  • we watched this in criminal justice class today. we were talking about the bystander effect. That many people walked by and it took that long for someone to do something

  • the bystander effect at work

  • this sucks. did he die?

  • @renegade1003 yes unforutantly

    he was parlyzed for a little while then later died

    rip Angel Arce Torres

  • someone hit my son today in front of his school & took off...hit & run! I live in Cleveland...IT happens EVERYWHERE!! So I went up there to play detective & the woman & the green mini van were no where to be found...I'll catch her. Sick people these days! NO MORALS!

  • The car bit was shocking but the most shocking part was the attitude of the standers-by.

    Fucking hell, are Americans really like this? Seriously?

  • @Gary190tube No actually, a lot of cultures are like this. They can't think on their feet and follow others. There are more followers than active leaders in the human race.

  • @DXSUCKIT1990 Yes I agree. My experience of Americans is fortunately a lot better than the dumbfucks shown in this video. These idiots seem to be everywhere now, no sense of initiative or urgency except "gotta film this on my mobile, this'll improve my popularity on facebook".

  • It's a human fucking being, not road kill people. Help!

  • what the fuck was he doing in the middle of that road? Thats his own fault. driver tried to evade him. If that was me hitting him theres no way id stop. The government would make sure my damn insurance for my car went up 3x higher. Fuck that. If the government wernt so greedy then yea i would of stopped and seen if he was ok

  • @EmbrunFalcon91 Your fucking mentally ill right? You must be. The car crossed a FUCKING DOUBLE SOLID to pas another card you dipshit cunt. You deserve all of this slander becuase I have never seen this big of a dolt in my life!!!

  • @DXSUCKIT1990 Oops guess your right ya nigger. I didint notice the double line and the cars passing the other one

  • I feel really bad for this guy & I hope he's alive & well. But, what gets me is how many people are saying that everyone else is stupid for not helping. Lets see: The car was going super fast, so there's no way anyone could get the license plate. Someone who saw could have been shocked, & not everyone is automatically going to whip out a cell phone at that exact second. It only took the cops a 1:58 to get there so obviously someone called. & i dont think anyone is supposed to move him neways

  • what the fuck? call yourself a civilisized nation! you mo fo's just walk on by and not help this poor guy! Shame on you Americans Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Can't believe how many people just drove by and even worse, people who walked across the road about 5 feet from him! "Oh look, a man's laying in the road dying. I guess I should stop and help...hmm, on second thought no one else is, so that wouldn't look cool." walks off. Disgusting and pathetic.

  • **guy walks by** Ooh look that guy got hit by a car **keeps walking**

  • what the fuck is wrong with the world....HELP THE GUY.. get the licence plate..something anything fuck

  • The guy who first went up to him took photos.....

  • did he die????

  • man those people watching are idiots.. durrrrr

  • yeah people shoulda helped him out

  • Useless spectators are not a product of modern American society. It's always been our nature.

    What discourages me is how much effort society puts into raising global "consciousness", and yet how this video easily rips peoples' slogan T-shirts off to show their buck-nakedness: that most of their trendy affirmations of "compassion" and "awareness" have no effect on their own behavior.

    These people were totally conscious.  What good is consciousness when there's no change in behavior?

  • So nice of everyone to come to his aid so quickly WTF

  • Remember one thing about this, looking both ways doesn't always help. If this guy couldn't just go to a damn crosswalk rather than J-Walking he wouldn't be in that situation in the first place.

  • @cloud10k I agree that the man could have prevented his own headache. J-walkers drive me crazy. But J-walking shouldn't be a capital offense, you know what I'm saying?

  • Remember one thing about this, looking both ways doesnt always help. If this guy couldn't just go to a damn crosswalk rather than J-Walking he would'nt be in that situation in the first place.

  • @cloud10k But those cars were driving on the wrong side of the road! It's like they went out of their way to hit him! HELLO!! They should have stayed on the right side of the road. Durr.

