Every single person who saw this happen and did nothing.
Are we as a society really here already? If so, that's really fucking depressing.
A disturbing surveillance video showing an elderly man getting hit by a car and then being ignored by bystanders has shocked — and shamed — many in Hartford, Conn.
Angel Arce Torres, 78, was trying to cross the street when a Honda plowed into him, sending him flying and leaving him lying crumpled and bleeding in the middle of the street. The driver of the car did not stop; but, even more disturbingly, passing cars and people on the sidewalk nearby did nothing to help Torres.As Torres lay in the street, nine cars passed him without stopping. More than 40 seconds went by before anyone even stepped off the sidewalk to get a closer look. But no one went over to Torres' body to try to help or even divert traffic.
Finally, after about a minute and a half, a police car responding to a different call happened upon the scene and an ambulance was called.
The accident occurred last Friday, but Hartford's police chief released the traffic surveillance video on Wednesday, hoping to get information on the hit-and-run driver and make an arrest.
Chief Daryl Roberts also expressed outrage in a news conference Wednesday, saying "we no longer have a moral compass."

WTH?! I don't know why... I have heard of stories like this here, and it pisses me off. But even more disturbing, is that those very same idiots would have been crying out in anger had THEY been sitting at home watching it on TV too.
We all would like to think we would HELP, I know I would. I think I would, I almost get punched out for telling punks a the trains to leave a bum alone...
Sick and sad. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Thanks for this article, really useful piece of writing.
