Last Demo: Why Cheers At Memorial?

RE: University of Arizona event was part memorial service, part pep rally, jarred some /ABC News

Last Demo In Idaho: A great memorial. One of our President’s best ever. His tone and message were right-on. However, the mood was somewhat sullied by the constant applause, whistles, and hoots by the crowd. I assumed this was a memorial for the fallen and injured, not a political rally. I guess some people just don’t know when to sit quietly and absorb the moment and message. Maybe the noise was a reflection of a large number of college-aged participants who just got too excited and caught up in the events. Am I the only one who wished for more silence or quiet applause?

Question: Where you also jarred when people cheered during the memorial service for the shooting victims, killed & wounded, in the assassination attempt on Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords?
