On the way home yesterday, a lady almost gets herself killed helping a family of ducks, a mother a babies get across the road.... Came one and read these two stories in the news.
What is the world coming to????
A 12-year-old boy accused of stabbing his teenage friend to death with a steak knife ........ sad that this is how the world is going.
A 78-year-old man is tossed like a rag doll by a hit-and-run driver and lies motionless on a busy city street as car after car goes by. Pedestrians gawk but do nothing. One driver stops briefly but then pulls back into traffic. A man on a scooter slowly circles the victim before zipping away
The chilling scene — captured on video by a streetlight surveillance camera —The hit-and-run took place about 5:45 p.m. in a working-class neighborhood close to downtown in this city of 125,000.
"In the video, Torres walks in the two-way street just blocks from the state Capitol after buying milk at a grocery. A tan Toyota and a dark Honda that is apparently chasing it cross the center line, and Torres is struck by the Honda. Both cars then dart down a side street.
Several cars pass Torres as a few people stare from the sidewalk. Some approach Torres, but most stay put until a police cruiser responding to an unrelated call arrives on the scene after about a minute and a half.
The police chief told The Hartford Courant that he was unsure whether anyone called 911.
“Like a dog they left him there,” said a disgusted Jose Cordero, 37, who was with friends Thursday not far from where Torres was struck. Robert Luna, who works at a store nearby, said: “Nobody did nothing.”
One witness, Bryant Hayre, told the Courant he didn’t feel comfortable helping Torres, who he said was bleeding and conscious.
The accident — and bystanders’ callousness — dominated morning radio talk shows.
“It was one of the most despicable things I’ve seen by one human being to another,” the Rev. Henry Brown, a community activist, said in an interview. “I don’t understand the mind-set anymore. It’s kind of mind-boggling. We’re supposed to help each other. You see somebody fall, you want to offer a helping hand.”
My sons and my mother gave me hell for calling the police when some one hit 3 cars in our parking lot, and took off, and for the time I called police when some guy was beating up his girlfriend outside my home. I don't understand the "do nothing " mentality, or is it because if you care to do something, retaliation will happen?
I understand there are times to shut up and stay out of it situations, but........ was the life of the old man worth nothing?
Typical male............ if you want a beer, I tossed them in the lake to keep them cold... Now you can literally, GO JUMP IN THE LAKE!
George Carlin, a favorite comic of mine.... who has a habit of telling like it is.......... said men are stupid, women are crazy..... Woman are crazy because men are stupid. Go figure, an intelligent male said that men are stupid.
