Very very disturbing. They show the actual footage a few seconds into the video. |

You know, there was an accident shortly before I left Lubbock.....I was on my way home from work, and turning right onto 34th street from Indiana, and I saw people gathered around something. I pulled over and there was an old man in the street lying about 7 feet from a pickup truck. They hit the guy....knocked him clear out of his shoes. I went into the back of my car and grabbed my first aid kit and went over there. NO ONE was doing anything....they were just all crowded around for the show. So, I did what I was trained to do....ASSESS and try first aid. Unfortunately the guy died because, well, he was hit by a fucking oversized pickup truck, and folks stood around staring at his gurgling body for like 5-10 minutes before I even got there.
I know shock sets in, and folks become afraid that if they try something they may kill the person....but NOT trying can also kill them. I would rather be alive and injured because someone just TRIED than dead because no one stopped to help. |
