first IF the parents teaching did lead to this then YES blame the parents..
if (again big if) they did raise their kid right then they deserve sympathy, but not the idiot doing CRIMINAL DESTRUCTION that caused his own death.
as for "its obviously racism" I will (instead of blind comment) ask you are you being sarcastic or genuine...
If your first comment was also sarcasm I will apologize for miss reading your comment.

Emoji meant to convey that.....
You are obviously not familiar with my posting history.

Parents are to blame. If you were raised to respect your teachers and your parents then you wouldn't confuse rules with racism and you wouldn't be acting like a hoodlum.

I opened up that link to twitter, and it is full of people mocking the person's death.
no they are clearly mocking someone who WAS ENGAGED IN A CLEARLY STUPID CRIMINAL ACT THAT BY ALL LOGIC COULD LEAD TO DEATH... yet this person STILL MADE THE CHOICE TO DO SO.. so his own WILLFUL STUPIDITY CAUSED HIS DEATH.. Big difference when taken as a whole/all the facts vs the clearly canned "mocking a persons death"
It reminds me when I was visiting the house of a co-worker a few years ago when he needed help with something. I ended up watching a movie with them (the coworker and his brother). I forget what it was, no it was a show. I forget. Whatever it was it was extremely violent. And the kid kept laughing every time something extremely violent happened, like a man's head getting chopped off. I had to stop watching the program because it was too graphic.
clearly different situation all around . it was a fictional movie not real life.. yes disturbing but not comparing apples to apples
It amazed me how non-nonchalant and giddy he was at watching extreme graphic violence. I thought perhaps it was a nervous laugh, you know not a laugh of revelry in the death, but like, wow that was gruesome, that's uncomfortable, I'm a laugh it away. But he was genuinely happy to see the carnage. I asked him about it, and then told him that it was wrong to laugh at the death of another human. He said it's just a movie, it's fake. I said, still, how do you find enjoyment or pleasure in watching graphic violence? How can you laugh like you do at it? It is wrong what you are doing.
ok again your not comparing apples to apples... this movie is fake and yes violent... this persons death WAS CAUSED BY THEIR OWN ILLEGAL ACTIONS . NO WHERE NEAR THE SAME... as for they kid (dont know his age) laughing is troubling, but an entirely DIFFERENT ISSUE than this situation. he is laughing at the violence.. we are laughing at the STUPIDITY and the general easy to see happening outcome of their DELIBERATE ACTIONS...again repeating not apples to apples.
There is a Proverb I read it when I was young and it has always left a deep impression on me. I had to look it up but I found it. Here it is...
"When your enemy falls, do not rejoice, And when he stumbles, do not let your heart be joyful."
Proverbs 24:17.

Some of the best parents have way-ward children......
Depends on who influences them when they reach the age of personal
responsibility and how they handle their 'new' independence in the wake
of their 'new' independence.

And how Americans rejoiced when American Marines invaded another country to carry out an illegal war, and pulled down a statue of Saddam Hussein.
Double standards or what.

I may be a little too old school for you, but I consider making the death of another human the butt of a joke in poor taste. No matter how reckless or stupid. It was a life that was lost. Even if it was the worst person in the world. There should be no rejoicing or joking about it. That is just wrong.
im sorry but have you ever heard about STAYING ON TOPIC?
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S. troops pulled down a giant statue of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein hours after coalition tanks rolled into the center of Baghdad Wednesday

So the topic is not about the destruction of a statue ? I see.
And yes it was U.S. Marines.

Sorry to upset you with mentioning an illegal war and destruction of a stature in Iraq.
After a couple of hours, the US Marines toppled the statue with a M88 armored recovery vehicle.
one is in USA and was an ILLEGAL STUPID ACT..
