[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On Reddit, people said the wife of one of the pilots is being treated horribly. She had asked for people to share photos of her husband, and someone replied they should share photos of CRJ victims.

My call to everyone is to do something nice for others.

Text your government friend and let them know you appreciate their work.

Hold the door for someone.

Text a friend or family member, and let them know you love them.

Hope we can preserve aspects of a healthy society where we treat each other well.

It is shockingly insensitive for families of the helicopter pilots to be seeking that kind of attention under the circumstances.[/quote]

Don’t think those families are less devastated? You suck. [/quote]

Of course they're probably devastated. But sometimes it is not appropriate to publicly ask others to join in your grieving.[/quote]

She posted on her personal facebook page.    Presumably, the only people that would be looking at it and sharing would be her friends and family.    If "the public" doesn't want to share and join in her grieving, they don't need to look at her page.[/quote]

NP here. Maybe this is the pilot who has a child and the wife wanted to collect photos for the child. I’m old enough now to unfortunately have a few friends die, leaving behind young children and this seems like a common request (to gather photos for the kids). [/quote]

Yes, it would be understandable to ask for photos-- privately.

I don't understand how the family thought posting publicly was going to go over well. How do you think people would react if the family of someone that just T-boned a school bus at high speed posted this?[/quote]

It was a public fb post?![/quote]

Yes, it was. Maybe not intentionally.[/quote]

It's on her personal page, but the setting she has is public.   Maybe because she thought there might be other people that she doesn't know/aren't her facebook friends, that still might want to share memories or photos of her husband.   For example, some of his old friends from high school that he hadn't kept in contact with in the last several years, but they heard about this and looked at his wife's page.   They may have some very special memories from decades ago that they'd love to share with is wife.[/quote]

Again, how do you think people would react if someone publicly asked for photos commemorating someone that just ran a red light  and t-boned a school bus? Would you be posting in their defense?[/quote]

I wouldn’t waste any time thinking about it right now. I live in Alexandria where the city has to keep closing off areas because “debris” keeps floating in more and more areas (so awful and sad). It’s not productive to have that kind of energy. If you know anyone affected by this tragedy I would direct your energy to supporting them in whatever way helps but doing deep dives on family members’ social media isn’t it. [/quote]

It’s so sad that people can’t just wait until the investigation is over to blame people.  Everyone on both aircrafts are dead.  Have some empathy.[/quote]

+1000

Everyone wants a villain to rage against. In this and everything. Our society is so reductive and mad. There's no room for other emotions or for rational thought. It's just us/them, good/bad, black/white. It is really sad.[/quote]