  • this was on msnbc today and they needed you to be 18,shit all you had to do was watch the news

  • Why the hell didn't somebody help him, fat idiots just watching him die slowly! People can't make their own damn decisions anymore, other people have to think for them, what the hell is happening?!

  • I agree with Gotricebitch01, it's too bad i live among them. =_= -The streets are dangerous and the people around here are too. They help themselves and if you show them your worth or money then they will show you there help. -Life is as cold as time itself. Moving on..

  • this video makes my blood boil, i can't understand how bystanders can just stand there like a selfish pack of fucking retards and watch the poor man dying like its some kind of show, as if he's there only for their viewing pleasure, i'm so gratefull i don't belong to such a community inhabited by careless, selfish, dimwitted pigs, seriously i wouldn't even call that a community.

  • lots of liberals in Connecticut.. a victim can't help a victim see..

  • @djbro16 you are a useless little bitch

  • @djbro16 When you hit somebody with your car..... no matter what you are doing or where you are going, you need to stop and help them, ....

  • HAHA!!!! Only in America...

  • OMG, look at how everyone just stands around or drives off. What is wrong with them?

  • this is why we can see that park street is full of shyt..go there with crack cocaine and naked girls everyone moves to get it...but this man got hit and no one did a nhing...right now he passed away and no one knows the drivers but the drivers are always chilling in park street..people now just care about getting high...its why the world is so fkd up...humiliates me.god bless his fam..i knew them

  • Are people really that ignorant where they wouldn't stop and call 911? WTF? Makes me sick.

  • People are just walking by. Nobody cares.

  • Really. everyone who walked by is worse than the driver. At least he had a selfish reason to jet out. Just another example of why the NE sucks.

  • Wow. Great to see everyone so eager to help. I'm surprised these upstanding citizens didn't rob him while he was lying there.

  • damn the car that hit him was speeding like DAMN!!

  • Wasn't he J walking anyway?

  • are you serious?

  • Yea but it's sad how no body really wanted to help him at first...

  • GOD bless me

    don't live there!

  • i want to know why those cars were driving in the wrong lane in the first place

  • what the fuck are wrong with these people

  • what country is this?

  • North America

  • that isn't even a country!

  • @nopimpingoutaboat

    very fail.

    The country is America by the way.

  • actually america it's a continent

  • wow and you call nopimpgoutaboat fail he was actually closer than you. the country is United States of America.

  • You are just trying to argue semantics with me (and you obviously aren't qualified). How is naming a continent closer than naming the abbreviated version of the country? And what other country would I be talking about? Bah fuck off idiot and take your nit picky bullshit with you. It doesn't make you look smart, it just makes you look like an asshole.

  • HA! aren't you the one who started this in the first place? and you call me an asshole. and USA or simply US is actually the abbreviated form, not america. as you may not know america is a continent. so yeah i guess im an idiot and you're a genius.

  • Again, what the hell else would I be talking about do you think? Either you are really clueless, or just acting like it to be a dick. How many times have you heard the president of America call it that? And yes, actually, America is the shortened version of the United States of America. Look at the word itself, "United States" meaning a number of states unified under one flag. And "of America" meaning under the American flag. Wow I love when dipshits like you try to look smart on the internet.

  • im not being smart. just being an asshole to another asshole. next time before you call someone else fail, check whether you're a fail yourself.

  • You are still just as wrong as you were the first comment you tried to post on this video. America is a country, that's it. No matter what you say, you cannot convince me that America is not a country. North America is clearly a continent, and America is clearly a country. And for the 3rd time I'll ask, what other country would I have been talking about?

  • man it's fun pissing off ppl like you. btw i didn't try to post the 1st comment, i actually posted it.

