The Freepers love my mother's house burning down.

[Pab Sungenis]

Or, at least that's what I gather from the feedback I just got at my site:

FirstName: JT
comments: I am sooo happy your mom\’s house burned down. It brings me great joy to hear this news. To bad she wasnt caught in the fire and burned to death, but I\’ll take what I can get.

I will sleep with a huge smile on my face for weeks. There is Karma.

1. How disgusting...

But, then again, he mentioned Karma. I'm guessing he doesn't realize that what he spews will come back around to him.

Sorry about your mother's house.

2. Whoever left that message is less than shit.

Fuck them. And I hope they read this response from me, worthless fucking asshole.

Sorry about your mom's house, belongings and pets.

3. That person is so dumb: "There is Karma." Well, if there is

then the message he just left you is going to lead to a hell of a Karmic event for him. So I hope he (or she) will remember that.

I'm sorry there are such shitheads/freepers in the world, fouling it up.

4. There's plenty of sociopaths out there who are that mean-spirited.

Even I have a hard time believing that they would go that far with it, but it is definitely to be expected in this day and age.

I'm sorry about your mom's house and especially her poor dogs. But what matters most is that your mom is still alive, and also that she has someone to love her and care about her as much as you do.

Sorry there's nothing much more I can do for you except offer platitudes. If I were independently wealthy I'd offer to do a whole hell of a lot more. Please be safe during the Holidays, and give your mom warm wishes from DU.

edit - I'm so poor I forgot all about the word "wealthy".

5. What a swine.

I'm so sorry. There are some sick jerks out in the world. I read your earlier thread at work and didn't get a chance to say anything. How scary and stressful for you and your mom.

6. It's because they are sick fucks.

I've run into people like these online. They hate you even though they never met you, and if a disaster befalls your family, they not only express joy and delight and imply that it's justified payback for all your evil, they PUT IT IN THEIR SIG LINES. So every time they post in a forum you visit after the disaster has happened to you, their post serves as a reminder to you of the disaster.

It's for this reason that I reveal as little of myself online as possible, at least in terms of deeply personal stuff. I have seen a woman ridiculed because her husband was killed in a car accident. The poster was grave-dancing not only in her initial response to the news but in her sig line, and why? Because the widow in question had a relationship with a celebrity that angered and envied this sicko. That was the SOLE reason.

It's the same with you. You are hated and your ill fortune is rejoiced in not because of who you are, but because of your politics.

Like I said, they're sick fucks.

I wish you and your mother all the best.

7. Depraved animal.

Differing on opinions and beliefs is one thing, but we're still Americans for crying out loud.

Then again, I recall the snide remarks about the couple that's abstaining (even kissing) until marriage and the proverbial coin really does have two sides.

Wishing death like that is beyond callous.

Satan is alive and well.

11. HEY! Animals are good - don't confuse them with vile human beings! n/t

[Deja Q]

12. A logical assertion.

8. Did they set the fire? Put nothing past a piglicon.

[lumberjack_jeff]

9. This is why they cannot be allowed to run things. Period. n/t

10. OMG! your situation is So Sad,

I wonder if that person has ever heard of Karma, he will some day I pray!

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Quite a few were happy when my husband died too.

It makes me realize how very sick some people can be...
