Come now dude, you and I know, for a fact, that if some shit like this happened on our city block, even the local drug addicts will be running over to assist.

There are some places that are redeemable, but try not to crucify the planet because of one area.

Not gonna lie, I didn't watch the video, and I don't plan on it.

Honestly, Casualty made some pretty good points. I'm always saying "I hate when girls assume that ALL men are bad just because one hurt her." and he pretty much said the same, only on a much larger, more important scale. Just felt that needed to be pointed out. Because, I also do understand that there are plenty of shitbags out there to make one feel like everyone else might as well be too.

But, for the sake of this thread, this IS an infuriating topic. The topic has different cultural reflections elsewhere, and I don't think that makes anyone good or bad...well, I don't think I have the right to judge others for being different, at the least.

Personally? This is horrific. And would I have stopped? Most likely. I say this from experience in a VERY similar situation, also. But, would I knowingly stop? That's the thing. I don't think I would, nor would have most people. I think that it's more or less just this overpowering feeling that takes over, and the next thing you realize, you're on the other side of the situation, realizing you have done something VERY daring you wouldn't have pegged yourself capable of. (At least that's what has happened to me, and I am as certain as I can be that it would happen again.)

And just like everyone else here it seems, despite my actual thoughts and feelings(as expressed above) my first instant reaction was "fuck people, man." So, yeah, I can totally agree with people on the other side of Casualty's point feeling how they felt as well.

(middle sister syndrome, I'm now realizing. Always seeing both sides. Haha.)

I finally watched it, and I think what shocked me more was how unfazed I was by the people just walking by without doing anything. I think I'm getting old. I mean, I'm disappointed, sure...

All the same, hats off to that woman who DID stop, who DID pick up the child and pull her from the road, and who called attention to the situation, thereby the girl was taken to a hospital.

This comment was interesting, though:

It isn’t ignoring, it’s not daring. If one were to encounter a Nanjing judge, one would be screwed.

[Note: "Nanjing judge" refers to the infamous 2006 case of a man named Peng Yu who helped a woman to the hospital after she had fallen only to have the old woman accuse him of knocking her down. The Nanjing judge in that case ultimately ruled that common sense dictated that only the person who hit her would take her to the hospital, setting a precedent that continues only further discourages and reinforces many Chinese people's wariness to help others in similar situations.]

The city that went down in is the origin city of my friend. He swore in Canto when we brought it up again or something.

Kinda intense, she was a frickin ragdoll. Horrifying.

I've yet to have this disproven even once this year. Online or off.

You're free to interpret that as you like.

If I saw a two year old girl get hit by a van... yeah, I'd step up and help her instead of just walking past like nothing happened.

This disappoints me... but you guys are making broad, sweeping statements about humanity. Sure, there are some lunatics on the earth, and there are some really insensitive people. But let me ask you this. Would you step up if you saw that? I'm tired of people saying "I'D STEP UP AND GET MYSELF INVOLVED IN THIS MESS". If you've ever seen the show "What Would You Do?", then you'd know that a majority of people would rather not get involved with such situations.

What if the person in the van was a murderer? Surely the driver isn't a good person, no sane person would do that. I'd rather not get some random crazy-ass fucker to swear vengeance against me.

Perhaps I've ranted too much. I just dislike the people that say "Fuck the world. No one is good. THEY'RE OUT TO GET ME!"

Been a while since I've posted here.

Lots of bad news in General lately...

I heard about this earlier, disgusting. No denying that some people on this Earth don't deserve the little life that they have. I don't want to wish death upon anyone, but there is a special place for people like this when the time comes I'm sure.

I am not fucking joking here. This is serious shit. DO NOT WATCH if you can't feel you wont handle it. IM BEING SERIOUS HERE

The BBC reported this but was censored.

Fuck humanity. Nuke us off the face of this gay fucking earth.

That shit has me shocked

How in the hell can you run over a little girl. And you are in a busy street and just keep passing by the little girl? I mean seriously. Fucking ASSHOLES.
