I am like, really? It was just someone would chime in, even if you just said "wow, sad to hear she died" with these long winded rants about how we pay more attention to her than those victims.
I find this behavior sickening.

And it is sickening. Heaven forbid we have strong emotional attachment to people who have touched our souls. To even remotely suggest that we don't recognize the tragedy of several other people we aren't mourning out of personal affection is just ridiculous. Yes, we get it. Are we as affected, personally? Not exactly, but
we do get it.
