    Jesus fucking Christ. I get advocating for less car reliance but cheering the deaths of people just for owning cars is beyond fucked.

      Who are cheering the death? The post had no mention of dead people.

        The comment was removed but it was there and it had a depressing number of up votes.

        It absolutely does. Fucking look at it. You can’t take the dead people out of this photo, you can’t pretend they’re not there.

          I don’t see any people in the pic other than the ones walking at the top of the frame.

          Are there dead bodies there that I’m not seeing?

      Its black humor, not cheering the deaths of people. It’s pointing out that we’ve been warning the world for years that exactly this will happen, and now it has in a way that resembles a system correcting itself. There’s no joy in hilighting this, just ironic tragedy and the laughter of the gallows.

        The comment is likely gone now but there was someone cheering in the comments.
