What's this?

I always found it odd when people get irritated during times like these

No matter who dies, even if they had ZERO controversial past, there is always the few saying things such as "you didn't know him, it's weird that you feel bad about someone you never met"

Not everyone is the same, not everyone thinks the same or feels the same emotions. If someone feels emotionally touched by someone they have not met, like Kobe, let them, why bring them down? Kobe created the "Mamba mentality" which a lot of talking heads yesterday say goes beyond Kobe and basketball, and that mentality has reached people across the globe. (look it up if you dont know what it means)

But oh well, trolls goin' to troll. Shame Hokies have to be so hateful and rude to other Hokies.
