How dare you, Anderson Cooper? How dare you refuse to take a selfie with a random “aspiring journalist” at the site of yesterday’s horrific shooting in Ottawa? What were you possibly thinking?
Oh, you were thinking that taking a silly picture with a stranger mere feet away from where someone had recently been murdered might be disrespectful? That does make sense.
