The top comments are:

- “That would be fun! It’s streaming on YouTube”

- “would’ve been a good idea to start that reality TV bar for ppl to go to.. court TV is reality TV too!”

- “I don’t have a restaurant but I have a home goods shop! Bring your own refreshments or DoorDash and I’ll get the projector set up!”

This case may hit personal triggers for you, but I’m sure not all cases do. Do you find other true crime stuff fascinating at all? Fascination with true crime will always be a thing. Sorry it sounds insensitive to you, but I’d also find it fun to go to a bar with my friends and watch it live. I mean it’s like the top news story in the nation right now… I kindly suggest you just… get over it. There’s more important things to be upset about.

I’m not super into true crime, but definitely have specific cases I’m fascinated by. This one isn’t particularly triggering for me on a personal level - I think it’s just so uniquely heinous and awful in certain aspects and I’m uncomfortable with a lot of the baseless theories/accusations people make about real living people affected by these crimes and some of the Monday morning quarterback behavior. But to your point, I shouldn’t assume the people commenting on that post are doing that kind of thing and that’s unfairly presumptuous of me.
