He has parents, or at least a father. I suppose the body would be released to his family. Do Muslims have a time "requirement" for proper burial? I don't know that.

9. So what? Do you think he is in Lenin's Tomb now? Who cares? That's the story.

If you think otherwise that's your theory.

6. Actually he probably should be given a decent burial.

In an unmarked grave in a secret location. But it should be a decent burial. And the family should just be given a general idea of the region of the country.

For the following reasons.

First because we should be better than Daesh or other evil people and we can show it in how we treat the shooter's body.

Second if we were to treat the body with anything other than basic human dignity it would be a powerful recruiting tool for the other side, almost as powerful as that orange dumb fuck's words are. If we show that we treat even our very worst enemies in a humane manner it denies Daesh and other evil people a powerful propaganda tool.

And finally for those of us who are religious it scores serious points with the big guy upstairs to do so. (So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. (Matt 7:12)).

12. He's dead, there's little point to caring what happens to the corpse.

Grind it up in a wood chipper and use it as fertilizer.

17. Yes, he gets a "decent" burial if the body is not claimed.

Decent defined as simple, cheap, and respectful. Usually with no ceremony. All cities have a standard procedure for this.
