Beer Joke Guilt

I saw the Drudge Headline "Man shot over warm beer" and laughed with most everyone else. I thought it was very strange to have a warm beer in St. Louis during the middle of a huge snowstorm and laughed at the irony.

Today I read this piece (link in title) from an author who went to the funeral of Robert Jones, the man who was shot. I'm not laughing anymore.

The correct term for what I'm feeling is convicted. Meaning, I'm guilty of something I realize I should not have done. Read the article if you didn't laugh at the story. If you are man enough to admit you laughed, it will be good for you to read the article too.
