This is such a tragic event so why are people joking about it?

Something is not right about these images. You have housed berned to the ground yet the trees which are supposed to have been the cause of the fire are still standing green next to some of the ohuses. This was no wildfire. The fire was Targeted at the houses. the same thing happened in California lasy year, Houses burned down to the slab and green trees staning less thart fifty feet away from them. I don't think wild fires work that way.

Instead of making jokes about this and calling it a coping mechanism just don't comment it. Yes you got an opinion, and yes some people find relief through humor but to post it on the Internet? There are people who won't understand this and will get angry. Before you post think.

Why do some people find that it is OK to make a joke out of this?
