We do not talk about helpful people who do not know how to help, and got no training, Feuer. The video - and me - are abouit people we call 2Gaffer" in German, and you know that. People who think they have the right to block routes for police and firebrigades and ambulances so that they can see better. Who take pictures with their smartphones and post them online, maybe in real time. People who feel annoyed when fate strikes near them, for it ruins their plan to have a funny day, and so they attack the victim verbally and want it to get away. People who take it as a personbal affront when a victim dares to ruin their mood by confronting them with its miserable sight.

Gaffer, Feuer, thats what we call them in German, dont we. Stupid, blood-horny, sensationalist disaster tourists.

This is not about cluelessness resulting from lacking preparation and no trianing for how to deal with such situations, Feuer. Just a little common sense, a little civil courage, and a little humane empathy.

And if somebody over this video should get locked, then it is those who did nothing (for "unterlassene Hilfeleistung": non-assistance of a person in danger, which by German law is a punishable offence AFAIK), and those who even took pictures and post them, for that is a violation of privacy and personal rights of the viuctim, to put it this way.

Gaffer are not Gaffer because they lack the training to react adequately, Feuer. They are Gaffer because they enjoy the show. And those who just run away in the video, are either brutal egoists not wanting to care, or are cowards.
