There's a time and place to take selfies — concerts, sporting events, red carpets, space. The still-smoldering site of a deadly building explosion is not one of them.
A little more than 24 hours after an apparent gas explosion in New York City's East Village destroyed three buildings, injured 22 people and left two others missing, a group of smiling women were seen using a selfie stick to take a group photo with the blast site as a backdrop.
The tasteless photo op, captured by a passing New York City event photographer Friday night, was posted on an East Village blog — drawing immediate outrage.
Does everybody have to get outraged about everything nowadays? Tasteless, of course, but people have to chill.

It seems like quite a bit of the outrage is coming from neighbors who now have idiots hanging out on their property snapping pictures. Two people may be dead and these folks who you claim need to "chill" may have lost neighbors, friends, and certainly a chunk or their community. They don't need some dumb asses snapping selfies, getting in the way.
