Posted by Brutus, in this thread, speaking on the death of Rachel Corey:
I don’t care what you think of her actions or what your opinion is on Israeli politics, this is a fucking low down way to speak of someone who has just died. I cannot for the life of me work out why you feel the need to dismiss a human life like this. Did you think you were funny? What did you expect, hundreds of follow up posts saying “Congrats, Brutus, what wit, haha, stupid college girl deserved to have died”?
Fuck you, Brutus. Your flippant response wasn’t funny, wasn’t called for and was quite possibly very hurtful, considering that later in the thread, errata mentioned that he or she “knew that young woman.”
This isn’t a great rant, but I feel it doesn’t need to be. Brutus’ insensitivity speaks for itself. That was really low. I’m still shocked that someone could speak with such indifference about another human life, and phrase that indifference in such a sick way.
What is even more sickening is that other posters in that thread expressed similar feelings, though none so crudely and inhumanely as those of Brutus.
