Sneed’s oldest brother killed last night

[Baby Lee]

I understand both sides here, at least initially. But I think JakeF has made a competent case that he didn't intend as it came off.

Do what you want, but it seems decent to chalk it up to an inarticulate expression of a decent sentiment that appeared without context to be heartless or pessimistic.

He's cleared up his intention to my mind, and piling on after that point sways things to the reacting parties being the aggressors.
