I don't think they're cold blooded psychos (I hope). They're just trying to make humour from a tragical situation. The problem with black humour is that the line that separates it from an unappropiate comment is a thin line, that besides it doesn't lie in the same place for everybody.
I don't think it's funny, we're talking about murdered kids. But neither I think that there's bad intention, just lack of social skills.
With so many fingers pointing at Aspergers over what happened to those kids, I think this is the last place flippant remarks and jokes about it should be made.
Perhaps I over reacted or reacted in the wrong way, but that kind of thing happens in situations like this and a lack of social skills swings both ways.
Precissely because so many fingers are pointing, helping people to be aware of incorrect comments is important. When you tell people that they acted wrong in a aggresive way, they use to rise up their barriers and hold up their position, so at then end nothing changes.
I think you're right, but I think that saying it in a more diplomatic way would be more helpful.
