A sad indicment of how society has become so deplorable.

A 78 year old man is knocked over whilst crossing a street and he is critically injured and lying unconcious in the road.

1) the car that hit him does not stop
2) other cars drive round him
3) passers by stand looking at him
4) no one goes to give assistance
5) no one calls an ambulance
6) man on scooters pulls away from the side of the road, driving round him and ignoring him

He is still lying in the road, cars are still driving around him and eventually a police car stops and calls for the ambulance.

A video clip of this has been released to the public to try and shock the society into feeling guilty for their actions.

When people were interviewed in the street about it, most did not give a damn, not my problem!

I am delieveratly not saying where this happened.

That is truly awful - probably got a good idea where this was though. But why didn't you add to your list the person who was VIDEOING all this??? What the hell?? - was he/she hoping to post it on YouTube or something????

It was captured on security cameras above the street. The police have issued it.

Silly me! I am no longer used to constant surveillance (apart from my neighbours lol) here - forgot about security cameras. But still, wouldn't have put it past someone to stand there recording it on their phone

It could be one of the reasons people did not approach him was fear of law suites. There have been a few cases of "Good Samaritans" being sued by those they tried to help. In the US people are warned not to touch or move a injured person. It would have been better if someone would have made a barricade around him to protect him from more injury from vehicles.

It is very sad to see the vehicles passing him by. I think the TV society we have has made use all like passive viewers instead of involved citizens.

First thing, why did the person not stop who hit him? I hope the police find him / her. If the man dies, it is murder. Nothing to do with TV society, it is to do with people not caring, only thinking about themselves. People drive round this man like he was a wounded animal, not a human being. Don't these people have a conscience? I hope they watch this film and it makes them sick of themselves.
