Once rigor mortis sets in they are easier to wave around.

At Tue Jul 24, 2012, 11:48 AM an alert was sent on the following post:
Give the bodies a chance to cool
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=1011588
REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)
"Give the bodies a chance to cool before using them around for your cause." Is it OK for DU'ers to accuse others of waving the bloody shirt? This smacks me of RW talking points, if not outright trollery.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Jul 24, 2012, 11:59 AM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Sorry, I don't think it rises to the level of hide status. I think the OP invites these types of responses when posting about guns for the umpteenth time.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: This was the hardest post I've ever had to adjudicate. We hairless monkeys use gallows humor to get through horrifying situations. Some start a little too early and I decided this was too early. But if I read this right, it was meant to be gallows humor and as a fellow gallowrian, I feel torn in choosing to hide this post. But it didn't forward the conversation. I'm not sure the poster is guilty of anything but starting the humor too early, a mistake made by many during uncountable horrifying tragedies. tavalon
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: If you are actually waving the bloody shirt, you should not be surprised when you are called on it.
