is a satirical catch-all way to shut somebody down. It is descended from old pull-back jokes such as: "That's not funny! My grandfather died in Auschwitz!" "Oh god, I'm so sorry!" "Yeah, he fell off the guard tower."
Once it found its way to the internet, all the unnecessary stuff such as setup and punchline were removed and it was retooled for chan humour which consists of simply saying the same thing over and over. In other words, it was neatly transformed from an ill- advised and decades-old joke into... well, the above basically, but without the joke.
It's mostly used guilt people into apologizing when they make fun of school shootings. Someone will say 'I thought Virginia Tech was hilarious' to which someone will respond; 'THAT'S NOT FUNNY. MY BROTHER DIED THAT WAY' to which the troll will receive his much deserved lulz.
