"This is a forum of current events, not a Quilting & Crying tea party."

Yes, it is a forum for discussion of current events, which is what this person was doing. I suspect that you'd be singing a different song had it been your wife who was shot.

Discussion does not mean that everyone is going to agree with your particular position.

I don't go boo-hoo for every person that died yesterday. A person dies, what, every 6 seconds?

The topic of discussion wasn't the death or the other 14,400 people who died yesterday.
