Some people are visited by bad fortune. Some, it might be argued, have a talent for visiting it upon themselves. The latter makes many of us frustrated, angry, contemptuous. In fairness, I think many of us can remember situations where fortune tipped in our favour through no merit of our own.

Regardless of the circumstances, lives were lost unnecessarily. That is always a tragedy; we are all works in progress, and we cannot see the good they may have done in the world, before or after. Name-calling ultimately diminishes the caller.
