ultimate low for selfishness

I heard in the news several months ago that there was a bomb alert in India during a big religious gathering. The panicked crowd of several thousands pious indians rushed the exits in an attempt to save their lives. In the end there was no bomb, but several people died after being trampled by the mass of people trying to get out of the area.

Now while that event is really sad because several people died while there was no real bomb threat, we can still understand the panic wave that struck the crowd as they thought their lives were in danger. It became a huge free-for-all and everybody tried their best to save their own lives.

last week during the "Black friday" in the united states, a wal-mart employee died after being trampled on by the crowd of people waiting in line to take advantages of the great savings. As the guy opened the doors at 5 am, everybody rushed in and he was caught under the steps of all the shoppers, several other employees tried to rescue him but they were trampled too, other people were taken to the hospital for minor injuries. When they announced they were gonna close to the store because someone died, people complained that they had been waiting in line sine thursday and kept shopping.

That is just retarded how crazy people to get to save money and buy many things that they dont really need to survive. Someone died and nobody cared about it and just kept on shopping and were mad that they would close down the stores. how can they be so careless? I'd like to think that a human life is worth more than a 798$ plasma TV.

This is not w/o mentionning other similar events that happened in the united states over the last year. like that old lady that passed out on the floor in a hospital waiting room and nobody went to check to see if she was and she was pronounced dead like 6 hours after she had been "sleeping" there.

Or what about the guy that got hit by a car and the car just left w/o stopping, then the bloodied bod yremained on the street for 30 minutes while cars were dodging it and pedestrians looked at the guy w/o stopping. It went on until a police car happened to be driving in the area and came upon the body and stopped. becuase they didnt get called there, they just happened to drive on that boulevard.

I dont know how many other events like this there are, but this is too much
