Clearly these people are beyond shame. They wanted their Boston bombing "trophies".

"To me, this is old fashioned capitalism at work, which is exactly why the US needs to institute socialism. Such greed would largely be eliminated."

No, that would be redistributing the wealth, socialism at its best.

Who would believe that as there is no precedent for such a statement.

I'd be interested in your assessment, after watching the video, of how many of those people even began to look like they were seeking padding,blanketing, for victims.
