Ch 4 is reporting they were scrappers. I officially rescind my condolences.

What could have possibly been left to scrap? I would have thought the place would been totaly cleaned out a long time ago.

Just because they were scrappers doesn't mean their families don't deserve condolences. They may or not have approved of this practice, but regardless, they are probably hurting.

Call me cold-hearted, but why? They would be aware of the risk. Should we justify dad going out to rob the liquour store so he can provide for the family? It's not hurting a lifeless old building, it's hurting the community more than a single family.

I can't really look past this sorry. Maybe if I met the family I'd feel some sympathy, but I shouldn't let this distract from the fact that scrappers make the city worse by the day
