Thank you, Cain, for your assessment. I'll bear these things in mind as further info comes in.

...that was a good piece of analysis you made there.

I have a little more experience and devoted a little more time to thinking about this kind of thing than the average person.  Or even the un-average person.

It was a nice write-up; id just like to comment that its good how you make an interpretation based on the existant data, like, interpretation is a risk that is rarely acknowledged, there's always more assholes that have blind certainties that happily provide for the masses that want easy answers than accurate reserved assesments.

Not even 24 hours from an event where people died and already cracking jokes, fuck off you hyena.

I pretty much missed this, catching up now.

Am I the only one to wonder if there was something super valuable in that library that won't be noticed now?

Everyone else seems under suspicion, I'd just like to accuse possible book thieves too.

Seriously though, glad you lot are OK.

Why? Joking after something tragic is a perfectly normal response. And it's probably the tamest of the jokes I've seen rolling out so far.

Perfectly normal for people that weren't in the vincinity and it's all just an abstraction; and just because there is a relatively more obnoxious joke somewhere is not really a great argument.

You're right, it shouldn't matter how obnoxious the joke is it's always a normal reaction. Humour is just as valid a coping mechanism as any other.

The only joke I see is that some people are actually believing what I assume you see as a punchline...

yeah, im such a killjoy for not joining in on the best "lulz" of the day, im sure people that were there must be HYSTERICAL knowing that there are people thinking NK was responsible, you know about tact and empathy?

The word hysterical is fitting here, but not in the context you used it. I wouldn't even call it gallows humour because it didn't have any shock to it.

He made an obvious, inoffensive joke, or do you seriously believe North korea planted those bombs?

Your nation is obviously pretty new to terrorism. Give it another decade or so and you'll be able to crack jokes whilst the garbage can that's just exploded and taken out your family is still smouldering.
