Martin Luther King Jr never commented on the loss of thousands in contrast to the death of one. It is a plattributious quote by some internet user.
The plattribution of twitter content to historical characters has become a plague in recent years as the youth have become increasingly disconnected with historical fact.
Sample plattributions:
"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy." - Martin Luther King, Jr
"People believe anything they read on the internet if it fits their preconceived notions." -Thomas Jefferson.
