okay I'm editing this & putting in a disclaimer: I most likely sound like a bitch by typing this up, but I won't take this down because yesterday(6/11) just reinforced this for me.
It's hugely disrespectful to join a fb group for some one who has passed when you don't even know the person or while they were alive, meant nothing to you.
I don't mean the last part to be harsh, but let's be real. At least for me, I know that there are a lot of people who wouldn't do shit if I needed help or a favor at this very moment in time because they can't stand me or I'm just some random chick. I'm not necessarily saying that everyone or anyone would turn around & act like my BFF if/when I die, but I've seen the trends w/ others & it's disgusting.
If you've never even met this deceased person, laughed w/ him or her, or even waved to him or her (sorry, grammar nazi) on the street, there is absolutely no reason to join a group dedicated to his or her memory & then post ridiculous things along the lines of "OMG...i never knew him but he always seemed like a cool guy. RIP" or "we never talked but i always saw him in the hallways RIP"
No. This is bullshit, if you really care, message the family or contact them in some other way to offer your support. Don't post shit up on a wall like this just because you want attention drawn to you that you joined the fucking group & now you "know" some one who has passed. It's absolutely repulsive to see how many more "friends" some one gains after they die. Want evidence? Compare the number of friends some one has on their personal page vs. the number of members in a group created for their memory
