Maybe the people are just in the way of what the photographer wants to take
a picture of. And either from shyness or politeness doesn't want to
infringe by asking them to move. Of course, this doesn't count when your on
the beach taking photos of women or men in their swimsuits or lack thereof.

Psychopathic killers, however, are not mad, according
to accepted legal and psychiatric standards. Their acts
result not from a deranged mind but from a cold, calculating
rationality combined with a chilling inability to treat
others as thinking, feeling human beings. Such morally
incomprehensible behavior, exhibited by a seemingly normal
person, leaves us feeling bewildered and helpless.
