Dozens of people died in a stampede Tuesday during the funeral procession for Qassem Soleimani, the top Iranian commander killed in an American airstrike last week, emergency service officials told state media.
Soleimani's burial was postponed after as many as 50 people were killed and more than 200 others were injured during the crush in his hometown, Kerman, Iran's ISNA news agency said, quoting the chief coroner for Kerman province, Abbas Amian, according to Reuters.

Look on the bright side. If they have an equally large funeral for those folks, there could be more stampedes. They will end up wiping themselves out before our missiles do the job
They're putting the "dumb" into "Martyrdom."
Iraq's military pretty much surrendered upon our arrival.

I think it's a tradition with them. Whenever they gather in large numbers for any reason, some of them must die. Look what happens when they protest things. They get violent and end up killing their own.

sorry but didn't the Trump admin call Iran the greatest threat to America?
if they're so puny why do we keep bombing the puny and not the mighty...

I guess they say women cannot go around uncovered and without a male familial escort because they so excite the passions of other men.
I guess this seems to underscore that teaching if they cannot gather in large numbers without so losing control of their collective emotional state that they end up doing harm to each other to this extent. I can't think of anything else it would be except wildly uncontrolled emotional states.
No wonder the left is so deeply sympathetic to them - they're well on their way down that path too.
