I mean like even if someone is for example criminal or scumbag they are still human and hoping for someone to die or make jokes of someone's loss of life isn't right. Or does someone think it is justified? I think it's morally wrong.

Personally, I think it's all about the balance.

There are a handful of affected families and millions cracking their own jokes. No one (hopefully!) is harassing the victims' families.

Admittedly, my moral perspective is, apparently, a little skewed. I find it mind boggling that we as a culture have normalized sweatshops to make almost everything and children mining and dying to make our phones but draw the line at jokes. Just seems weird, like a plantation slave owner chiding me for saying "damn."

Yeah I think it's really sad that we are living in a world where in many places people don't have water, food or roof on top of them and die very young and we are just continuing out lives and complain about the food, when there are people who don't even get to eat. It's really sad
