Honestly, it's times like this that make me incredibly fucking sad for the future of humanity. It's bad enough that there are people dealing with a tragic and imminent situation, but to then immediately make this about yourself is absolutely loathsome.

Also, the comments on the live YouTube broadcast of 'they deserved it' or 'serves them right' or 'what now, NRA' are fucking repulsive. Seriously, I don't know how to fix this problem, but it makes me so incredibly angry to realize just how few people can empathize with the plight of others.

It makes you wonder if it is real people commenting, or bots/troll firms set up to stoke outrage

One day the humans will all leave the internet out of disgust, leaving the bots to fight their wars alone.

Little bit of both. But considering how fast the fake shooter images appeared Im leaning towards it being bots.

This is exhibit A of why I can't stand Twitter. It has negative value in so many circumstances.

People invoke such outrage as well.

I'm not sad for the future. I'm sad for the present.
