Interesting. > "He's probably the worst off [sic] after this incident" Is pretty clearly false, but I guess my tone was offensive?

  You got downvoted cause it's a pointless, bullshit thing to say. Yeah, the 28 people his brother murdered have it worse. That still doesn't mean we can't talk about how irresponsible reporting and a general Internet lynch mob mentality make life shittier for people. That doesn't denigrate the memory of the victims, and it doesn't invite a comparison to their fates. Edit: attribution error for shootings

You didn't downvote me, so unless somebody who did explained their reasons to you... > Yeah, the 28 people his brother murdered have it worse.

The comparisons were made in the comment I replied to, they seemed (and still seem) very wrong to me, hence the reply. As to the other topics you mentioned, I agree wholeheartedly.

      You know, I reread the comment you're responding to, and the wording does seem to support the reading you gave it. I'm sorry for jumping so readily.

        The comment was still incredibly pointless.
