Hard to believe, though ... you'd think someone would at least stop and scream for someone else to come help. The other thing that bothered me was the guy that said they left him there "like a dog." I would hope people wouldn't leave a dog dying on the side of the road, either.  |
I know what you mean Bodhi, but I'm not willing to concede. There was not one person who came to his aid until the police arrived on the scene. I can see where some people might not be willing or able to face what happened for the aforementioned reason. But for no one to help, I don't know, I think it is a sign. I've seen enough people rush to stranger's aid to know that not everyone will turn a blind eye.
Also if there hadn't been a number of unsolved murders in the city with plenty of witnesses who also didn't see a thing, I'd be more willing to accept that as an isolated incident.
