Opinion of appropriateness to photograph

The question raised in this article is Do you think it’s appropriate for photographers to take pictures in these situations? The picture was a strong way to illustrate the tragedy. But in my view I think it is inappropriate to take pictures in situations like those. Although the photographers where trying to show what happened, it was inconsiderate to the victims and the family members of the victims. It would have been better if the people were not hiding behind bushes, and asked for her consent. If the photographers introduced themselves and told her they took the picture, she might even tell them her feelings about the massacre. It would be more polite to tell that they were news photographer and ask for permission to take a picture.
