Kingsbridge Bus Posted April 25, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 25, 2010 Just because the guy is homeless, doesn't mean you can't help him, even if he was not a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted April 25, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 25, 2010 People just categorise all homeless people as "bums, hobos, druggies, etc...", so many regular folks rarely would cast an eye on them. But there are some homeless people that actually do have a kind heart, but because of this categorisation, they are ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just makes you wonder where are the police when these type of things go down policing in this city has deteriated greatly and it has nothing to do with the size of the force I honestly think the NYPD is attracting the wrong type of crowd as larry mendte would say the Dumb and the Dullest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many of the new ones are there for a check, and that is it. I would have though college credits would have gotten better mannered persons in there, but I guess along with the smart people, any dummy can pass college these days........... Reading the article, and about the one in 1964, that is some sad sh!t. It's an even bigger shame the woman who was being harassed by the knife yielding man, didn't call about the incident herself. There isn't that much shock in the world, unless there is more to the story, (like she knew the knife yielding man).......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messino Posted April 26, 2010 Share #13 Posted April 26, 2010 Why is this a big surprise? This is NYC we are talking about, people turning away instead of helping is common place here. Its been going on for decades.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(also when a wawa or dunkin donuts is nearby, they turn on their sirens and speed to get to it, even tho there is a kid that got hit by a car right next to them, yea i saw this first hand, and I could never forgive the cops for that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are broke down in your car on the side of the raod its their job to help you but they will just drive by as always.. Most people who are cops are useless in life to begin with. They arent very educated or capable of anything else so its either be a cop or a manual laboror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Glen Posted April 26, 2010 Share #20 Posted April 26, 2010 Just because the guy is homeless, doesn't mean you can't help him, even if he was not a hero. I'm not going to lie. I probably would've walked pass him. It's not because I'm a callous human being. I probably would've thought he was drunk (or high). This tragedy is a lesson for everyone.

GojiMet86 Posted April 26, 2010 Share #21 Posted April 26, 2010 Isn't this the phenomena where a person will just follow the group because of group pressure? It works like this: Someone in a group has been stabbed. However, once one person doesn't do anything, the others won't, and they'll leave the person to die. Kinda like social pressure.

DOB2RTO Posted April 26, 2010 Share #22 Posted April 26, 2010 Some psychologist was on Fox 5, talking about how people could do that. She did make a valid point, that due to the high number of homeless we do see on the streets in NYC, that people just assume that is what it is. From the video, you don't see any blood, and those who stopped, along with the guy who had shake him, most likely didn't see any blood, since he was lying on this stomach. So they possibly assumed he was a homeless on the street sleeping (even though they rarely do it in the middle of a sidewalk). If they seen blood, maybe they would have called. I would hope they would have in that case............ If they seen blood and didn't call, then what goes around does come around. It don't have to be them, it can be someone very dear to them, and they will regret they didn't act in this case.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted April 28, 2010 Share #23 Posted April 28, 2010 I look forward to the day when I can leave New York City and never, ever return. Only 8 and a half years to go until I can freeze my pension... I already did. I dont plan on ever moving back to nyc, I go family and I will visit and stay for a week or 2 but never in this world I will move back. I would consider moving to Long Island but that is to much of a trip from LI to Atlantic City l0l. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransitStop Posted April 29, 2010 Share #25 Posted April 29, 2010 thats a shame a man had to die because residents of NYC just "didnt care" i mean really it had to of been obvious he wasnt drunk and yet people take picture's with a cell phone which could of been used to call 911 and then another man shakes the man and didnt notice a pool of blood or that he was dying not trying to be offensive to residents of New York but this kind of thing is outragous i dont think ive ever seen something like this.
