Humor in light of something that happens and you have to release is one thing.
But come on, the only reason people are making light of this is to take digs at the VP. If this hadn't been the VP, most of these people and none of the late night hosts would be joking about it.
How is someone ANYONE being shot in the face and chest absurd? Why because the man who did the shooting is the VP? Or because the man shot is a GOP lawyer? Where's humor?
Was it a Jerry Lewis Dean Martin routine? Maybe a 3 Stooges? I truly see no humor. I see partisanship on both sides and I don't see 1 person saying they hope the man is ok.
Put the freaking partisanship away and realize this is a 78 yr old man.
I guarantee 99% of the people who laugh now and have been laughing, if this had happened to them they wouldn't find humor in it.
Jesus, he's a 78 yr old man. Where's the concern for him? Where's the compassion for him?
It's a human being and he was shot in the face and chest and people are finding it humorous or working hard to say, "Oh it's nothing".
Again, let's go hunting and let me shoot you like that and let's see the humor in all of it.
It's not about being self righteous and pious..... IT's about maintaining my dignity and beliefs in caring about another human being.
