Why does the news media feel that they need to invade the privacy of people at these times?

It is hard to imagine what he has had to endure. God I want to kick Cruzā€™s ass.

Because we were willing to click on a link to view pictures.

Very sad indeed. Joe was so close to his children and to think he lost his wife and daughter to an auto accident and almost lost Beau then. I am almost glad I donā€™t have any children - I know how difficult it was for me to lose my pets over the years so I canā€™t imagine what he must be like to lose a child

The family that is not influenced by special interest. Simple with integrity and honest life. I wish voters will have a second look of the Vice Presidentā€™s true intentions for this country. Letā€™s give him a chance to lead and be President of this great nation.

It was a public memorial for a public family. If the Bidens hadnā€™t wanted the press there, it would have been a private affair. Iā€™m glad that the photos are available, so that others can feel the emotions that humans have together during the loss of a loved one. The Bush administration hid the caskets of the fallen soldiers from public view. This openness to public grieving reflects the inclusiveness of the current administration and the love and humanity of the Biden family.

I adore Joe Biden, absolutely love the man. I keep thinking about how he always called his kids ā€œhoneyā€, how heā€™s never, ever afraid to be vulnerable, to be Joe Biden to the fullest. To see this man, this family, in so much pain is just heartbreaking. I wish there was a way to send people love and hugs. I would certainly send them all I have.

Saturday at 10:30 a.m. the president will deliver a eulogy for Beau Biden. It probably wonā€™t be televised.

This was a ā€œpublic memorialā€, anyone who wanted to honor the late Beau Biden could have attended. An "invasion of ā€œprivacyā€ is more like helicopters intrusively hovering overhead

My grandmother lost one of her sons at 13 to cancer in times when there was no treatment but to amputate the leg but it still returned. My mother told me that her mother was never the same again. She just did what she had to do to survive on a daily basis, all to the detriment of the rest of the children and her husband.
