So busy that life has no value

I almost left a guy one time just laying in the street. Then I got a hold of myself and ran over to him. He was turning a fire hydrant and had a heart attack. Dude was just laying there with water gushing out. God I was so ignorant, but I think we've all seen some weird stuff, so sometimes I just say maybe this guy is just weird or taking a nap. Last time when I saw a lady lying in the street having a seizure, her sister came over and was like "oh this is normal, she'll be fine." I was 19 when that happened and I was like "WTF, how is this normal" I think that effected me running to this guy immediately when I was 24. Sorry if this is all clogged together, I'm just typing as it comes back to me.

It's a sad world we live in though when you hit the person and then run away. There's a lack of accountability and ethics in our generation.
 
this apparently occurred in China, which supposedly has no legal protections for good samaritans and allows for victims to sue those that help them...

Ever since this tape was broadcast on the Chinese news last week, the story of two-year-old Yueyue—and the many grown-ups who failed her—has appalled Chinese readers and sparked a debate about the ethical health of contemporary life here. The driver, in a call to reporters, didn’t help matters, saying: “If she is dead, I may pay only about twenty-thousand yuan ($3,125). But if she is injured, it may cost me hundreds of thousands of yuan.”

Honestly, I am willing to be most of the cars that passed probably didn't even know it was a bosy. They just see a black "thing" (that is assuming they even saw it).

But a few of them couldn't have missed it and did nothing. Inxcusable

it's like a short art film on the human condition...the value of a stranger's life is highly debatable, and that fact by itself speaks to how we're programmed.
 
I'm kind of not surprised nobody came to help now that I know where it happened.

I've seen it happened in front of me and immediately like 7 people came to help the guy and the driver stopped and came back
 
Damn I thought homie crossing the street at the end was gonna help him out, dude just kept it moving

Interesting. So even if you want to stop and help, you could potentially be opening yourself up to a lawsuit.

I have noticed things like this are more common in cities with a high population density versus a smaller town or city where people are more apt to interact with someone passing by. It makes sense not to saying hi to everyone you pass by in downtown Manhattan as doing so is not only time consuming but not realistic.

This is obviously common in their territory...


I seen a vid of a cop getting run down at a intersection, Nobody tried to help him. This was in the states..... Not that I'd give a **** either but I'm just saying...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: The music! This **** should be a scene in a movie. So disheartening.

On the real though, there's not much you can do other than call the ambulance unless you're a doctor.

Any civilian that would touch or move that body is liable of killing or worsening that person's condition. So I can see why some sue. People like to act on their emotions and sense of ego that they're a good person in rushing to a body after an accident but never stop to think about what they're actually doing.
 
****** up, but at the same time dude tried to cross on a green light obviously with incoming traffic.
