Some rather sick comments considering a 5-year old child was murdered. I cannot, for the life of me, find anything the least humorous about this.
Agreed.
However there are no such comments now which is even more terrifying. It means some individual has taken it upon themselves to police public discourse, to decide personally what words can be spoken, to edit speech as it happened.
When a single person has the power, and exercises the power, to decide what can be said in public, however noble the motivation - the end result can only be tyranny.
