It's not just reporters. Sure, some of the ones who cover disasters are scumbags, but at least they're on the job.
An EF-3 tornado hit in my area earlier in the week. Tornados are fairly rare this far north (suburban Chicago), especially strong ones that damage heavily populated areas. Luckily there were no fatalities, but there was a good amount of damage. In addition to the reporters, there were a bunch of rubberneckers touring the area. One woman drove in from outside the immediate area, parked her car, hauled out a double stroller and pushed her kids around with one hand while filming the damage on her phone with the other, like it was some sort of tourist attraction. Jesus. Eventually the cops had to set up road blocks to keep them out.
Ruined homes and lives aren't the ****ing Pirates of the Caribbean.
