@Lurker, I'll borrow some perspective from you, to give you some perspective now.
I hate that it's happening, but to give it some perspective: Yud Aleph Nissan and people are going to the Ohel. Can you imagine Gimmel Tammuz Nun Daled during a time like this? There'd be no talking to anybody. Let it take me with my Rebbe.
and
God forbid this would happen with one of the grand rebbis, when people are all for giving their rebbis the last respect at all costs, you wouldn't have to whom to talk.
Couple that with these sentiments on the ground,
Ask any one of them and everyone I know in BP they will innocently tell you that it is over. Everyone had it. This is what I have been hearing all day long for a few days. They just dont have access to real info. When shomrei hadas chapel says publicly theyre back to normal amount of levayas what do you expect?!?!
And exactly that happened today in Williamsburg.
Don't think this is justification, but giving perspective is key to understand the incomprehensible. Hope this helps.
