I see there is already a "facebook page" called "RIP Drummer Lee Rigby"
with a load of people saying "RIP you brave soldier".

Does it make me an awful person to find these massive outpourings of public grief directed very personally at people they've never met to be not just odd, but actively shit?

I see the not even thinly vieled racism has already started there too.
"A guy who fights a war and returns safe, Gets back to the uk leave camp and get done over , stabbed and killed by two guy who should'nt be in the uk anyway. Those two guy should be delivered on to the ranges for target practice. RIP Lad"

And the delusional:

"Rest in peace young man. The name LEE RIGBY will be remembered forever. I hope that we can all unite in our grief and horror and find a way to rid our once great nation of these disgusting animals and bring freedom and peace to our children and grandchildren again"

And the totally sidetracked
"Don't know what to say I'm so disgusted in our country policies we are the first country to help other countries out when we are supposed to be struggling ourselves and this is how it ends up with the death of a young man who put his life on the line for another country, survived came home to be with his beautiful wife and son only to be slaughtered in his own home town. Sorry but its about time Britain looked after its own and stopped worrying about other countries because this is what happens when you let things get to soft Grow a back bone Britain times like this I'm ashamed of where i come from so angry"

There's an article somewhere
claiming that at least one of the tribute pages is a covert EDL page that's been set up to get as many likes as possible.

Apparently the number of "likes" of the official EDL page has increased form 25K to 75K since this happened.

They have EDL branded balaclavas because they are sensible people with a political point to make and nothing to hide
