Did you grieve when Charles Manson or Jeffery Epstein died?

    No, why? I do not grieve for most of people's deaths.

    So your basic respect for them doesn't necessitate your grieving their deaths?

    Grieving one's death, and acknowledging that they have a horrible disease that will almost certainly lead them to a slow and painful death at their advanced age, are not the same thing.

    The thing about cancer, is that it doesn't care if you're a good guy or a bad guy. Cancer is random. Cancer is nature's Thanos-snap. One's actions leading up to a diagnosis are largely irrelevant.

    Cancer isn't a punishment. Though the people in this thread who seem to think it is, or perhaps want it to be, are failing a basic empathy test as spectacularly as Trump just did.

    You think the black men that got sent to prison because of his crime bill have any empathy about his cancer?

    Why don't you go ask 'em and find out? Instead of just using black people as an argumentative scapegoat, that is.
