I think his reasoning was to see how far the sign holding folks would go for money, and they apparently didn’t really have any limits. Should he have done and shown it on youtube is the thing he can be criticized for

On top of that many are also incapable of defending themselves. Hard to fight for your rights when you aren’t even able to

Going through the endless footage of it on youtube is one the things I always return to. The destruction is unimaginable. The horror is gut-wrenching. Seeing everything just getting washed away is both absolutely terrifying and utterly humbling in a way I’ve never found anything else to be. The best part though, is seeing people survive; encourage and rescue each other.

It is a horrible event that shows both the cruelest parts of nature and the best of humanity. I am so thankful of all the brave people that have posted the footage. It is something that should never be forgotten

All words are made-up, that’s how they work! /j
