That taking a picture of someone who is injured and distressed

And then using it on national news headlines is SICK ? Just seen some news headlines flash up - think it was CH4 or CH5 and there was a picture of the clearly injured and clearly distressed leader of the UKIP still trying to get out of the wreckage of the plane which crashed. What sort of person instinctively reaches for a camera, rather than reaching out to help another human being in distress ?

I think it was frankly horrific that some weirdo took a picture. Nigel Farage looked very distressed, was covered in blood and was still stuck in the plane! I cannot understand why the person's first instinct was not to run to help him rather than snap away!

My DH said it might have been an act of God he quickly took it back when I asked if God wanted the innocent (non political) pilot to die too? UKIP are hardly the BNP, I'm pretty sure God wouldn't want to make him die It's very strange that people actually think it's funny that 2 men were nearly killed.

My best friend died in a car accident 7 years ago. While the firemen were trying to extract him from the wreck of his car, and he was agonizing, a journalist took a photo of him and published on first page, in colour, in our local paper. His mom had the shock of seeing him in the paper when she did not even have time to see him alive in hospital.

It is disgusting. All of us should send letters of complaint to the paper or news agency when something like that happens.

Strictly, very distasteful of your DH to suggest God should kill any politician that belongs to parties he does not vote for.
