A 78-year-old man is tossed like a rag doll by a hit-and-run driver and lies motionless on a busy city street as car after car goes by. Pedestrians gawk but appear to do nothing. One driver stops briefly but then pulls back into traffic. A man on a scooter slowly circles the victim before zipping away.

The chilling scene -- captured on video by a streetlight surveillance camera -- has touched off a round of soul-searching in Hartford, with the capital city's biggest newspaper blaring "SO INHUMANE" on the front page and the police chief lamenting: "We no longer have a moral compass."

"We have no regard for each other," said Chief Daryl Roberts, who on Wednesday released the video in hopes of making an arrest in the accident that left Angel Arce Torres in critical condition.


Video
may be NWS, shows violence.

How could anyone completely ignore someone in this situation?

Re: This makes me sick
I try to keep a positive outlook and keep my faith in humanity, but shit like this just knocks it down another notch. One guy said something about how he felt uncomforatable because there was blood. WTF, if it was him that got hit by the car I'm sure he would appreciate some help, blood or not. I hope they use the video to charge every onlooker who just stood there with failure to be a good citizen, or something like that. I would line them all up, hit them with a car and just leave them there.

Re: This makes me sick
They showed the Vid on the news while I was at work. I too felt the same way. HOW the hell do these people live with themselves?

I do not care who it is, I would try to help.

I hope the media keeps it up and names the loser's that just gawked, or the clown that backed up. And the JA that was on the scooter!

Re: This makes me sick
Some sociologist once preformed an experiment where a bloody woman (acting) laid in a gutter on a busy street, to see how people would react.
Not surprisingly, many of the passersby whipped out their cell phones and took pictures before walking away.

Wish I could remember more details.

Re: This makes me sick
Seriously.... I wish every one of those people nothing but a good old car accident. No killing, just bones breaking, maybe it'll put things in perspective. Assholes.

I read an updated story that within a few minutes four 911 calls were placed. That's still fucked up though. All those people and only 4 thought to call anyone, not to mention the fact that no one attempted to help. Someone could have at least directed cars around him so he wouldn't be hit again.

I totally agreee with that statement. It's like our society has gone to hell and no one cares about any one any more, It's become a "me" society, not what can I do to assist you in this world. Never thought that I would live to see the day that people in need of help would be treated this way.