  • @Cheesymcnoodle it's a fucking federation, not a country! Americans are not americans, the natives are! You are a bad combination ;)

  • first of all .ya ignorant people whos maken this situation a joke need to stop .this poor man had a family and kids he enjoying the weather minding his own . and here comes these selfish people maken dumb decions not think about other people lives .and then to not even stop to help him they just keep going .heartless bastards !these dum ass people wait 5 fucken minutes to help him . how would ya feel if it happend to u or ur father or ur grand father.wouldnt feel to good know would it .

  • ohhh yeah i forgot this is the greatest country in the world with a plague of 300,000,000+ people of course some of us good samaritans & people but,the rest are a bunch of worms inside a dislocated mind & a black heart were they think they have the right and power to make suffer and how good they feel when they enjoy seen the other suffer. Greatest country my ass

  • LMAO, ever heard of 'DONT CROSS THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE' this guy is pretty dumeb for going on out there in the first place, but those cars were in the wrong place to. Funny how he just lays there forever... people walk by like nothing happened. LOL

  • Lets see watch the video and see him look both ways. You are pretty immature to say that and laugh about it. It wouldn't be funny if it was u laying there not would it No. What if it wasyour family member either way grow up. He is laying there like that because he is paralyzed

  • u imature idiot..he was 72 yrs old could have been your daddy...and he was placed in life support where he later died..how we know you were not the driver bitch!!! fuck you and hope this never happens to you..start to pray

  • Doesn't look like an accident. At all. People noticed that.

    How eager would YOU be to DEMONSTRATIVELY stick yourself straight into a gang vengence situation?

    People, although being shocked, did what they could. 4 People did call the ambulance within the first minute.

    Runing up to him and moving him would've been a BAD thing to do.

    Stopping the car and making a traffic jam, preventing the ambulance from reaching, would've been a BAD thing to do.

  • I would like to know what the fuck the car that hit him was doing on the wrong side of the street in the first place?

  • hey stupid ,if u look closely the 2 cars are racing and on the wrong side of the road u know the 2 lines in the middle of the road this is wat it is for

  • No wonder europeans think that americans (usa) are stupid. Just look at this video, it explains everything, a man has been hit by a car and no one cares. I hope that everyone on this video had an accident and could expierience the lack of help.

    Stupid , shit for brains people !!

  • As far as i know, is this a murder? coz i realize that they hit him on purpose...see why those two car on the wrong line?

    Btw.. WTF?!! did they always do this when someone get hurt ?

  • yeah. that's really fucking funny. good joke.

  • Second, I was disgusted at how many people just drove by and didn't stop to check him. Unless his head is severed or crushed, he might need help!

    I think America has a real problem with being a society of spectators; we grow up watching other people in action (mostly fake action), but we're not used to the idea of thinking on our feet.

  • First off, why wouldn't one of those motorists behind the hit-and-run driver follow him and call 911 on their cell phone?

    If crime dramas and rescue programs have always been big draws on TV, how come people can't think to do the obvious?

  • HEY!!! Stick to the damn topic people! You can bicker at each other by sending messages privately instead of wasting space for everyone to see!

  • wtf they just watching? jesus christ knob heads call ambulance!

  • You continue to make statements that are irrelevent to the topic at hand. I don't go to Tim Hortons, I don't watch hockey, and I don't drink. I speak with a more extensive vocabulary than you and I articulate my thoughts and opinions wisely; whereas, you reply to my comments assuming you can use stereotypes as leverage in an "argument" that is in no way associated with Canadian culture. This conversation is over, because it seems to me that you are in fact the one being childish.

  • I also find it funny how you continue to evade my points about your countries current situation simply by retorting, "We are free and successful and you're country is jealous." Yeah, way to prove your side of the argument Einstein. You sound like those "popular sluts" in highschool that claim everyone else is just jealous of them because they have more money, when in reality nobody is jealous of you at all. It's just that you're too proud to swallow your own ego and recognize that you're a fool.

