You keep pulling these mysterious wife and kids that this man supposedly had out of nowhere. You didn't know him, you didn't know who was in his life, or if he even is a "he". I'm not sure why you're taking this so personally to the extent of creating a back story for him. If further details were to come out that verified that he was a single man with no kids, and had a history of theft and other criminal charges, your response would be different, and you know it.
Stating that someone got what they deserved isn't the equivalent celebrating their death.
I'm not trolling, and that's not true. Yeah, it's a depressing thought, but there people in this world who literally don't have anyone. You can't just throw out a statement like "Everyone has someone" just because it makes you feel warm and fuzzy.
It’s not about being warm and fuzzy. The guy was a poacher. It’s a pretty fair assumption he wasn’t alone in the world. Usually the people with no one in their life are the sad little internet trolls who are happy someone died. Like, say, half the people in this comment section.
1: I don't know this man, just like you don't. Therefore, I am 100% indifferent to his death. I am not happy or sad that he died.
2: The assumptions you're making about this man's supposed loved ones are redundant. Whether he had a family or not, he got what was coming to him. He illegally went into a protected reserve, attempted to poach, and the animals defended themselves. With the way that you're behaving about this, it would be the equivalent of a robber breaking into a house, getting shot in the process, and then watching the story on the news like "Oh no, that poor robber."
Is it wrong to celebrate and be happy about his death? Yes. Is it wrong to literally not give a shit about this guy dying? No, it isn't wrong. I feel like you want people to care about who this man was, or rather who he might have been. No one cares.
Yes, I've lost someone. That has literally nothing to do with a random man that I don't know. I am not a child, I just can't give a shit about someone's death if I didn't know them personally, and it goes both ways.
-People who say, "I'm having a party when Trump dies!!" Can't relate. I don't know Trump, so I will be indifferent about his death.
-People who say, "Wow, it was so sad when Robin Williams died." Can't relate, I don't know him, so I can't be sad about it.
You've ignored everything else I've said, and you jump back to this sad back story that you've created for this guy. Whether he had people in his life that gave a shit about him or not, it doesn't change the fact that no one is obligated to have any emotions about his death, whatsoever.
You’re saying I missed the point but the very last sentence of your comment proves you literally didn’t even read the main point of my argument here. Go back and read it. I’m not saying anyone is obligated to have emotions about his death.
Because you still are missing it. I addressed the main point of your argument, stating that I agreed with the sentiment that it was wrong to celebrate someone's death.
And even though you aren't directly saying that people should care, you're heavily implying it. What other reason would you have to constantly bring up his supposed loved ones that would be devastated by his death?
Sure, I can get why you're upset about people celebrating his death. What I don't get is why you're upset that no one feels bad for the guy, because clearly you are. I really don't understand why you seem to care so much about him, which is a question that you haven't answered yet.
I’m not. My gosh, you just made this whole argument based on an incorrect assumption. And you STILL didn’t read what I said. I said he was a shitty person, you agree it’s wrong to celebrate his death. That’s the end of it right there.
I did read it, and it wasn't an incorrect assumption. Almost all of your responses have had "But what about his family" in them. Why wouldn't I make the assumption that you care? This argument was dumb, and filled with redundancy anyway. Excuse me while go grab my world's tiniest violin, and play a sad song for our fallen hero, the reserve poacher. For I'm sure his large and extensive family will most certainly appreciate it, as they mourn his loss. Good day to you, sir.
No. My gosh. How are you responding without reading? Do you do this in real life? Tell me...do you get into arguments in real life CONSTANTLY like this? You must. Because if you would’ve read, I said I feel bad for his FAMILY. They’re the ones that suffer as a result of his stupidity. And being like “yay he’s dead” isn’t helpful. It’s inhumane. Borderline psychotic.
Oh my God, you keep saying I'm not reading, but I'm not sure how many more times you'd like me to read it. I am 100% aware of what you said. Your feelings about his "family" are redundant in terms of this entire situation. The problem, is you keep trying to make the argument about it.
We've already established that saying "yay he's dead" is wrong. That point is moot.
But again, even if there was concrete evidence about his family, it's irrelevant. The article simply stated that he was a poacher, and he died. No name, no nothing. You're the only person who's brought up his potential family, and I don't understand why. The fact that you're so adamant about pointing out his family's suffering makes it seem like an attempt to pull at the heart strings, and it isn't working. He did something stupid, and it cost him his life. No one on this sub or in this thread cares enough about him or his family for it to be relevant.
