offering flowers and prayers were family or not; I know about vigils  
and memorials over in the US; many of the people that go to such  
places aren't family, but people who are connected with the area,  
neighbors, etc., so it's not that unusual for unrelated people to do  
so).