  • Nobody is targeting your country because your "free and successful." If terrorists are targeting your country it's because you pissed them off by invading their country(s) for no reason other than to enhance your own personal gain. Last time I checked, a country in which the economical structure is rapidly deteriorating is not "successful." It only show's your governements failure to maintain it's independance. My country is in the same situation, but I'm not claiming to be better than you. Ass.

  • "sorry we succeeded and you didn't"

    You realize your country is a recession right?

    You understand that your country has no money?

    That's why they're at war with other countries in order to leach off their natural resources.

    Wake up moron, your country is in no better postition than mine or many others.

    Your economy is crumbling so perhaps you should take your pride and shove it up your arrogant cracker ass.

  • Have you actually looked at the situation your country is in right now? I'm not jealous of your country. I'm sure many other Canadians fele the same way, and probably the majority of the world. I'm not about to get into a debate with you about who's country is better and why. As I previously stated, I don't judge an entire country on the actions of certain individuals. So you go ahead and keep telling yourself that everyone is jealous of your country. Your'e actin' like a highschool girl.

  • Well I'm Canadian and I don't make comments about Americans being idiots in general. A lot of Americans are stupid, but so are a lot of Canadians, so are a lot of any people from any country. For you to claim "Canadians" are jealous of the states is plain ignorance. IF in fact some Canadians are "jealous" of the states (can't see why) that doesn't mean Canadians in general envy your country. Fuckwit. People are individuals, you can't judge a whole country on individual opinions.

  • You guys are all retarded WORLD Citizens... Shut up!

  • Cazzo ma lo hanno lasciato li...bella civiltà quella americana!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • fuck you italiano figlio di spiaggia!

  • Allora avevo ragione....0 civiltà...

  • Why is he walking in the middle of traffic?

  • 1. its sad no one stopped to help him

    2. what was this guy thinking, how do you not see oncoming traffic, and just walk right in front of it.

  • see if you stop to help someone like in this situation you can get sued by them only help you can do is to dial 911 ! i was just listening to story some guy rescued woman and she sued him because when he did he hurt her but bitch forgot that her car was on fire and guy saved her life instead of thanking him she sued her !

  • ko12864, thats what I thought at first, but if you notice, there was a vehicle slowing down, so the other 2 cars swerved into the wrong lane, where he was hit. Keep watching and you can see the vehicle parking and yet another car swerving around, but not have to come all the way into the other lane. Everyone is in too big of a hurry these days for no reason other than to be in a hurry to get nowhere.

  • after viewing this video, i don't think so!

    and your need to compare USA to Italy also in a video that doesn't concern at all my country, has only two meaning:

    -you have an hidden complex of inferiority;

    -you feel so ashamed for your country, because of this video, that you need to shift the attention of people on another argument.

  • connecticut isn't in Italy, stupid american!

  • hahahahahaha dame conneticut people are so stupid their just looking i mean dont touch him but let ather cars know something before hi gets runnover again

  • Wow CT seems like a nice place, see all the people check to see if he was ok. Dam iam planning my next vacation

  • that dummb nikka should have wacth were da fuck he was goin..lol...shit i would have done that they would have arrested me for j-walkin

  • those who didn't stop to check on this guy will be the one who is in need of help and want get it. How do you people sleep at night. UNREAL!!!!

  • agreed that an injured person shouldn't be moved lest he gets paralyzed, but a protective area should've been created at least by the people/cars that witnessed, especially the slow-driving mope (who ended up leaving after pulling over, watch him) that caused the two first cars to pass him in the 1st place. in vancouver there's a strip of w. broadway where fgts don't even bother pulling right to pick ppl up, they just stop in the middle lane, then get mad when ppl honk/nearly hit them. hate em!

  • dum shit nids to watch were he is goin dick head lmfao though that was funny as fuck

  • Unless you're a trained medical professional you should not attempt to "help" someone who has been injured in this manner. Moving them could harm them further or possibly paralyze them. The witnesses obviously called for help, which is what you should do.

