I've stopped believing people who act like they mourn the deaths of people they didn't know about before. I can believe mourning celebrity you liked, but not a regular person who made the news just because they were killed. I used to think I was bad for not being able to care, but now I think everyone else is secretly the same as me and fronting because society acts like being sad about every death is an obligation to being a good person. But it just doesn't make sense to care so much about someone you didn't know.

I think it's possible to find it tragic that a human life, whether personally known to you or not, has suddenly ended, and in a horrible way.

No, you don't have to be sad about it. People die every day.

It's those folks who are way too giddy or go out of their way to comment, "Oh, so-and-so died? Oh well, who cares" that I don't particularly care to listen to.

I think it's possible to feel sad in a general sense about someone you didn't know dying, especially if there's something particular about the story that tugs at your heartstrings (like if they were very young, for example.)

I'm not sure how possible it is to mourn them in the same way you would a loved one or close friend. 'Mourning' implies missing and feeling their absence in your life in a personal sense that I don't think applies when a total stranger dies. Although, it might be possible to feel the effects of their death in a more lingering way if, say, the circumstances were particularly tragic or horrific, or struck close to home because they parallel someone in your own life who was like that person or died similarly.
