For sure we are desensitized...but i also think a lot of people have the mindset, "that surely someone, or the next person to walk by will do something, and therefore they dont necessarily have to do anything, because they believe eventually something will be done even if its not them doing it..." as bad as the people that walked by are...im even more concerned with the dude that stopped, touched the man and like lifted him up and kept walking...When i saw that video i just thought to myself, "what if that woman being mugged was my sister, gf, mother, niece, etc...is that how i would repay the man that saved my sister's or mother's life?? Hell naw...that woman that was attacked was someone's daughter, sister, maybe wife, and just like i would want someone to help someone close to me, i would repay them by helping them in anyway i could. What society is telling people by this incident, is that if someone is getting mugged, you better keep walking and ignore it, because there is no help for those that are helpful. Ironically, at the very least, it wouldn't have killed any of the people walking by to take out their phone as they walked by and dial 911 and just say, "a woman was just almost mugged, the man that rescued her has been stabbed and is badly injured and lying on the ground on main street"....but it did end up killing that poor man...We as a people need to get Unfluenced!
pardon the essay...lol...just passionate about things like this...
