...than to casually giggle, or laugh self-indulgently at an event discussing the tragedy itself. It's like giggling or laughing loudly at a funeral. Grotesque lack of what psychologists call "presence" (circumspection). An inability/unwillingness to remain considerate of the sensibilities of others by moderating one's own behavior.
