I understand that joking is the only thing we believe we have left, when we face so much cruelty. I don't blame you, I feel powerless to change anything and I often use the same defense mechanism. It feels good, it lets me feel I still have the ethical and intellectual superiority.
But I tend to think that this kind of news should be treated with more gravitas, due to the respect we should have for an absolutely innocent victim and their family, who must know one of the worst trauma that can be inflicted to a person.
I wish we could turn that into a more constructive anger.
I supremely hate harm made to children, it makes me despair of humanity. I hate the people who did this and I hope this nightmare will end soon. I hope the little things we do daily will help improve the situation, though I'm not naive. What a shit world.
We need a reliable and secure method for organization, targeting, and action. Police can't even handle small scale flash mobs of teenagers.
One consisting of armed, masked patriots whose appearance would be indiscernible from ICE, that could quickly gather, act, and disperse would be a nightmare for police.

Very poignant comment, actually. I feel the same way when there's children involved. We should try to focus on the tragedy rather than make jokes.

Maybe less people would be joking if the article didn't handle it in the most detached and sterile way possible.

I don't think it's fair to blame the article. We should be calling the article out (like you did) instead of doing the same thing it's doing.
