We are all chimpanzees of varying temperament.
The internet finds a story like this and spends a month on it.
"Good chimp killed? Good chimp killed on hike? Hiking good, hikers good. Must be good victim chimp. How can good chimp have bad thing happen?"
Then somebody finds out who the chimp is, and somebody gets a thousand bucks to write
"Good chimp not so good. Fought with other chimps. Shouted, got quiet, not share food. Not good chimp die on trail. Bad chimp wander off to die because bad. Sad but ok."
That's the natural cycle of news, it's been going on since the press was invented and it's mostly ok.
What's frustrating is the internet adding the layer of
"Bad chimp? Bad Chimp?! What kind bad chimp? Bad chimp have excuse to be bad? No? Put on list of Villain Chimps! Vvvvvvvvillllainous chimp."
Dysfunctional dude didn't do so well with his personal relationships on his way to an early grave. Ok-doke.
