Inhumane Bystanders

So if you were walking down the street and saw an individual laying there bleeding to death, what would you do. Apparently nothing - anyway that is what the people featured in this article did.

I have witnessed this result first hand and it absolutely blows me away. A homeless man tried to help a lady, got stabbed and laid there bleeding to death while people walked by, looked, took pictures and did NOTHING!

I can see if there was a scramble and you were afraid of getting hurt so you simply called for help. I can see if you pass out when you are around blood so you dial 911 on your cell phone. I can see asking someone on the street to help the man lying there bleeding to death. I can't see doing Nothing. That was a human being who was homeless, yet he took the time to try to help his fellow woman and how was he repaid?

Ironic? I really try ot to judge people and what they do but there is a time to speak up and take a stand. Obviously it is too late for this gentleman who has since died but maybe someone who reads this will be put in a situation that they would think at the least - what if this was me? Would I want someone to stop and help me?

And we wonder why the faith in humanity s decreasing!

    I always like to hope that in that situation that I would be the one to jump in and help. Sometimes the un-known of things scares me but I would like to think I'm a strong enough person that I wouldn't walk away! I think I would regret it for the rest of my life if I did. Bless that homeless man for helping that woman.

IT COULD HAVE SAVED THAT PERSONS LIFE AND MORE. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT HUMANITY IS LOST SO MUCH. I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR THAT HOMELESS PERSON, BUT I FEEL NOTHING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WATCHED AND DID NOTHING. I ONLY PITTY FOR THOSE WHO DID NOTHING WHAT SO EVER WHEN THEY COULD HAVE.
