im almost fully convinced that something is just so wrong with our society. i mean people are dieing, sending a huge message that there are less of those who help, and when they do the rest of us dont follow, we simply move on. As if care free again. it sucks cause the dude risked his life and lost it, due to some random bitch that was gonna get mugged and possibly alley banged. she could of atleast reached in her purse and dial 911.

Mugged? Alley banged? Like I said, chances are the dude looked like he was just passed out. Don't tell me you check every person sleeping on the street if they are dead or not. Chick was most likely in an argument with her man. Not to mention you have no idea if she or her man have criminal history in which you wouldn't want to call the cops. Good people die every day. Is it fair, no. Shit, Some people die as casualties of conflict during overseas fights. It wasn't the best outcome for the man that died, but don't act like you all are for justice when there are people in jail for things they didn't do. Anything can be looked back on in retrospect when one has a clear head. How many times have you seen someone standing outside of their car on the side of the freeway? Most likely you would drive right past. Say someone gets into an accident and hits the individual that was standing outside of their car and the impact kills them. Then you would start thinking back, ' Man, if so-and-so happened then they wouldn't be dead '. Life's a bitch.

^^ However it's with this mentality why people continue going on not caring about others. It's pretty damn depressing. Bystander apathy is exactly it.
A person can at least take the time to help some people rather than choose to help no one. Not everyone can be saved from whatever it is they need to be saved from, but at the very least, whatever is within one's ability to help another person, you should at least try. I've pulled over on the side of the road to help people more than most of you probably think I should go out of my way doing such as help someone push a car, call a tow, jump start a car, give a ride. You see a person standing next to some food joint and begs people for food...come on it's freakin food not your pocket change but for freakin food! You offer him/her a meal. I've seen a person passed out on the floor and walk up asking if he is alright, even if more often times than not, these people are just drunkards you just never know.... I guess most people don't do it because they can't trust anyone and to each his own, but seriously, just think to yourself, if you are ever caught in a situation where you needed help and you had no family or friends to come to your aide, you'd damn well hope that someone out there with a kind heart comes to your rescue. You don't just accept that that's the way the world is, you step outside of the box and change the way the world thinks. |

thank u crashqueen. its all the simple minded ppl that dont want to change their ways, and actually do help someone.....until that happens the world wont change. If we just be ignorant to the world, we would fall apart as a human kind.
that's what makes us human, by helping each other, not stick up our noses and walk around thinking that ur the perfect shit. then u get in a bad situation and u need help and no one wants to, u will see things differently my friend. That homeless dude is still a human, he had memories, good and bad, he had history. let me ask u a question ZAR, if u were one of those ppl walking by the homeless guy thats bleeding to death, u wouldn't call 911? |

That sucks what happened, but having worked in NYC it doesn't surprise me at all. I think that the dude that went through the trouble to shake the dude and saw the blood could have taken the minute to call the cops atleast... i mean he was somewhat concerned to see a guy passed out on the floor. anyways yeah shit sucks. And to Crashqueen, i hope that if i ever get stabbed or pass out on the street, someone like you would do something to help.

It is about a man who tried to intervene in an argument and ended up getting stabbed. There has yet to be sufficient proof that all those people who passed him know that he was dead; aside from the the other, "hobo" that is believed to be fully aware that he was dead. Truthfully that is illegal to do that. You all assume that they knew he was dead because you WANT them to be aware that he was dead. How often do you walk past someone and think that they are dead or not? How many of you have even seen that was dead straight up on the street? People believe what they want to believe and the body runs on auto pilot for a majority of that time, that's why one would be more willing to think that he is a drunk on the sidewalk than a man who died trying to do an alleged good deed. I'm pretty sure most people who at least call the cops if they think that there is a dead body on the street. If they are aware. In which this case, I believe a majority wasn't.

still not like that........i mean its no ones job or anything, but why not be a bit curious and see if the dude is ok? just nodge him a bit and ask if he is ok or if he needs medical help, then take 5 mins to call 911 while ur strolling down the street.

Are you just arguing for the sake to try and make all people bad?
I pass countless hobo's/homeless/crazy people sleeping in San Francisco every time I go up there. Do you REALLY think that I/everyone else should poke them with a stick and see what's up?

i think those public cameras that everyone soo hates invading their privacy look like a good idea. Wouldnt have stopped this, but people knowing full well that they could be scene may help reduce the chances. A typical tv viewer can get ideas of what they can get away with as far as crime goes.

I am gonna agree with Mel on this one.
If I passed a homeless looking dude passed out on the sidewalk, I probably wouldn't have thought much of it. But the guy that flipped him over and saw blood DEFINITELY should've done something at that point. Him just looking and moving on is honestly GROSS negligence.

The least you can do is call 911. Somebody probably did just that as the cops did arrive 1hr 20 mins later. 1hr 20 mins response time isn't unheard of. If you're not a medical professional, you really ought not try to move the guy. What should you do? Buy him a beer or read him something from the bible? The dumbass shaking the victim could have hurt him a lot more & be possibly be liable for criminal charges |

now i think about it, i think maybe people just don't want to deal with the legal system and that is the reason they choose to ignore it. maybe those guys are illegal immigrants, guys with criminal record, guys always busy...etc.
