.....honestly I'm done with this thread and probably this site for awhile. Some of you have been complete insensitive #######s, yes I am angry and maybe I am unable to see things clearly. But believe it or not, that is a normal reaction when you are so close to where something like this happens. And I know I'm not alone in feeling this way, talking to others that live on my block it is a very difficult thing to deal with. Of course we are not affected nearly as much as the families that have lost the people they so dearly love. But that does not mean this just slides off our backs. It doesn't. This community is hurting.

To be fair and honest, it's not like you've conducted yourself in a way that explicitly looks out for the sensitivity of those even closer to the situation than you. People who actually know Matt, or Lawrence, or the other victims.
Whatever you're going through right now, the reaction you just had to Mustard's comment, just know that people have had those very same hard reactions to some of the stuff you've said in this thread. Take this opportunity to look in the mirror and think about how being insensitive to a certain viewpoint or how someone might be handling this just affected you, and how your own insensitivity to matters concerning this tragedy affected others.
