25 people walk by dying Good Samaritan

Apparantly there's no excuse for stupidity.

That kinda just reminded me of the first episode of Gantz...

...

Yep. Bystander effect it is.

I still remember back in college in Psychology class where we spent a week intensely discussing and debating about this one.

But it still bothered me that there was that guy who went to the dying guy on the sidewalk, checked him out, lifted him by the shoulder, and then walked away... what the? One even took a camera shot at the poor guy. I don't think those qualifies anymore in the bystander effect boundaries. Or maybe we're seeing a more evolved, modern form of bystander effect that should have a few psychologists updating their books about it.

I'm surprised nobody tried to rob him.

I don't think he had much on him to steal since he was homeless.

Bystanders didn't know. For all they know he was some random drunk motherfucker.

I was being sarcastic.

So was I.

That's really messed up a lot. I heard about the guy getting hit and watched the video. It was just sad all those people not one person got out there cellphone and phoned in. And now this one with the guy getting stabbed, The dude taking the picture on his cellphone and walking off is a sicko. But now That I heard about this "Bystander Effect" it just sicking that people only think about themselves thinking someone else will call out instead of them. I also think that Bystander Effect happen here in Tx, Couple days a go a women was killed by her husband with a chainsaw in front of her own house. The neighbor said police never been in that part of the neighborhood till that day. So I was thinking no one heard her screaming or wondering why a chainsaw as going off in the middle of the night? Someone had to at least hear it.

I saw that on the news, and watching that footage made me sick. It was to the point where someone walked up to him to snap a picture of his dying agony. Another tragedy to chalk up on my personal board.

Shit like pisses me off. Now you know why people are more reluctant to help others.

This is why you shouldn't live in the city.

Sometimes, people feel they have a reason to fear helping; whether it's legitimate or not can put you at risk for misunderstanding. Then again, those morons should at least call 911. Alas, humanity is not as wise as we take it for.



Are you suggesting the country life is any better? With any neighbor 50 miles away from you where they can't hear you scream "rape"?

It's not anyone's responsibility to help anyone else. It sounds cruel but it's true.

I actually got upset about this and ranted to my mother. I'm a lifeguard, and it's my job to help people. I am so sickened by this shit. Twenty-five buckets of dicks. They aren't people. What the fuck was going through their heads? Even if there is a "Bystander Effect", every on of the people who walked my the camera were alone. There was one person at a time, so the "Effect" is null and void. Also meaning that everyone of those people should experience the same thing: people walking by while they are dying with no one helping them.

What the fuck is wrong with humanity?

I hope Karma comes back and bites them in the ass shoots them in the head.

Yeah but they'd come rushing with shotguns if they do hear you scream.

this is why i hate people. This people should be shot... and see if anyone would help them >.>

It's New York City. Homeless dude lying on the street? You see that crap on large cities all the time. It was probably nothing new to most of those people.

The dude who took a picture is a moron though.



I agree.

City suburbs are awesome places to live in.

well i think, what if it happen to them, what not one guy could call an ambulance, i mean no homeless guy lays in the middle of the sidewalk, bleeding
