Okay, all my posts are random. Wanna fight about it?

This video was dedicated to the victims of a shooting. It's supposed to pull at heartstrings and call for sympathy, i think.

But why should someone feel sympathetic for these people? Odds are, you don't personally know them.
Is it because they died for no reason?
But people don't always die for a cause.
Is it because they were shot?
But being shot isn't the worst way to die.
Is it because they had families and friends that depended on them?
Almost everyone does (I hope)
Or is it because they didn't deserve it?

Almost 2 people die every second. What makes the way these people died any more commendable than the two people that died in the time that you've read this sentence? I guess the most reasonable answer i can come up with is that they died at the hands of someone else. But still. There are plenty of murders. But do any of these people deserve to die? Does anyone deserve to die? Does anyone deserve anything? Do people get what they deserve?

No.
