Iran: 35 dead, 50 injured at Soleimani's funeral
[Arutz 7] - Dozens of mourners were killed and dozens more injured as stampedes broke out during the funeral of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani on Tuesday.

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians gathered in Soleimani’s hometown of Kerman in southeastern Iran Tuesday for the burial of the slain commander of the Revolutionary Guards Corps’ Quds Force, who was killed in an American drone strike last Thursday.

Local media outlets have reported at least 35 deaths in the stampedes, with another 50 injured.

#3 Wow, someone must have pointed at the sky and shouted "Drone!"

Kind of like shouting "fire" in a crowed theatre.

40 new Democrat voters were killed, they'll definitely be vote Democrat this fall.

Why use a casket for him? Could have just stuffed his blob into Pringles can.

#12 RE: the tweet in #10

I hereby retract my statement that I would prefer a President with a bit more dignity. I love this guy!

It seems very Islamic that they can't even have a funeral without making a pile of corpses.

#13 "Revolutionary Guards Corps commander Major General Hossein Salami said. The enemy killed him unjustly.”

Trump: "Unjust? I say it was righteous. Furthermore, I say you sound like a Democrat."

Salami: Hey, no sense in escalating this disagreement by name-calling.

What caused the stampede at Soleimani's funeral such that 50 or more got killed and 190 injured? Were these people killed justly or unjustly?