  • damn but couldn't they just stay by him or something.... i know u shouldn't touch an injured person for the reasons u stated but they just left him in the middle of the street.... how about if someone else would've ran over him?

  • wtf, how cum no 1 helps him

  • peopel are so fuckin stupid these day..

    they see him laying on the ground and they dont fuckin help.

  • you'd be owned too if that happened to you, moron.

  • WTF no one goes to help him for like a whole minute they just stand there and stare

  • street racers

  • In my opinion, they are two people at fault. The pedestrian shouldn't be assuming no one will run him over. He was walking like he was king. The driver of the car should have help him out. He look badly injured! Its up to u to see who was more at fault.

  • My WAG is that no one wanted to touch him for fear of injuring him further..perhaps paralyzing him accidently. Americans will sue you at the drop of a hat, for anything. I'm sure many folks called 911 on the cell's though. See how fast the cop showed up?

  • i live in ct and the people around here are idiots that just stare, when my bro worked in the deli an old woman collapse and everyone just ignored her in the store and he had to call 911, they just continue on with thier lives

  • It is a felony to flee from the scene of an accident. hitting the man was not the crime, it was leaving the scene that was.

  • No one helps him?

    Which is a country where lives that kind of shit peaple?

  • holy shit no1 helps him out dumb fkin americans

  • I live in Hartford and wow i would be pissed but he shouldnt be jay walking

  • The guy is jaywalking and total disregard for the concern of drivers that might hit him and cause serious bodily harm or death and have to live with it for the rest of their lives. The person that hit him was most likely scared and drove away in fear, Definitely not malicious. T

  • Hitting him was not malicious, but driving off was. Stopping to help should be a basic human instinct, but too many people care more about their own convenience than someone else's life...

  • what the hell.... i watched the video a bit ago and now its gone.......

  • he toke it like a man

  • woow! if that was my girl friend fox...(non of your buisness) I would cry till I die! :(

  • umm help him? wtf? it's like they were gonna poke him with a stick or something... i dunno rush over and maybe alert the traffic nearby that theres a man lying in the middle of the road... maybe check for a pulse

  • first off he shouldve not been j walking so damn slow...

    it look like those that one car was chasing the first one

  • They are NOT idiots... it's called Human Nature.

  • Right... being selfish... same thing...

  • this just makes CT look worse than it already is.

  • look at the cars driving by and those people just looking ... what the fuck is wrong with these idiots !!!??

  • It was a fucking police officer. No one helped him? What a bunch of fucking twats!

    All just stand there looking at him.

  • no one helped him which is dumb. Poor guy laid their and people just watched him.

  • Geez help the dude people

  • Pwnt.

    Everyone just looked at him like, "Are you dead? Should we poke him with a stick?"

  • Goddamn, all those people just sat there and watched him lay on the pavement. WTF? Help him! As for the guy that hit him and ran, I hope he gets caught then ass raped in prison for this shit. What a fucking coward.

  • those cop cams are weak. theyre are supposed to be able to zoom and see the licnese plates. shame.

  • ill do de same shyt. but damn feel sorry 4 the guy

  • Poor fellow

  • ahhh did i make you upset? I'm oh so so sorry. how will you find it in your pure heart to forgive me of such a travesty.

  • powerlazypower5, your a fucking asshole if that was u or someone in ur family that got hit and someone said what u said, ud want to kill them, and i cant belive that all the people on the street just stood there and watched

  • noone seen that shit WTF get INVOLVED GOSH

    DAMNIT!!! heartless assholes

  • WTF!!! What kind of people are these that just walk by or stare on. No one went to help this guy. Remind me if I ever become supreme dictator of the USA, I will have Hartford removed like a wart. I will waste the whole city. Oh excuse me, it's already wasted.

  • haha teaches him to cross a busy street

  • that town is filled with horrible poeple, im surprised some asshole didnt run up and take his wallet.

  • the surrounding people are a bunch of assholes. i don't live to far away from hartford and the people are dicks there.

