Cartel video was crazy.. but this is even more so
Dunno how many people would have seen this but it is MESSED. It shows this injured 3 - year old kid lying on the road. Cars are running over his legs, people are walking around him, it's fucked up. It goes on and on, no one gives a FUCK! I can't understand! China is a fucked up place. I can not imagine something like that happening here. Incomprehensible.

That isn't a China thing. That's a Human thing.
It's called the bystander effect. As the number of people around increases, the likelihood of any one person helping decreases. |

Of course this isn't a China thing, but this ain't no fucking bystander effect thing either. This is a mentality. The mentality of those people walking by are FUCKED. It would not happen anywhere around here. No fucking way. The 1st person that noticed a 3 year old lying crippled on the fucking road would do something, no matter where it was or when it was.
It's like 1984 actually happened in China. There are way too many people that didn't care for it to be some anomaly.

Pretty shocking to see shit like that happen, and I would venture a guess that it is real... it isn't exactly the first dead child in the street/nobody gives a fuck story to come out of China.
I remember a good while back China being criticized for its one child per family policy, as it lead to "excess" children being killed and left in the street like trash by their own family. What is particularly shocking about this video though, is that the child is still clearly alive and moving but the first couple of passers by don't help or even seem perturbed by it. One hell of a fucked up mindset if you ask me. |

I'm blaming China? Blaming them for what exactly? I'm merely pointing out that China seems to be a place where this sort of thing can occur.. cuz I dunno.. what do you think the chances are that this sort of thing would happen in a city in north america? 10+ people not doing a thing??? Cuz in this case your 'handful of assholes' are just random passerbys. It's not like I'm judging based on the actions of a group of assholes that know each other, or are associated in some sort of shady enterprise or whatever.. it's just random people. It's pretty crazy to think that out of that many random people, not one would care.

Sorry Ex I'm cranky round 4:20 when I have no weed.
The vid reminded me of some pics this Indian speaker at my school showed where there was a dead kid on the sidewalk and a bunch of ppl just walked by not even looking at him. I really dunno why no one tried to help or at least see what was up, maybe it's a fucked up part of China?
