@andreas_heitmann @arstechnica I generally try to avoid negativity, but please permit me to say "fuck you for thinking children suffering is justice."

@majick @andreas_heitmann @arstechnica Respectfully. Trying to take the nonexistent moral high road instead of being realistic about the reality these parents created for their children is fake virtue signaling. Give it a break. Be for fucking real.

@ErickaSimone @andreas_heitmann @arstechnica Exactly, thank you! On the actual ground of reality these parents FA, and the children FO. There's nothing "Good..." about that.

@majick @andreas_heitmann @arstechnica yeah we’re not for harm to children but like… fuck their parents for doing that to them.

@ErickaSimone @andreas_heitmann @arstechnica Also, in case it was not obvious to you—I often have trouble following the threading here–my disdain was for some jackhole going "Good...", as though a news article featuring the death of children was something to celebrate. Rather than any point you were making.

That maybe, just maybe, a community will also learn a teeny bit from the secondary effect FO from their FA, it's really the FO that these kids got which makes going all "hah, good" about it nothing more than political schadenfreude. I mean, the story here is that a bunch of parents murdered their children. Some German dude getting all mastogerman about it is just laughing at the murder of innocents.
