Crime Watchers Hartford CT Video

I saw this on the today show the other day. Made my little geriatric social work heart hurt very badly. Whatever happened to human decency? The man was very seriously injured.

On the positive side, I was also watching a rerun of Dateline where they set up people by renting an armored vehicle, and throwing out what looked like deposit bags. There was a number on the bag to call if found, and the hope was people would do so. Believe it or not 9 out of 11 were returned unopened.

Not the best comparison, but after seeing the video of the elderly man, it was a glimpse of hope.

Exactly what the hell are the people doing while standing over the guy? They look like they're talking about last night's episode of The Office. Could they appear any less concerned? The guy is laying in the middle of the street, isn't moving and is probably bleeding and they look like the dopes from King of the Hill just standing there. Sweet lord I'd think this was fake if I didn't know better.

it was bad enough the people just standing there doing nothing and the cars driving by,but did they catch the asshole that hit him and kept on going?

Here's more on this story:
