Eric Chase Bolling, the son of former Fox News anchor Eric Bolling, died on Saturday. His passing is being celebrated by leftists on Twitter to mock his father, who lost his job on the cable news network following allegations of sexual harassment.

TMZ reported that Bolling Jr., who was 19, died from a drug overdose. Numerous leftists on Twitter called his death a fitting punishment for his father's alleged actions.

"I knew [Eric Bolling] was a POS, but it is incredibly rare to see karma deliver such harsh justice," wrote @Donnie2Scoop. "The teen son deserved better."

Dozens of other progressives mocked Bolling for his son's death, also calling it karma. Many gloated over the tragedy, sharing GIFs and images to express their joy at his suffering.

Chet Cannon highlighted a number of tweets from users like Annie Padden and Ken Andrew II who called his death karma. Andrew said Bolling "got exactly what he deserved" with his son's death.

Responding to outrage over leftists gloating over the tragedy, a user named @MrMarjani, called the deceased teenager "worm food."

Following the news, numerous people came to the defense of Bolling and shared their condolences with him in his tweet announcing his tragic loss.

No, it's not heartless cruelty. The cruelty is that his son died...I doubt there is any cruelty that hurts more than that.

What if Chelsea Clinton had died? Imagine the comments? Not to dissimilar, I would imagine. People are shitbags, author of this article included, IMO.

Potatoes and Tomatoes Your argument is literally X is excusable because Y is just as bad. Anyone who calls out X is a shitbag because they don't equally call out Y (which in this case is impossible because it's a counterfactual). Time to step away from the mind control devices friend.

Garrik0 Best response ever.

Garrik0 Just reverse his comment:

"I imagine the comments would be similar if Chelsea Clinton had died. People are shitbags"

He is not saying x is excusable because y is just as bad. He is saying that people who comment like this are shitbags.

Granted the argument is not sound because all people are not shitbags.

prehistoric the difference, of course, is that if the right were mocking a hypothetic Chelsea Clinton deatlh, it's unlikely that Sott.net editors would call it.. they would pretend to be deaf and blind as they often do when the heartlessness and cruelty comes from the other direction

Eduardo Oh BS! SOTT is now 'right wing?' Spare me.

It's rare to see tactless crap here, it's part of the humanity that seems to be missing (these days more from the supposed 'left', - which is nothing but a false paradigm label.

Rowan Cocoan Sott was pretty far left for a while,it's become a bit more centered now and to people who are still far left it looks like Sott has gone NatSoc

Eduardo "if the right were mocking a hypothetic Chelsea Clinton deatlh, it's unlikely that Sott.net editors would call it."

Of course we would.

The funny thing is, people are acting like allegedly sending a dick pic to a woman, or calling a woman "Dr. McHottie" deserves to be punished by killing the offenders son...(or implying that "karma" killed him).

No offense, but sending a d-pic, or flirting with an over the hill entitled THOT doesn't even register on my radar.

At this point, I'd vote the man for President if only he promised to make Dr McHottie his campaign slogan.

atreides Wiener did a whole lot worse.

atreides · 2017-09-12T23:32:15Z

prehistoric good point.

prehistoric Yeah, but he was married to Hillary's minion. So he's fine.

"Mr. President, the GLADIO system has operated for four decades under various names. It has operated clandestinely, and we are entitled to attribute to it all the destabilization, all the provocation and all the terrorism that have occurred in our countries over these four decades, and to say that, actively or passively, it must have had an involvement. It was set up by the CIA and NATO which, while purporting to defend democracy, were actually undermining it and using it for their own nefarious purposes."
