R188 7857 Posted August 21, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 21, 2011 That is stupid. They didn't even help him get up! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdog14 Posted August 21, 2011 Share #3 Posted August 21, 2011 It's very disturbing. How can one just stand there and laugh hysterically, while another is on the tracks in a life or death situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman1455 Posted August 21, 2011 Share #4 Posted August 21, 2011 Not a shock.. in the world we live in now, no one will help someone in danger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted August 21, 2011 Share #5 Posted August 21, 2011 Not a shock.. in the world we live in now, no one will help someone in danger I'm 50/50 agreeing with you. I don't know about the subway rates but on the highways, usually 40% of the people that just witnessed an accident occur, they would pull over and help out.

YankeesPwnMets Posted August 21, 2011 Share #7 Posted August 21, 2011 Can I shove the laughing douche down the tracks? Puh-wease? Ok, time to be serious. The laughing fool didn't do what he needed to do. At least get help or something, but laughing, is inexcusable, despicable and completely careless. I feel bad for the laughing ****'s mother.

WMATA Posted August 21, 2011 Share #9 Posted August 21, 2011 Social media has desensitized us. Instead of dialing 9-11 for help, people would rather use their cell phone camera to record someone in agonizing pain. Idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted August 22, 2011 Share #11 Posted August 22, 2011 I have seen this affect before. It's called the Bystander Effect, or the Kitty Genovese Syndrome. Here is an image to teach you people the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QM1to6Ave Posted August 22, 2011 Share #13 Posted August 22, 2011 I could only see the last video when I went to the article, but it seemed like the people on the platform were really upset, and any "laughter" was really just nervous/anxious laughter. While they might not be the most effective at helping, they do yell out what they think is useful advice (and frankly is not bad advice for the situation). Luckily this was an off-hour and, being the , they knew when the next train was coming. I don't agree with recording this incident, but what can you do.

Urbanfortitude Posted August 22, 2011 Share #14 Posted August 22, 2011 i can't watch shit like that. I get to angry and want to do something about it. That jackass laughing deserves his face rearranged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted August 22, 2011 Share #15 Posted August 22, 2011 I have seen this affect before. It's called the Bystander Effect, or the Kitty Genovese Syndrome. Here is an image to teach you people the basics. Wrong. The Bystander effect leads people to take no responsibility at all in a situation and let someone else be responsible for determining what to do. These people were aware of a situation (step one), determined it was an emergency (step 2), but decided (correctly) that they do not have the proper training and ability to help out (step 3). However, they did try to shout advice, which they believed was helpful, and the MTA officials were already on their way. The fact that they were laughing or recording the situation has nothing to do with the Bystander effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R188 7857 Posted August 22, 2011 Share #16 Posted August 22, 2011 This whole thing is wrong. Laughing and calling a bloodied man "n*gga?" Hell lets see how his friends will react to him if HE fell onto the tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
