I mean like even if someone is for example criminal or scumbag they are still human and hoping for someone to die or make jokes of someone's loss of life isn't right. Or does someone think it is justified? I think it's morally wrong.

Most of what I have seen on the meme communities I follow have been par-and-course with what I expected to see on internet. Although I agree that it is morally wrong to joke with malintent when someone passes, I think humor is a normal response to tragedy. As long as the memes aren't egregious about it, then they still get a chuckle out of me and help me feel better about the situation.

Did these folks make fun of Kobe Bryant and his daughter?

No? Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't understand what this has to do with the question I asked. Do you mind to elaborate? I'm serious and I'm not trying to act like dickhead, so sorry if I have offended someone.

Yeah I know that, but I don't get it how this is related to some people making fun of couple billionaires losing their lives in pretty horrible way. And again sorry if I offend someone

He was just making a reference about people laughing at dead people. Simple as that.

It's not something I would ever do. I guess I'm superstitious but taking death lightly makes me feel like I'd have to pay for that later...

I can relate to you.
