that fine. its a free country. if you know how they feel then great. if you don't the stfu. its funny how people use situations like this to defend thier rights. you don't need to defend your rights. no one has taken them away. let it be what it is. some crazy a$$hole used this opportunity to secure this moment of fame. if that were not true, would be still be discussing it? no. are your rights taken away? no! let the families morn and let the dead be buried. am i wrong. if i am. why are we discussing it any further? its over, let it go.
Oh, I'm sorry. Are my emotions out of line with your ego?
A few problems with judging dialog and telling people to shut up:
1) everyone processes emotions differently. Some people need a candlelight vigil, others need to crack jokes and argue. Who are you to judge that? Telling everyone to conform to your emotional process is arrogance. Some things might be in bad taste (like the usual NRA statements that follow shooting tragedies), but as long as no one is spewing the language of violence and retaliation, it's none of your business.
2) you have no idea how anyone is actually feeling. For all you know, we all read the news and cried buckets. Don't tell Joe he's an a$$hole just because he's bitching about the media's interview choices.
3) telling people that they can't possibly fathom the loss of the victims' families is also arrogant. Suffering is the promise that life always keeps. No, I've never had a loved one mowed down by a maniac, but we've all lost loved ones. Everyone's been kicked in the nuts often enough to earn a seat in the ballpark of empathy. So get off your high horse and stop telling strangers that their feelings are inferior.
