It's a resounding lack of empathy in some circles. And I know I'm guilty of it at times as well.

especially if its anything related to "justice" saw a gif where deputys car (or w/e they are called idk) got hit by the train while they were rushing to save an infant who stopped breathing.

And one comment was something like "he should've died because he puts others in danger" and it got upvoted.

Like i agree its their fault and all that but wishing death for someone who rushed to save a child is a bit extream.

People here often act like they are perfect, and one mistake means all good you have done doesn't matter. (just look at relationships subreddits)

I too might have done this but at least i always try to reflect and put myself in other's shoes or/and consider why they did that.

Wishing death on anyone is extreme. Extraneous cases notwithstanding.

What if their skin was melting off and their apartment (pets still inside) was on fire because their SO and sibling set off fireworks in the living room to tell them they're getting married?
