"The Crowd"

The Crowd are a bunch of people that come to see any and every tragedy that occures. they are souls damned for all eternity for one mistake made over two thousand years ago; as legend goes they showed up for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, but not out of concerne. instead they just wnated to watch it happen out of curiosity, and for that god punished them to live for all time. their punishment would be to watch every bad thing that happens in this world, and they and their descendants would never be able to enter the gates of heaven.

p.s.
this is just what i heard abouot them but if what i said is wrong please let me know. but i do have something to add to this it was taken from a book of short stories but all of the stories were written be the same person and here it is...(the story of Mr. Spallner, who is involved in an auto accident and is amazed at how quickly a morbid crowd assembles to stare. Studying pictures of and newspaper clippings about auto accidents, he notices that the same people are standing in the background -- part of the crowd that always gathers to stare at tragedy. No matter where in the city, or at what time of the day or night, the same ghoul-people emerge from the shadows to form the Crowd. "They have one thing in common, they always show up together. At a fire or at an explosion or on the sidelines of a war, at any demonstration of this thing called death." wink
