The harmless features suddenly become a despicable element.
Internet users accuse Google “deaf” for showing a happy fireworks animation above the layout of news that shows a reform about mass shooting, where six people were killed.
The July four were celebrated in the US because today in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the Continental Congress.
A armed man on the roof fired on the Parade of Independence Day in Chicago, killed six participants and injured 30 others. He also triggered a total chaos scene when the panic audience ran for their lives, leaving the parade route filled with chairs, balloons left behind and personal goods.
The police launched a massive hunt after the incident and announced the arrest of Robert Crimo who was 22 years old, identifying him as an “attractive person” in this case.
Emergency officials said about two dozen people, including children, were treated for shot injuries, with some critical conditions.
The shooting was part of a wave of weapons violence that disturbed the United States, where around 40,000 deaths were caused by firearms, according to the Archive Gun Violence website.
