And speaking of crime on video with callous indifference, I repost the incident in Hartford. Watch how onlookers go about their affairs, return to their cell-phone call sans interruption, etc.

Park Street is actually very much like our Howard Street, only the merchandise is of better quality there.

I noticed how two cars crossed the double yellow line at a high rate of speed, hit the man, then didn't even slow down while driving away.


I did notice the one van pull over right away, stay for awhile, then leave--perhaps he called 911. And though no one came to the man's aid, it is possible that one or more cell phone users were calling 911. The police car arrived fairly quickly.

You have to wonder that the stop snitching culture has gotten so bad that no one would even come to assist the man, perhaps to stop the bleeding or something. It's just that no one wants to get involved.

In certain areas you don't want to be seen as being a possible witness. If the police come, and you're talking to them, thugs might get the word that you're a "snitch".

Actually I bet it's the lawsuit culture. There were some awful stories on the Ed Norris show on Friday from people who got screwed over after they tried to do the right thing.

Actually, as was discussed some a while back on this site, anyone stopping to assist would be protected by Good Samaritan laws, so there's really no reason not to.
