I agree. THAT is not funny at all. That is hate. It is very different from all my friends from work on Tuesday in the kitchen of the restaurant, accusing each other of doing it, and the accused giving bogus reasons why they did it and naming their accomplices and their next target. The bit of laughter we gleamed from that helped ease the tension and allow us to complete our jobs. (I would have much rather not had to work. I wanted to stay home and watch the news SO BADLY.) In this case, jokes and laughter were a weapon of our own, striking back at the terror and rendering it incapable of paralyzing us. The famed irreverance of America has its uses.
And some of the loudest laughers were those who had friends or relatives in New York City.
