I guess we had no value during life when we waited on the roof and we waited for food and water. And I guess there's just no closure in death for many of our family members and for many of our families.

We need to take a look at the state laws. We need to take a look at the speedy trials of violent offenders. If you use a weapon, the laws ought to be stricter, stronger enforcement.

At least the money that has been allocated for DNA testing could identify our loved ones and our families.
