Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What do you mean by blind, and what do you mean by support? I don't think anyone here is in a position to affect the outcome of this situation either way, the most we can do is decide how to feel about it. So the real question is "are we happy when corpos die" and like...yeah, usually.
This one is so-so, not very high ranking and went out in an ugly personal way unrelated to her actions. I feel the same way here as I would about, for example, a career cop who dies of an overdose and is found by his young kid. It's normal to have empathy for a person dying, especially from a cause that's horrifyingly relatable because it cuts across all classes, like addiction and intimate partner violence. At the same time, it's also correct to note an enemy down, and to extend that empathy to the many victims of the machine they were knowingly serving, whose purpose is to facilitate the visiting of profitable violence on millions of others.
