    [​IMG] Check this. And this (pdf).

    I guess it'd be dificult to blame anyone else for looting pieces off the 9/11 disaster scene when even Rumsfeld and the FBI Director did it...

    If a firefighter, cop, or other rescue worker took a piece of rubble, I can understand that. I can also understand a person who lost someone or who used to work at the WTC doing it. It's a piece of history they were part of and don't want to forget: a sort of memorial. Anyone else doing it, though, is disgusting.

    We had a part of the wreckage from the twin towers on display at the California State Fair here in Sac.

    [​IMG] why is it disgusting?

    I find it stupid that they start charging people who did it though.

    [​IMG] gasp...I would *never* think of Rumsfeld, that kind, honest man, as doing something so dastardly as this...

    Disgusting because those ruins were splattered with blood and body parts of the people who died there, that's why.

    I don't know what the problem is. They took a piece of a building, and I guess that if I had the chance, I would too.

    I suppose this is the place where emotional argumentation decides what's disgusting or not and people have different feelings upon the matter.
