Bystanders Ignore Hit-And-Run Victim

[Q Man]

thats disgraceful.....only one person reacted..... but there is often stunts like this,so it could be a case of the boy that cried wolf! but its still really bad! and completely unacceptable!

[VeNoM56k]

WTH! thats F***ed up. where did you come across that.

[VeNoM56k]

thats messed up.

yeah, saw that on the early show this morning. they said that it was bystanders syndrom where they see everyone around them doing nothing so they do nothing either because they arent sure if its needed or whatever. but i think i wouldve done something anyway

i still can't understand how only one person reacted the way i would have expected everyone too!
i think its the fact that people move too fast and don't notice/choose to ignore certain things,and also see/hear what they want!

That's just an excuse, instead of manning up and saying "Oh I royally **Filtered** up there" they try to blame it on everything else.


I'm so **Filtered** sick of all these "syndromes" that people pull out of their ass to shift blame.

I wonder if they would expect people to help them if they were hit by a car

That is terrible to see, but, the cops got there pretty quickly...pity it wasn't an ambulance though

Its real - the guy is now paralyzed and was/is a local person from the neighborhood..

trust me, people dont drive that fast in that neighorhood.. I commute through there often.

Best wishes to the family and may they catch those two morons racing.. I feel kinda bad for the person that saw it and didnt stop.. they must feel really bad..not that anyone was gonna help him.. he wasnt paralyzed cuz people didnt drag him out of the road immediately.

[KnowLedge]

what kind of a[n] <edit> walks in the middle of the road like that...

cant he go to the stop sign??

[SlimD]

everyone "jay walks" in that neighborhood.. like i said, no one drives fast.. there is too much going on.. it's a little neighborhood.. yes, in a big city.. but cars stop for people.. they arent driving like jerks.

[GeneralChaos]

dam, i seen that on the news before but i never actually watched the link,

thats some seriously messed up <edit> right there, i cant believe no one jumped in to help or even get over there to stop it, i guess some people in some cities just dont care about anyone but themselves.

In the state I live in, It the law to stop for pedistrians even if they are jay-walking, they have the RIGHT OF WAY and it should be like that in every state.

Stuff like this is tragic and very disturbing. Best wishes to his family & loved ones. Its sad to hear what happened to him, hope that he recovers.

man those ppl need to get hit by a car now, thats total **Filtered**. "no one else is doing anything so why should i" if anyone ever says that **Filtered** they should get knocked the **Filtered** out.

There are studies on this type of negligence somewhere...

There are a certain ammount of people who cannot act for themselves in a situation like this. They simply look around them to read the reactions of other people and wait for them to take action first.

Imagine if you will;

we herd a large group of these people into a crowded caffeteria and set it on fire. They look around at their peers, back and forth. They smell and see smoke but no one is running for an exit. No one is trying to run for their life so the average person in that group says to themself, "Hey, must not be that bad! I don't see anyone in a panic." These types of people would literally burn to death there.

Same principle on this street.

When you see someone on the road with a smoking engine, one of the first thoughts in your mind might be, "I'm sure he has help on the way."

Well, what if he doesn't? You passed right by him and chances are the next person who does will think the same thing.

Its **Filtered** wierd;
sometimes people of are incapable of doing anything.

[knockout]

those are the ppl who get shot round where i live, i dont live in a pretty neighborhood but we protect ourself and our own. no one should let another individual lay there without any help, no matter the circumstances esp if they were just hit by a car damn it
