there were also other people on twitter, some replying to Katie Rich that also posted equally offensive comments.

Katie Rich stated that Barron was going to be the first home schooled school shooter, others made comments that Barron had killed 100 small animals.

Children, especially minor children, of politicians and famous people should ALWAYS be off limits from personal attacks. Even adult children should be off limits as well UNLESS they chose to actively involve themselves in the political arena or otherwise actively do something stupid.
