The article is excellent. I would probably change the title because every death mean grieving family members. “So what” seems cold. I get the point. I would just try to say it differently. Even if your dead family member was a bum and a criminal, it still matters to you.
 
There was I time I would have agreed with you. After seeing videos of the families and their allies they are nothing more than domestic insurgents. Their reactions are no different than that of Palestinians after one of their precious jihad johnnies get blown to hell by the IDF. No acts of acceptance of responsibility, remorse or implied civility - just theatrics, denunciation and condemnation of their enemies. Same exact script, different continent. Sorry, no sale.

I know the other families have been wretched. I do not know about this specific one. Still, even creeps grieve. It would not be a big deal to say the same thing only be more sensitive with the headline.

I think the protests have been horrible and I agree with the point of the article. I don’t know, I have been to many funerals in the past several years so I’m sensitive to it.

They could say: Teenager Shot In Missouri. Condolences to the Family But it is Not National News

It is just more polite. I guess polite is out of fashion.
