There is a callousness in our society that makes it acceptable for people to make horrid remarks about a tragedy like this. A mental health professional on FOX put it well, I thought. He said something on the lines of people are so hurt these days that they retreat into apathy to keep from being hurt again. The problem with that is that the apathy keeps them from being able to empathize, and if you can't empathize, you can make awful comments about a tragedy. Or, on another level, walk into a mall and kill indiscriminately.
Oh yes, they have plenty of those on there about other tragedies. It gets uglier than I think a moderated business forum might be. But not in this particular instance, you might be surprised. Just about every single comment was to express their utter disgust at their posting the photos (the set of 3, particularly since one victim's family lives in the area) and they were threatening to cancel their subscriptions (not that I think all of them were subscribers, probably just read the net version like I do).
