The sheer callousness of it all. What kind of a sick society do we live in?

Friends of murdered British tourists attack Obama for lack of compassion after he failed to reply to THREE letters from grieving family
His failure to respond to three letters sent to the White House was because there was no "political value" and not worthy of a few minutes of his time.
âIt would perhaps appear that Mr Obama sees no political value in facilitating such a request or that the lives of two British tourists are not worthy of ten minutes of his time.â
The powerfully built teen even looked bored as emotional DVD presentations about the dead men prepared by their grieving parents were shown in court.
Tyson, who has the word 'Savage' tattooed across his chest didn't show a flicker of emotion, slumping in his seat as he was forced to watch a montage of photos showing the victims from early childhood to young men.
They spoke out as teenager Shawn Tyson began a life sentence after being found guilty of the murder of James Cooper and James Kouzaris last April.
Both were shot several times and their bodies were found on either side of the street, shirtless and with their trousers "practically to their knees", prosecutor Ed Brodsky said.
"The boys were crying, 'Please let me go home'," Brodsky said. "Instead, Shawn Tyson said, 'Since you ain't got no money, I got something for your ass,' and began shooting."
The rebuke follows Mr Obama's personal intervention into the shooting in Florida of a young black teenager by a white-Hispanic neighbourhood watch captain.
