You’re right it’s two pictures taken out of context, it was your text that asserted it’s from an article and this is a comment from it. My mistake entirely. It’s a funny meme given the absurdity of it.

So… his picture shouldn’t be shown? How does that follow?

Standard journalism etiquette is to humanize stories so the reader can connect more easily. It’s one of the reasons local news channels interview random people for quotes, or why they pull random twitter posts to include from people for random commentary about something. Also not sure how you never noticed that almost every story about someone dying in an unusual way includes their photo. That’s basically standard regardless of the situation or genders.
