# i know!

makes you wonder about the future of humanity

# Really?
While it was a depressing story, surely failing to help someone is nowhere near as bad as actively seeking to hurt someone?

# yeah, i think so
on many levels this is more depressing.
i believe this is a reflection on behaviour as a society as opposed to the craziness of an individual. that and the fact that it was tiny baby

# I read that it was something to do with the legal system there
where in some cases the rescuers/good samaritans end up carrying the responsibility, so people are afraid to help out

fucking terrible :(

# I think what's surprising / depressing is the amount of apathy on show.
I mean, if you saw a kid getting run over, wouldn't your automatic reaction to be to help in some way?

# chinaland?
someone did help in some traffic accident.

ended up getting sued.


guess folk don't want the same expected experience.

edit: not just chinaland it seems

# Really?! That's pretty fucked up.
I think the point I'm trying to make is that it's sort of instinctive. At least I'm pretty sure I'd do it without thinking about whether some fuck is going to hit me with a lawsuit.

If it was Brian Harvey running himself over, that'd be a different story.

# Was the same when I lived in Thailand.
Foreigners stopping to help at accidents getting blamed and billed for hospital fees when they had absolutely nothing to do with it.

# though I did read about some guy in india who hit a local with his car
the police were more concerned with beating the local than offending the foreigner by prosecuting him in any way

but I think there may have been caste issues at work there.

In the end the foreigner just gave the local guy some money, he wasn't forced to or anything.

Though yeah, in some places "ALL FARANG = RICH, BLEED DRY, SUCCESS"

# Yeah saw the video the first van driver not only knocked the 2 year old girl down but actually stopped then
drove over her a second time with the back wheels a second van seeing the girl in the road made no attempt to avoid her and simply just ran her over - the girl recently died of her injuries WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD!!

# in spain, many years ago
my mum was waiting to cross a busy road. a small child of about 2 sliped out of his mother's grasp and ran into the road. he was hit by a motorbike, which didn't stop. the poor child's body was dragged for at least 500 yards before something gave way and dropped him to the ground. 2 weeks we were there, it never even made the local papers.
