PlusSurveillance Video Captures Graphic Hit-and-RunSurveillance Video Captures Graphic Hit-and-RunThe Associated PressHartford police released a surveillance video that shows a 78-year-old man, who was struck by a car, lying motionless on a busy city street as pedestrians gawk but do nothing. (June 5)Outrage that a driver fled after hitting a 78-year-old man... And that no one did anything to help the elderly victim as he lied motionless on a city street. Police just released this surveillance video in hopes of generating new leads. It shows Angel Torres walking in the street after buying milk at a local grocery store. Seconds later, he's struck by a dark Honda that was chasing a tan Toyota. Both cars darted down a side street as Torres crumples onto the road. The minute-long video then shows several cars passing Torres as a few people stare from the sidewalk. Some approached the victim but most stayed put until an officer responding to an unrelated call arrives on the scene. The victim remains in critical condition in Hartford Hospital. Authorities say he's paralyzed. Police say the hit-and-run is the latest in a string of incidents that show the callousness of Connecticut's capital, a city of 125-thousand. ___ ___, The Associated Press.

i would say paralyzation is a bit of a steep price for jaywalking. humanity makes me fucking sick.



[habanerat]

I don't see any milk in his hands. Just saying.

[Misfit559]

That's why they invented crossing lights

[wildchild77L]

discussting ! any way yu look at it and the discussting people passing by and not one person reached out to help this man... talk about a town frm hell ! how inhumane can yu get.

[sirazzatron]

Question and answers pretty simple, use a fucking pedestrian crossing like his Mother tought him 73 years ago....

[TOPBOSSCHRIS]

[Madizzle90]

Welcome to the Bystander Effect.

[MrDavidwarbeck]

@GunBroker100 yes, that would be my point thanks.

@MrDavidwarbeck Where do you see humanity here? What is on display is a glaring lack of humanity. From the morons driving the cars to the rubber neckers on the sidewalk. People, especially in the cities, just suck anymore. There all so self absorbed, that this guy was merely entertainment. I surprised some douche didn't run out and lift his wallet. A least around here people still give a damn, there would have been people helping him and calling 911 with a tag number immediately

This only happened because that town did not have any super heroes that resided there.

[midatlantic09]
