I thought it strange, too, the crowd acting how it did at first (the applause) and you could tell the first speakers did, too. But apparently that's the way the 14,000 attendees wanted to act. The speakers have no control over how the crowd acts. All the speakers were respectful, remembering, and non-political. That's obvious to anybody that watched it.

I have no problem with the tee shirts, as no, it wasn't a funeral event, it was a community coming together in tragedy, being supportive. I recall the same thing (tee shirts) happened here right after the airplane crash, within days. Shows community support for the relatives, etc.
