“Disrespectful Ill-mannered Undignified”

Where did these vulgar, heatless, degrading, earthy just shameful people living in Trinidad and Tobago came from? They have no respect for women. They don’t love their mothers. I would hate to think that this was the work of a father with a daughter/s.
Last week the picture was about an elderly women on the ground with her underwear exposed and a dog gnawing at her. The photographer claims that she was already dead when the filming was taking place. A crude heartless photographer!
This week ―A picture of another elderly woman with a part of her body exposed on the newspaper. A disrespectful, ill-mannered, undignified photographer!

I would hate to think that any of these characters taking these pictures are relatives of mine...
