2 year old ran over, ignored by 18 bystanders

This reminds me of a situation where people were "trained" to do something and couldn't respond properly to something out of that scope of familiarity. I was driving to the store and the alarm at a fire station went off. It's where the alarm indicates a fire truck was coming out of the garage doors but the doors were closed. I waited a few minutes but decided just go because no firetrucks were around.

When I came back after about 15 MINUTES, there were a line of cars waiting for the alarm to stop. After a few minutes, I walked up to the front car and said that the alarm might be broken. The front car moved and then everyone else started to go. That made me think about the nature of humans a little.

 

Not really. No one had to say it

 

I live with Asian people and Im about to ask them if this is the ***t they do or see in China.

 

I just watched the whole video and I am even more upset! The girl was ran over TWICE!!! I hope she pulls through, if there's anything good that's left out of this is that she is alive and perhaps has a chance.

 

So... In Communist China, car drives over you?

 

Saw this earlier, bastards had to put in that sad music to make it worse...

 

I read on reddit she had died

I concur

 

I understand what foxhuyi is saying, sadly.

there was another article where someone in US got stabbed at a ATM and he bled to death as many many witnesses walked by. In the US.

Another testing if you will came from that video, because many people talk smack saying they would helped or did something but when actually confronted they do like others and walk on. This second test portrayed another 'accident' and again so many people walked on by.

 

That is so sad. It seems all people care about is themselves.

 

After reading about the background of Chinese law and how good samaritans can be held liable for bystander injury, I can now relate to how those people were able to walk by. I wouldn't want to lose my home and all my savings trying to play the hero. I guess, if anyone is to blame it is Chinese law and previous precedent.

 

Here's some more background for you:

The woman who called for help is given a $1750 award along with another $7500. The drivers are arrested.

I'd rather die a broke hero than a coward rich man.

 

That's part of it, but it's not all to do with hassle or risk. It's well-documented that the more people are around, or the more public the place is, the more people simply assume someone else will take care of a problem.

wow. really? im infuriated. bystander effect? wtf, **** doesnt even make sense. people are so full of it. all they care for is me me me me and me.

 

Wait, but wouldn't he go to jail for for manslaughter though? And wouldn't hospital bills be determined by how injured she was? I honestly believe the guy just though he should kill the girl in order to not get caught. He's the type that makes me glad there's capital punishment(my own opinion, don't want to make it a D&D issue).

 

China doesn't have a monopoly on stupid ruling that discourages the Good Samaritan: http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=6498405&page=1. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Samaritan_law.

Someone should have called the police, though.
