Judging by their user name they are from a german-speaking country like I am, and yesterday there was a mass shooting in a church in Germany. Which is not usual, and people care more about that than some bank over the pond.

Then focus on mourning the dead, and don't waste time over some bank over the pond?

rude.

suggesting he must have been hiding under a rock for the past 2 days to miss the news is funny because it pokes fun at just how prolific the news on this has been in the past 48h, but, the shoelaces comment is implying that he's stupid for not seeing the news.

I think its more about how this information is all very easily researchable, especially now. And most news articles about this situation will have explainers about the finer details in the articles, at least enough to get you up to speed that you don't have to ask commenter on an HN thread for super basic information.

Pretty sure it's just a troll. User has 3 comments including that one.

Another is calling someone a son of a whore(I think) in Spanish. And the third is just saying don't customise emacs. The 2 first comments were in 2021. What a strange account.

Do comments ever get deleted(by mods) on HN? Looks kind of like an account with lots of comments, all deleted, so it's just 3 comments with a weird 2 year gap in between.

Seems really rare for comments to be actually deleted on here, this site manages to rarely attract actual trolls, fortunately.
