What I will never understand... what I will know but never accept...
Is how these people can be so cold.
I'm sitting here, half a planet away, as far removed from the victims as it is possible to get. I will never know them. They would have never touched my life. There is no connection between us.
Yet I am crying. I hurt, because I have basic human empathy. I hurt because in my brain there is a set of mirror neurons that makes their pain my pain. Because we are a species that lives for each other.
AND THESE ASSHOLES LAUGHED.
They fucking livestreamed it. They made it into a mockery. It's like some demented Kobalite plan I would come up with for an In Nomine game and it happened in the real world. It's a thing I would have used as a satire of inhuman evil, committed by human beings on other human beings.
That's what hurts the most. They laughed.
