In a blatant case of “too soon”, comedians are already making jokes about the Bowling Green Massacre less than a week after the country learned of this unspeakable tragedy.

The internet is also rife with jokes and memes making light of the cowardly assault on the Kentucky town that appears to have so many doubled over in pain.
