1) I've seen the picture, it's where I got the joke from.
2)People die every day, it's a fact of life.
The fact that those people up in Aurora were shot by a man, portraying himself as the Joker and quoting lines from the previous Batman movie is, quite frankly, hilarious. Months from now, people will be making jokes about this "incident" and laughing their butts off. Just because people are making those jokes now doesn't make them horrible or insensitive, it just means that we don't care about them. Do you cry for the people dying the Middle East due to military artillery strikes? I'm not talking about soldiers and my fellow shipmates, or even the terrorists. I'm talking about the innocent people who simply get caught in the crossfire. Do you cry for the young women from Asia who are kidnapped from their homes and brought to the US for the sex trade? No, I pretty sure you don't, those people probably don't even pass through your thoughts except when you see some random article about them in the news or a magazine. But the moment that anything happens here in the US, oh, THAT's when the the jokes start going too far.
Well excuse me for having a sense of humor, when the comedians start making acts about how funny these types of attacks are (and there already are a few that do, look up Joe Rogan) maybe you should tell them that they're horrible people and should grow a heart, because I'm not gonna grow one anytime soon.

There's such a thing as having some god damn decency. It isn't the fact that a bunch of people died, but the manner of their death.
Thank you for proving to be such a waste of human life. I tried to play nice, but you have to act like such a little p***k.
I hope you die soon.

Oh, so it's hilarious that a six year old girl was brutally murdered while enjoying a movie night with her family? It's hilarious that a young man was murdered trying to protect his girlfriend? Yes, everyone will die someday, but it should be in a peaceful and natural manner, aftera long and full life. A life that twelve people will now never have.
And no, I do not cry for the soldiers- of all nationalities -who fight and die for what they believe in. I do not cry for the innocents caught up in those soldier's gunfire, and the victims of the sex trade, and the children who raped and abused by people they should be able to trust. I do something that is so, so much better: I help them. In any way I cann, I help them. Tears do nothing. Insults and insensitive jokes do worse than nothing. It takes belief, it takes kindness, it takes- dare I say it? -a heart. Even if, as one person, I can't do much more than smile and offer a shoulder to cry on, it is much more than you are doing. Just because you are not the only one making this joke does not mean you are in the right, it just means that more people need to have some compassion. We can tear each other down, or we can build each other up.

Boris_Badenov Miss Emni Rose ...Insults and insensitive jokes do worse than nothing. It takes belief, it takes kindness, it takes- dare I say it? -a heart.... Not necessarily. There are people who joke about it because it's their way of coping to what happened, even though they may be worried or scared. Maybe not the insults part, but the joking, yes.
I agree with Boris. What happened was terrible, but humor is a sometimes vital coping mechanism. Lord knows I wouldn't be able to go on if I didn't have that, even in the worst of times.
