fail to understand why so many on this thread are wrapped up in outrage over making fun of a convicted felon

Oh, so he's not a murderer any more?

I will try to explain this as clearly as I can in the most elemental means available, "Thinker."

A decent father who loses a son does not see any levity in the legal process. He does not spout one liners. His joke doesn't make fun of the man who took his son's life - it makes a mockery of the entire situation.

What kind of a person, when his son is dead, cracks jokes?

Answer: A monster.
