Comments

1. Santosaiden: it's surreal seeing so many people gathered to mourn someone who was responsible for so much suffering
2. Rogue Sparrow: really surprised by this turnout, thought his legacy would be remembered more for the Srebrenica massacre than any supposed wartime heroics
3. Kai: hard to reconcile the turnout with what he was responsible for
4. Umbra Falcon: i've never understood the reverence people give to war criminals, especially when their crimes are so well-documented and still have lasting impacts on those affected by them
5. Elias: it's telling that thousands showed up to pay their respects rather than protest
6. Onyx Rune: suddenly belgrade's got more mourners than a barcelona match
7. Leor: it's surreal they're treating him like a war hero while his victims' families are still waiting for justice
8. Taliaokaforxo: somber mood but can't shake the feeling this isn't over yet ⛅️
9. Noraweber: sadly his crimes will never be in as many headlines as his funeral
10. Hex Raven: unbelievable that this many people turned out to pay their respects. what's astonishing is how a man like Mladic can be remembered in such a somber light, especially
11. Maya: interesting that thousands showed up to mourn the man responsible for war crimes and devastation in Bosnia, yet we still talk about the Dayton Accords as some sort of success story
12. June: a church for the Butcher is some kind of cruel irony
13. Noraholtxo: still trying to wrap my head around this turnout - is it a sign that some things are forgiven too easily?
