FULL TITLE: 'This is what's wrong with modern society': Passer-by 'stops to take a SELFIE' in front of victims of the Westminster terror attack
A passer-by who appeared to take photos with a 'selfie stick' in front of victims of the Westminster terror attack has sparked fury.
At least four people have died when a terrorist brought carnage to central London today, mowing down pedestrians on Westminster Bridge and attacking police with knives in the grounds of the Houses of Parliament.
It is currently believed one attacker was involved, killing three people, including a policeman, and leaving at least 20 pedestrians and two other police officers seriously injured.

A smart, British facebook friend of mine says the terrorist is Abu Izzadeen - a local hate preacher.
Also, someone took the picture posted above, and other people in that photo appear to be taking pictures as well. Why is the selfie so much worse?
Just like many of our muzzies were when the WTC towers came down.
But hey felt justified in their pride when GWB told America that Islam is a religion of peace.
Can you understand now why so many people don’t care?
Because their government doesn’t.
It’s a matter of the blind leading the blind.
And possibly even in on it.
Or perhaps the selfie guy is celebrating the success of another attack and plans to post about it on Fakebook.
I saw two in one photo who couldn’t quite conceal their smirks.
We live in an age of shameless narcissism.
I really don’t see what’s so different between him and the other gawkers. There’s a weird human instinct to watch other people’s misery, all these kind of events get an audience, been that way for centuries. Plenty of folks take pictures, including the offended party, this guy just decided to include himself.
To add to your points...
Many people do video reporting using an iPhone/selfie stick (YouTube).
The British Press and the British government will refuse to take this or any other threat to the survival of Western Civilization seriously until it is just too late to do anything about it. They are more concerned with appeasing their enemies and saving the planet from the global warming hoax than with their own survival.
The British government will treat this like a joke, so who are we to criticize a tourist from treating it with the same attitude?
Nothing to see here.
Just to be fair - there is ZERO proof that he’s taking a selfie. He may just be holding the camera above the crowd so he can get video of the scene. Having the camera mounted that way doesn’t require the front camera to be in operation.
Looking at the angle of the camera, that does not appear to be a “selfie”. The camera is pointed way above his head. He was probably just trying to get a picture or video above the crowd and using the screen as a viewfinder.
It’s like stories I heard of China, mostly in the past, where if you weren’t family or perhaps a neighbor, people would step over your suffering body.
It looks like, sooner or later, all cultures are becoming asymptotically equal, and at a low level of communal care.
