Sorry to pick nits, but "Gallows Humor" are jokes made by people who are in terrible situations themselves, right?

It sounds like you're asking us instead to post black comedy here? ;)

But if you're only an observer of the hopeless situation and not an actual participant, than it's not gallows humor if you're the one cracking jokes. It's black comedy.

Don't think anyone is questioning the outrage, nor calling for anyone to justify it.

Perhaps consider that gallows humor does not invalidate anyone else's reaction.

Sometimes, in the face of a stark realization of the nature of humanity, all one can do is laugh, rage, or cry. Sometimes all at once.
