“Sparked public outrage”
Only reference in article is a link to another story discussing outrage on social media in general. AP is pushing a capitalist agenda.
I personally haven’t seen any outrage. Just that dark humor.
The outrage was already sparked. That's why he got shot.
I've seen plenty of outrage.
It's just all targeted at the insurance companies.
I think you're misreading this sentence: I think it's clearly implying public outrage surrounding US health insurance, not about the killing itself. "The killing has sparked public outrage and dark humor on social media" pretty clearly implies to me that they mean the public outrage associated with the dark humor.
“Humor”
Haha. Yes. We all make funny jokes! We're just joking right guys?
In Minecraft
The only outrage I’ve seen is directed towards mods on various platforms for locking community discussion about this incident.
Lol, "humor"? People seem downright giddy, and it's not a joke at all.
My dad got fucked around by insurance until he spent the rest of his (probably shortened) life in a wheelchair. For profit insurance should be a crime, they're all ghouls, fuck em all.
