A look at the various cases in the U.S. and Canada where bystanders could have saved people but chose to look the other way.

  • it's a pity that we have to take the dream of seeing world peace to the grave with us...Humans are humans because they're capable of understanding universal moral ethics. But apparently our emotions are replaced by cruelty. how the FUCK can we hope for everything good when we pass somebody who's taking the last breaths and not do anything? or take a fucking picture for a human dying? you serious?

    God bless this man. I'm sure he's much safer wherever he is. This world is not the place for angels.

  • @xXHAL0Xx1 It's not just america, it is a human nature. It happens in every country and in every society.

  • Don't lump all americans in together! I've stopped fights between strangers and stopped and helped accident victims! Im not influenced by society in that way! Id like to think um not alone either!

  • And Americans calls there country "Home of the brave"? HAHA! They are certainly not worse then people from any other country since this is human nature, and could and has happened everywhere. But Americans has obviously got to realize that their population is just as big cowards as the rest of the WORLD!
