    The implication there of course being that she’s in the wrong

    Because she is.

    having her life destroyed over a dark joke

    Volpe was arrested for disorderly conduct, held overnight at Tazewell County Jail, and released on $0 bond under Illinois’s SAFE-T Act. No formal court charges were filed. Her student-teaching placement was terminated.

    That’s a long long way from “having her life destroyed”.

      So we’re back to ‘nobody can make jokes like this’.

      That’s a long long way from “having her life destroyed”.

      She’s lost her job, and will never be able to get back into teaching. The publicity will probably make it difficult for her to get any sort of good position in future. Most people would certainly feel that way.

        So we’re back to ’nobody can make jokes like this’.

        Repeating the same nonsense over and over doesn’t make it any more true.

        She’s lost her job

        As she should.

        and will never be able to get back into teaching

        That’s up to schools to decide. If they decide they don’t want someone on their staff that thinks it’s okay to joke about murdering children, that’s their prerogative. No one is doing that to her, she did that to herself.
