Schadenfreude: "pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune. "
That's exactly what some people have been doing by taking pleasure and delight on Tara Rose McAvoy's tragic train death by making fun of the situation. Ragged Edge has a good piece with lots of examples of idiots with, obviously, very low IQs who think it's funny to hear about a deaf person getting killed by an oncoming train and not hear it. Also, see here and here. Remember this old adage, what comes around goes around. What's lacking is any real common sense and respect. Just be careful on what you say about other people's misfortunes. You might jinx yourself thinking nothing as tragic like that will happen to you.
