As you may have read on your flist some guy was randomly stabbed and beheaded while travelling on a Greyhound bus. It's shocking, horrible, tragic and many other strong words

I lost two immediate family members to sudden and violent death. I, blissfully, can not remember anyone ever making such asinine and inane statements. Talk about rudely dismissing someone's grief. Really, best to just say 'I'm sorry' and leave it at that, than out yourself as a totally insensitive jerk.

*strongly agrees*

I know this isn't remotely the same, but when my friend Tim died people left these ridiculous wall-posts to him all over the place - "I miss you, it's not the same without you, etc etc." It frustrated me so much because I felt like... if you were really grieving, you wouldn't need to do it in such a bizarre public forum. AND, I'm sorry, but if you draw comfort from the idea that wherever Tim is now he might be CHECKING HIS FACEBOOK... you need a little fresh air.

Anyway, I feel like this is similar, albeit on a much grander scale. People trying to connect themselves to a tragedy for some strange reason or another.

It is rather similar and equally frustrating, I do agree.

that is so wrong, in so many ways, I actually hope his family dont see that

[certainthings]

I read that on the net this morning. So fucking weird, especially since there was no motive/reason.

I totally agree with you A) use full words!! B) What if his better place was here on frickin earth!? Dude should have just stuck with "You'll be in my thoughts during this difficult time"

YAY ICONS!! :D
