There are many, many corners of the internet with people actively celebrating every boat bombing. Evidence of a crime isn't necessary. Beyond just the boat bombings, we're in an era where you can see HD footage of actual people crying, begging for their lives, and being blown up by governments. Half the world loves seeing it so long as it's preceded with a disclaimer, true or not, that "these are (people who are against you in some way)".
It's a modern day Roman colosseum event. Human lives are throwaway entertainment, and the more you kill, the more your political base gets fired up and outright overjoyed. From a political standpoint, there's no longer any consequence for killing small time nobodies with no name. It's only beneficial for a politician. And this phenomenon is spreading to more and more countries.
But those same people who are celebrating these killings, the same people who are ordering killings for their political gain, will say "It's time we come together to condemn political violence" when a small guy strikes someone else. It's interesting.
