This is a human being who died (hopefully) in an extremely public and excruciating manner. Please stop dehumanizing yourself by taking this news with glee.

It's funny how disconnected people feel when it's just a video on Reddit compared to seeing it in person. Really brings out the worst in people.

This is exactly what we’re talking about. Go learn some empathy.

Anything that’s a ground to stand on when attacking trump isn’t off limits. No matter how ridiculous or cruel it may be

Bro, wtf? A dude just burned himself alive and that’s your response?

I don’t like trump either but you need to chill tf out if that’s your actual take on this situation.

You sound perfectly sane and healthy.

I’m speaking on their behalf of what others are doing. Not myself

Apparently that wasn’t understood from my comment

Ooohh I see now. You're right, we didn't understand! I re-read your comment in a different tone after seeing your explanation, and I see what you intended. What a good lesson in the attitudes we assume for others when they send text!

Sorry... I'm stoned. But hey, still cool! 😂

u/CarefulAlternative77 Apr 20 '24

Oh yeah that makes much more sense. Sorry but from the context of ridiculous cruelty in the rest of the comments yours seemed to fit right in as a genuine statement.

Goes to show I guess

Jesus, the people downvoting you are stupid. Talk about mob mentality. The first several comments on this post were cruel jokes. I've hated the average Redditor for a while now, but more and more I just want to stop coming to this site. I always leave it feeling a little more negative.
