I think you're misunderstanding what was taken issue with. Not expressing anything for the family of victims is fine. Like you said, we don't express sympathy or empathy for thousands of people every day that die without thought or comment from any of us.
The comments were made to people who went out of their way to say that the families shouldn't be commenting on their kids' deaths or that their comments should be more realistic.