  • well, you cant expect the niggers to help. They're all a bunch of savages

  • if your from south africa which makes u african are'nt you a black?

  • Just because you're from South Africa doesn't mean their black you fucking idiot.

  • There was a dispute about why the surrounding crown didnt help this elderly man. There was a certain culture that forbid them from helping the man on the ground was caucasion.

  • What the fuck is wrong in this Nation, Here in Australia there would be like 50 people around that person straight away ~~ weird.

  • Traitors! to your own wounded all of you should see this clip in your heads for years. But you will forever.

  • Why no one run´s to him immediately??? Thats so goddamn weird i dont get it. In Finland there would be ten people helping him on that second and another ten chasing the driver. btw sorry bout my english

  • ladies and gents, i would like to welcome you all to the WONDERFUL country of america, where theres no justice, nobody cares and anything goes! how do ya like it here?

  • Your city is a piece of shit. I heard that after that almost one hundred people suffered eye strain for intentionally looking the other way. Shame on the drivers and the other "by-standarounders"

  • Thats Gta 4 shit right there

  • Wow great police response it looks like the female at :30 went into the store and told to call police. It looks like the two drivers possible car jacked or no lic/insuance know each other. I don't get it I am from Canada with a population of 100,000 everyone would help if they witnessed it. Then again we here don't have car jacks either.

  • I don't get the bystander's lack of response either. Despicable.

  • One of the problems today is people are affraid to help because criminals use all kinds of tactics. However, a few things really bother me here, 1st the driver who hit him didnt even slow down. 2nd the car that was passed pulled over at 1st to the side but then drove off.3rd the car coming up the street after actually turned around so they didnt have to wait or get involved. 4th A lot of people saw it happen that were on the side walk and it takes a long time for anyone to even go to him & ...

  • 5th It really is dangerous to cross the street in a cross walk never mind where you arent supposed to cross. People laugh at the jay walking thing, but I bet this guy and his family will never laugh at it again.

    I wonder if they ever caught the person who did it

  • Next time cross at the corner like you are supposed to.

  • The fact that people were just going about their business, makes me want to fucking puke! What a city full of assholes!

  • Damn Bystander Phenomenon. That is absolutely horrible. Who the fuck is the dumbass driver that hit the guy in broad daylight... dude was driving relatively slow, too. I hope that guy gets caught or gets hit by a car.

  • I HONEST TO GOD CANNOT BELEAVE HOW MANY PEOPLE JUST LOOKED AT HIM AND CARRIED ON ABOUT THEIR BUISSNESS, IF YOU READ MY MESSAGE AND KNOW THAT YOUR 1 OF THOSE IDIOTS WHO JUST CARRIED ON ABOUT YOUR BUISSNESS, I HOPE YOU KIDS GET RUN OVER, AND PEOPLE IGNORE THE ACCIDENT!!

    Silver.

  • dat niggah died?

    r.i.p?

  • very clever people,

    just let the man die there and you carry on with your important shopping,

    FFS whats this world coming to ?

  • Unbelievable isnt it.

    Look at all the cars just driving past and around him!!

    Problem is alot of people wont help because they either cant be bothered or if they arnt going to gat something out of it they dont give a shit.

    Like you said what is this world coming to?

    Its bad enough now, can you imagine it in 30 years?

  • Well i wander about the surround people WTF were the thinking. Someone was hit by a car. and the are like watching a movie and doing nothing. i feel so sorry

  • its the man's fault.. how could he wander on the road like that ?? he didnt even move n he had to see the coming cars..

  • the ped only looked left. 2 cars drove on the wrong side of the street to pass the slow poke. It happens in California all the time. Look left, and the right as soon as you step off the curb!

  • The two cars that came were driving on the wrong side of the road, because the car that hit him was chasing the car in front of them. That's obvious if you watch the video again. It's not the man's fault.

  • its not ONLY the man' fault to be corre
