This is beyond depressing. I cannot for the life of me figure out how when an American (or employee of a famous American broadcast company) gets hurt or killed overseas, a significant portion of our population actually takes sadistic pleasure in it.

What. The. Fuck. happened to Americans? What the hell destroyed our innate empathy and replaced it with something twisted and evil? How in the hell did the asshole Juror #10 from 12 Angry Men get to become a celebrated part of national dialogue?

Just read any comments section where an unarmed black men or boy gets shot repeatedly by the police in Mobile or some such, for extra flavor.

I don’t know how we came to hate ourselves, and I don’t know how to stop it.
