Wealthy, evil white man who kills a woman and wants my guns gets Christian kindness. Poor black woman who SHOPLIFTS and dies HORRIBLY gets laughed at. Something wrong here?

Apples and oranges. Unless you can show that driving off a bridge causes cancer, there is no irony connecting the two events - and the irony is what generates the humor.

But aside from that, it takes real chutzpah to come into a thread where people are actually acting respectfully, and try to stir it up in such a manner. I can picture you barging in on someone's funeral, and interrupting the eulogy to rant in the aisles that the speaker said nasty things to some homeless guy outside. I believe there's an obscure phrase in use that says "two wrongs don't make a right".

Nonsense. If Christian values or anything for that matter prevents laughing at a murderer’s misfortune then it certainly prevents laughing at a shoplifter’s horrible death.
