This is where moderation and improved rules are both required: a post reporting a tragedy should not be able to be marked as funny, it's worse than negative vote trolling on other sites, it's beyond disrespectful, it's despicable.

I understand your point. However this is supposed to be an open platform right? If I understand you correctly you find it disgusting that someone would find the story to be funny. Perhaps someone else would find this to be funny because it will not make the news? Perhaps it is funny to them in a chuckle to themselves and throw their hands up like ‘hey look at this shit fucking crazy right?’ I understand this is weak but playing devils advocate.

And then to those who mark it funny to troll and/or are actually laughing at this women’s demise... well shit dude there is only 7 of them at this moment and we know at least one was a commentator who is doing it to spite you (lol to that) so you could compare that to the 57 insightful and say ‘hey, it is what it is.’

Long story short, we should keep the fun upvote.
