Not really an idiot, they just pointed out that you only have 2 posts to your name, both on this thread, on a 5 year old account, with 9.8k karma. So you're probably just fishing for upvotes so you can sell your account, thus it's not really worth interacting with you. And yes. I'm aware I'm doing what I said wasn't worth doing.

Speaking of fitness: functional empathy. Lacking that, which you do, means you are less fit than the rest of us, as humans are a collective species.

Just thought you'd like to know that.

One kid was playing with a toy gun when the police just blasted him. Still, while it is mostly a record of dumb mistakes, that tells us very little about these people.

Really, people making dumb mistakes is not a very good metric for understanding who they were or what their overall situation was. It's a simplistic reduction of both evolutionary science and the world we actually live in.

Even if their deaths were cosmically justified, it remains perfectly possible to be sad about them. That's life. Emotional responses are independent of a victim's status under natural law or whatever it is you're suggesting.

You're free to laugh. That's well and good too, albeit probably not relatable for most people. Instead of acting superior, you should be grateful that those people think differently from you. If they didn't, you'd have nothing to laugh at but yourself.

and if it was you kid you would be a sobbing mess of alcohol and suicidality, unless you have ever dealt with adults, or kids, on the last day of their lives, fuck outta here. If you’ve never dealt with the PARENTS of those kids, double fuck outta here. Poser.

Nearly five year old account and these two posts celebrating dead children are the only comments in its history.

Since they probably delete their posts over time, for the record the user is u/EasyHeron and the comment was:

> Survival of the fittest my man. Nothing to cry about

> EDIT: Sorry, unless I misinterpreted and you were crying from laughing so hard. The Darwin Awards always gave me a good laugh
