It is pretty depressing to find this kind of reply here. If the person was ignorant enough to think that was gunpowder that obviously means they lack knowledge. Some of these people didn’t even know what makes something radioactive. Do you really think the guy would give the powder for his 6yo daughter to play if he knew better?
Have some empathy for people less privileged than you.
You’ve saved someone who is almost certainly already dead from criticism on the internet. You’ve done absolutely nothing for no one, but you’ve put yourself in a position of moral superiority. Well done, I guess.
The intention wasn’t to feel morally superior. I am from Brazil and I know these people didn’t know better. They scavenged for scraps to live, most likely didn’t go to high school. Just wish people were more empathetic, but I imagine that most of the user base here is quite privileged and don’t know how poor and uninformed people can be in 3rd world countries.
