How much sympathy if Trump got robbed?

Hell, Kim's empire is probably worth more than him.

 

[John Kowalski]

What worthless humour. Quick to exemplify the kind of dignity people expect of themselves.

 

[Pamplemousse]

Oh for fuck's sake. As mentioned above, she was assaulted alright, tied up and gagged while held at gunpoint, and you are saying that ISN'T assault?

Just admit it. You hate the Kardashians so you are projecting your hate onto them even after this traumatizing event. For that you really should be ashamed.

I don't hate anyone. I do feel bad for her and wish that it hadn't happened, but to say that we can't make jokes about these things is ridiculous. You really can't handle the 500 years of minimum wage joke?

In comedy nothing is sacred, and that's as it should be. She's fine, and she'll be able to continue hoarding millions of dollars worth of jewelry in the future.

 

[Condom]

Editie: nvm, it's non constructive ranting and doesn't add anything of value to the discussion

Trump would never get in a position to be robbed.

He knows how the criminal mind works through the art of scamming and conning others of their money.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

Damn, went for the jugular with the minimum wage upper cut.

And that one about what if she was murdered. Daaaaaaaamn.

 

[Cels]

yea the ones saying she deserved it or whatever are bad, but...

Je pense rien du braquage de Kim Kardashian. J'ai des problèmes aussi. Je suis à découvert. Merci.

...what's so disturbing about this tweet?

 

[HyperCubed4]

Damn, went for the jugular with the minimum wage upper cut.

And that one about what if she was murdered. Daaaaaaaamn.

"kim kardashian got 10 million euros worth of jewelry stolen, but the real info here is that you can walk around wearing 568 years of minimum wage."

For real. That was brutal.

 

[Slurpy2k20]

And millions of individuals who lambast and moan about the rich rather than channel that energy and time towards doing something productive that will enable them to start climbing the ladder.



Top quality post. Do let me know when you decide to post again. Can't wait to read it.

Yeah, cause Kim Kardashian is just such an incredibly productive individual, hard-working individual that just "climbed the ladder" to extreme wealth, right?

Also, these are some of the mildest tweets I've seen, and do not even begin to compare to the thousands of nasty US-based tweets I've seen. I don't condone the robbery, but maybe people should think twice about waltzing around with $10,000,000+ of fucking jewellery on them? That might increase your chances just a TAD of getting robbed.

She does seem to be very hard working.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

The hate people feel for the kardashions is pathetic honestly.

Some hater ass shit.

She gotta be doing something right to have a brand making cheddar like that. You wouldn't be so upset if that was you with that cash in the bank, lol.

So now we victim blaming? Lmao. Don't wanna get robbed don't wear shit? Should that logic apply to anyone wearing anything a criminal might covet?

Compared to someone in poverty I might be flaunting my 600$ apple watch. Or a 1000$ cell phone. Do I need to think twice when I walk outside lmao.

On the real though I'm shocked she doesn't have security. Like really shocked she ain't got armed goons on the payroll.

The hate people feel for the kardashions is pathetic honestly.

Some hater ass shit.

Yup. I never watched the Kardashians but folks shitting on a person being robbed at gunpoint is fucking low. People that angry at those that got more? Did she do something illegal?

 

[excelsiorlef]

I sincerely believe in Karma, Kim Kardashian spends her life flaunting riches and being anything but humble, I would go as far to say she looks down upon people from the way she behaves.

There are people in the world who are very poor through no fault of their own people who are suffering everyday and Kim makes a living from exploiting people with lies and deceit and uses peoples weaknesses for her own self gain and promotion.

I truly believe the above is factual based on her many business enterprises and reality TV show and many other things, but I truly believe the karma here is in the way she boasts about it.

I am not saying she deserved to be robbed or have a gun pointed at her but I am simply saying that if this event doesn't make her reconsider the way she behaves then nothing will, I do show empathy for having to go through something like that however.

You believe her getting robbed is karma but you don't believe she deserved it and have enpathy.... sure, I believe you

 

[John Kowalski]

How is Kardashian exploiting the poor with lies and deceit?

 

[Snowblindvictim]

I'd use the word, "suspicious" if I were an insurance investigator.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Because god knows Kim is so broke she needs to commit insurance fraud.

 

[jmdajr]

Personally, I don't have a lot of empathy for this situation. I am flawed. Nobody's perfect.
I will do some soul searching, reflect, and pray to Jesus.

edit:

The reaction to the Kardashian robbery has, in many quarters, been unkind. But that’s not because people don’t have empathy for a woman, a mother, a wife. They just don’t have empathy for a hollow brand.

And in the process of building her significant wealth and fame, it’s the brand — not the person — that people know.

seems fair

 

[clemenx]

Meh. People who champion how much empathy they have for poor Kim from a moral high horse are as bad as people insulting her.

Most of us are just in the normal people middle ground: We don't give a shit (why would anyone not close to her?) and if a good joke like the minimum wage one comes to the mind there's nothing wrong with telling it.

 

[Subpar Spatula]

It's not like you're perfect either, you most likely hate something for some dumb reason and are OK with it.

KK is a wealthy person who flaunts that wealth in a world where a lot of people can't afford basic necessities or much leisure. It sucks she was robbed because it's shitty but it's not hard to understand why people don't really care when uber rich person gets robbed and her financial life won't be impacted.

 

[Fox Mulder]

No one would be joking if their loved ones were tied up and robbed at gunpoint. Fuck these people.

 

[jmdajr]

It's crazy but lots of people don't see Kim K as a real person. There is no connection.

The quote I put earlier sums it up pretty good.

 

[clemenx]

No one would be joking if their loved ones were tied up and robbed at gunpoint. Fuck these people.

Well, yeah. I care for those close to me, or those I can relate with.

What a novel concept.

 

[Cagey]

The concept of punching up to the rich for comedy doesn't suddenly become off limits, in bad taste, or unfunny just because the victim is associated with Kanye West.

 

[excelsiorlef]

How is me believing it is karma for the way she chooses to flaunt her riches for her to get robbed got anything to do with me feeling empathy for her getting robbed?

Just because I believe it's karma doesn't mean that I believe she deserved to get robbed, look up the definition of karma before you start trying to take offense to another thing that I say as you usually do because it doesn't fit in with your views, not everyone with an alternate opinion is a bad person, you do know that, right?

"the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences." < the definition, saved you the time.

I don't like to see anybody suffer, I do however believe than when you behave in the way Kim does with her money that it is asking for trouble when we live in a world of suffering and people are desperate, I mean Kim is already a target because of her money anyway, why make yourself a bigger target?

If you're not saying she deserves it you're definitely blaming her for it.

She's not by any means an actual bad person, there is no logic that somehow her getting tied up and robbed at gunpoint is somehow karma for what? Having money?

She's not oppressing anyone with it. She's done a decent amount of charity work. She's not a bad person just because she's rich.

There's no karma here.

Personally, I don't have a lot of empathy for this situation. I am flawed. Nobody's perfect.
I will do some soul searching, reflect, and pray to Jesus.

No it doesn't.

She got robbed and tied up at gun point not her brand.

If people can't take 5 seconds to differentiate, that's on them.

Hence you normaly should feel sympathy when someone else is in a situation which you find horrible.

 

[Valkerionseven]

meh those were pretty tame/uninteresting tweets.

Then again its about Kim Kardashian so eh...

Though imagining all those insults with a french accent was cute. Aggressive French people are sound weirdly adorable to me.
