"Round up the usual suspects."

There are many favourite lines in Casablanca, a recurring line that's a lot of fun is "Round up the usual suspects."

Regarding Newtown, the media and blogosphere are going to Town!

• Blame the NRA
• Blame competitiveness
• Blame Obama
• Blame Republicans

Etc.

How about some others?

Since -
• Lanza's Mom supplied the guns, so condemn Motherhood
• The victims were all in schools, let's close the schools
• Lanza was mentally disturbed, so let's lock up all of the Mentally disturbed in Hospitals

Etc.

How about our Beloved Aharon Hacohein when he lost his 2 eldest sons - what was his d'rashah?

Silence

Maybe this is the origin of the moment of silence?

יקרא פרק י

א וַיִּקְחוּ בְנֵי-אַהֲרֹן נָדָב וַאֲבִיהוּא אִישׁ מַחְתָּתוֹ, וַיִּתְּנוּ בָהֵן אֵשׁ, וַיָּשִׂימוּ עָלֶיהָ, קְטֹרֶת; וַיַּקְרִיבוּ לִפְנֵי ה, אֵשׁ זָרָה--אֲשֶׁר לֹא צִוָּה, אֹתָם.  ב וַתֵּצֵא אֵשׁ מִלִּפְנֵי ה, וַתֹּאכַל אוֹתָם; וַיָּמֻתוּ, לִפְנֵי ה.  ג ....וַיִּדֹּם, אַהֲרֹן.
