>Why does the media always write headlines like this that evoke irony? Like I get doing it for something political, but just seems very insensitive when it’s about a loss of life. Headlines like this just make people want to comment or make light about the irony of the situation.

How else would you describe the situation? It's absurd that people can't even visit a friend's grave without fearing for their life.

It's less absurd considering that they brought the violence with them. According to the article: “gunfire broke out within the group of people in attendance."

Edit: maybe that's more absurd. I'm not sure anymore.

Also states that the man that was killed was driving the vehicle that the person who's grave they were at was shot in. Lot more to this than a random gunfight at a cemetery, or a "can't even visit a friends grave"

That's so weird. It's like people who spend their lives associating with people who carry guns tend to get shot more.

Careful, you’re making too much sense

Something can be both ironic and tragic at the same time.
