"Mr. Idiot," Your disregard for someone's life is very disturbing. If you can learn to look beyond your nose, maybe no one will say, "oh, well," when you die.

You actually have positive votes regarding your comment. My mind is completely blown. I'm doing my very best not to come unglued. You are absolutely hateful and pathetic. "oh well, oh well, oh well.." You and all your heartless admirers are going straight to hell.
