Patriotism or Humanity

The city of Cambridge will not allow the body of Tamerlin Tsarnaev to be buried in Cambridge Cemetery.  The City Manager, Robert Healy, thinks it will cause " turmoil, protests and widespread media presence.”  I wonder whether Healy would feel the same way if the Westboro Baptist Church were to appear at a burial in the cemetery or if a convicted criminal were to be buried there.  His actions are what one would expect in a totalitarian or backward nation, not in the land of the free and home of the brave..
