Monopolizing On Tragedy?

I am not quite sure this is the word I want to use but it's the word that comes to mind. Some people just make me shake my head. I was on etsy the other day (as I've had habit of doing here lately) when I came across accessories and other such items pertaining to the recent Dallas shooting. All of these police colors, Dallas Police type product and using keywords to do with the recent events in Dallas, Texas. Now I can imagine that there are quite a few people out there using this tragedy as a means of profit. Selling goods that symbolize the recent events as a means for "remembering" and "honoring" the fallen. Nope, Nope and Nope! I can surely condone such things if these sellers were giving a profit back to the fallen's families in this time, but that would be the only exception I could make to this! People are cruel in more ways than one.

All sorts of people in this world. I suppose there's gotta be a few greedy ones in the mix.

If something akin to that shows up on test you know it's in bad taste, right.

i think 'tis horrible, how folks tend to do this'n the eye'f their own greed'n with lil regard to those who's lives were torn 'part. such'd not occur if'n more folks'd a conscious 'n didn't 'buy into' such :( to me, these actions're no better than those who commit these offenses. i dunno how they sleep't night...
