Do people have moral?

There is an Instagram account, called "The murder mall", that mocks eccentric and homeless people. The account publishes pictures of people at the Surry Hills Shopping Village in inner city Sydney accompanied by cruel captions. One of the worst thing is that almost 2000 people follow the account which makes fun at unfortunate people as overweight and homeless people, police officers and anyone being "comic" to the owner and contributors of the account.
When this article was published there were 270 posted pictures on the account and a lot of Instagram users commented their disgust to the account commenting pictures or tweeting about it on Twitter.
The account had been reported and deleted but if you put "#murdermall" on Instagram you can see that people still use the hashtag posting inappropriate pictures of unfortunate people.


I'm totally shocked about this account, it's just so disgusting how people can laugh at unfortunate people and the fact that the account had almost 2000 followers! How can people do that? Don't they have a moral? I think that's just another problem of the "internet generation", people hide behind their computers and phones screen an make fun of other people that they don't always know, like in this case, the majority of the time people who use internet and social networks to make fun and insult people are the ones who have some kind of problem in their life, above all teenagers and young adults. It's a good thing that the account had been deleted but the fact that people still use the hashtag makes me sick. Unfortunately, there is a lot more of this kind of account, not only on Instagram but also on Facebook and Twitter, but little by little peoples mind start to change and see that these accounts are not appropriate.
