Homeless Man left to die...

[2nd PLT]

They also might not have thought the wound was fatal.

Which of course makes it alright, I suppose? Given, this IS New York we're talking about here, world renowned for it's compassionate and selfless populace.

Additionally, If they did not believe the wound was fatal this is even MORE reason to get him emergency help. A non fatal wound will quickly develop into a fatal one if untreated.

there is NO excuse for this behavior. Although this behavior is a symptom of the type of society we live in that glorifies selfishness.

Actually, from the way this story sounds, it wasn't fatal. Serious, but it could have been treated.

[Panzerjaeger]

Uh huh so calling the police is no longer the responsibility of the public? Remind me not to depend on you if I get stabbed.

They thought /=/ They were not obligated to.

Learn how to read, please, it'll be easier on us all.

I'm not the one making excuses for people ignoring civic duty.

[Marcurix]

What, were you expecting humans, who are generally selfish bastards, to care about somebody else?

Humans in general are not selfish, just the individuals.

The bystander effect is a bitch, which is why i tend to not assume someone is going to do something in a trouble situation.

[Astralsideria]

I'm by no means an expert, but it seems to me that, were one to be stabbed, but not killed outright, one might stumble around for a while, and, when one eventually fell, one would land in such a way that one's wound (assuming it was in the front of the body) would be obscured from view without rolling the body over. As such, as has been said previously, it might seem to a passer-by that one was not dying but rather sleeping. Were this to be the case, a person could very easily be forgiven for not wanting to awaken a homeless person, as doing so could have dire consequences for one's health and well-being, if that homeless person had not had much sleep for days, and this was their first sleep for a very long time.

Except that isn't the case. I saw the video he fell down immediately upon being stabbed. People rolled him over and took pictures of him then walked on. It was almost 10 hours before someone gave a shit to call the Police to come scoop his dead corpse off the sidewalk.

Then I stand corrected.

This sort of thing happens every day in some countries. It's just a part of life.

That's your explanation? NY is "to diverse?" Oh, I get it. You're right-wing, so the big enemy is "multiculturalism." Meh.

Queens population is based around 50% immigrants
most probably come from a place where seeing someone on the streets could be normal, add that onto its Queens NY where I think there are a few homeless people around.... ignore the fact that said person was homeless

good job with the accusation your ignorance couldn't be further from understanding

[Zeetopolis]

What happened to the woman he was helping?

She probably went right back to not giving a damn.

You insult her. She probably ran away as fast as she could. Excuse me, who wouldn't after being attacked?

US 'good Samaritan' left to die
A homeless man in New York City who was stabbed after coming to a woman's aid was left to die while passers-by ignored him, CCTV footage has shown.

Police said that at least 25 people walked past Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax as he bled to death on a pavement in Queens.

The 31-year-old from Guatemala was repeatedly stabbed by a man as he intervened during the attack last week.

The footage shows it was an hour and a half before somebody tried to rouse him and contacted the emergency services.

In the security camera video, a woman is followed by a man, who then appears to attack her.

Mr Tale-Yax walks toward them. Off-camera he is stabbed several times while trying to help the woman.

The camera captures the apparent attacker running away.

Mr Tale-Yax gives chase but collapses. He is seen lying in the street fatally wounded, as several people walk past him.

Relatives of Mr Tale-Yax said he had recently lost his job and his home.

This just makes me sad and lose faith in humanity.

This is terrible, I mean, this involves life. And people just don't care.

Homeless and bleeding to death. People noticed this. They did not bother to help at all.

Immigration has nothing to do with this. At all.

good job with the accusation your ignorance couldn't be further from understanding

No, it seems I've correctly read your argument and understood it. You blame "diversity." A very typical right-wing talking point.

Ooh, yeah, I got played. He made an argument explicitly blaming "diversity," but because his NS has a canadian flag he's not against diversity at all.

Brilliant job. What's next, "Pull my finger?"

[Taranys]

Meh, typical New Yorkers.

[Eternal Yerushalayim]

Meh, typical New Yorkers.

As a reminder, NY doesn't vote Republican, so if anyone is going to say that NYers are uncompassionate, the dems are (I assume)the ones who get the most damage.

[Novus Niciae]

That was absolutely disgraceful behavior by the people who left that guy to die.

maybe thats why I said I am surprised no one tweeted it or posted it on facebook because how could they not see it

people that live in and around their own kind tend to help each other
those that don't look the same, act the same etc etc the same tend not to... thats a fact of life

as for the right wing comment, not everything is politics, sometimes things are common sense
like, there shouldn't have to be a law that says you have to report a crime if you see one, but there is (thanks to the left side maybe for detouring away from traditional values like "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.")

and once again having to correct the left wing?
I didn't say I was blaming diversity, its the PEOPLE that make a town diverse, I know I am gonna get flak for this one stepping from the right but I'm thinking its the people walking by the bleeding homeless at fault, and not the right wing big brother camera's watching over head...........but then there is a good point why could use more.

@ Phenia , treat the Doc well, we haven't been the same since

We knew it when they allowed abortion and some allowed "mercy killing", which doesn't sound very pleasant to me because you would be a bad example by asking oters to give up before their time is up.

[Phenia]

Bullshit.

those that don't look the same, act the same etc etc the same tend not to... thats a fact of life

More bullshit.

You know, repeating your earlier claims and saying it's a "fact" doesn't really make a compelling argument. Am I conversing with a human being, or a broken record?

as for the right wing comment, not everything is politics, sometimes things are common sense

And some things tend to be found on the right, and some things tend to be found on the left. Your using this incident in order to gavel your bullshit anti-'diversity' or anti-'multiculturalism' gavel clearly identifies you in the former.

like, there shouldn't have to be a law that says you have to report a crime if you see one, but there is (thanks to the left side maybe for detouring away from traditional values like "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.")

"Traditional values." Yeah, you're not a right-winger at all!

Please. Drop the act. If you can't even admit your own position why the fuck should anyone else listen to it?

and once again having to correct the left wing?
I didn't say I was blaming diversity, its the PEOPLE that make a town diverse

Uh, you said:

perfect example of a town being to diverse

So you're wrong even about what you JUST SAID. How sad.

, I know I am gonna get flak for this one stepping from the right but I'm thinking its the people walking by the bleeding homeless at fault, and not the right wing big brother camera's watching over head...........but then there is a good point why could use more.

Yes, it's the people walking by doing nothing who were at fault. Not "too much diversity" as your bullshit claim would have us believe. QED.

@ Phenia , treat the Doc well, we haven't been the same since

I suspect you're trying to communicate something coherently, but sadly you are completely failing here and I have no idea what the fuck you're on about now.

[S23Nation]

you can't understand it takes PEOPLE (the problem) to make a place diverse
its called cause and effect, not right left wing politics

I can't be bothered to explain anything more to you since you seem to be off your meds or that time of the month
feel free to (anyone for that matter) have me explain any part or in full, just don't an ass (left wing) about it.

the @ you comment was actually
