Mass casualty

Driving around Pomona last night, I came across the aftermath of a hit-and-run on a taco stand. One dead and a dozen injured.

Not the first time I’ve had or will witness death and injury from a distance and I’ve never felt even a mood change each time. It’s amusing if anything. Also a bit of insight on how little others would care if something horrible happened to me.

Fuck ‘em. Normal?

    Looks like we have a new edgelord troll on here, as I've seen several posts similar in nature to this lately.

    Anyway, if you're not in fact said edgelord troll, I'd say it's definitely abnormal to find tragedy and death "amusing". It shows a lack of empathy, or at least a very self absorbed outlook to not care at all about what happens to others.

      I have a sibling who's an ER doctor. He's seem some pretty gruesome injuries, both accidental and intentionally caused by others. He's not a naturally uncaring or calloused person, but he told me at a certain point you just can't afford to respond in an empathetic way or else the pressure of the job will break you

        I don't doubt that, and I can understand it, especially when those people are around death/injuries so much.

        There's a difference between what you describe and the OP finding death amusing, however.

    I feel huge pain for life loss but also for why it happened. I hate incompetent people making decisions that hurt people

      That last sentence is why I won't live in my ghetto ass hometown anymore. There are so many people like that. XD

    In my community people would definitely care if someone mowed down ppl with their car. It says a bit about Pomona.

          Says more about those particular teenagers than the whole of society.
