Listen: I think it's an outlandish story. It really blows my mind that someone would do such a thing and not think that it was wrong. Especially when it is happening in the USA.
What I'm trying to say is just that ethics and morality are easy notions for the well endowed. Not so easy for the one who has nothing.
You can't just say that ethics, morality, caring are universal principles. Perspectives are probably quite different from, for example, the gutter.

I disagree. I think it has much more to do with pride and knowing right from wrong (morals) and acting on those beliefs. And as DGM said lack of cash or position is nothing more than an excuse for not following them. And I do believe they are universal, built into our species survival mechanism.
