Woman killed by train; man allegedly steals her phone

[n2doc]

Never assume that, even in the moment of death, everyone has sympathy.

Here, for example, is a case that shows some of humanity's baser thought processes.

A woman was killed on Thursday night by a Boston Red Line train at Downtown Crossing Station. Subsequently, police looked at the CCTV video from the station to see what might have happened.

What they saw -- and released to the public -- was a man appearing to show shock at what had happened. However, lying by his feet was a phone in an orange case. It had allegedly flown out of the woman's purse.

At first, the footage shows the man placing his right foot on the phone. Then, he looks around to see if anyone is paying attention to him. Seemingly satisfied that they aren't, he picks up the phone and walks away with it.

that integrity, or lack thereof, is what you do when nobody's looking. You have a choice, you can do the right thing or you can do the wrong thing. If you're ripping off a dead woman's cell phone you just sold out your integrity for a mighty cheap price.
