:
Because it purposely trivializes the recent tragedy, by comparing it with others, and asking a question that should be self evident to anyone who doesn't have to wear diapers to keep from shitting themselves. We are more concerned with dangers in our own society, and how to stop them than we are going to be about another society that we have no control over. How stupid would a person have to be to not understand that? Lorne Lanning stupid. That's how stupid.

Except it never trivializes anything.
It’s saying: “You find these deaths sad? How come you don’t find
these deaths sad too?”
It never says “man fuck these kids,
these guys are way more important”. That’s an important distinction to make.
Now, it
is being critical of people who find things they hear about in the news sad by implying they only care about the things they hear about. And yeah that’s hella dumb because you can’t expect people to know everything that happens in the world.
But it’s doing that so as to make people think a little more. And that’s no bad thing.
