What the fuck is wrong with people? I'm glad that 19 yr old got her out.
Would you have run over there to save her? Someone in a car that is engulfed in flames at a gas station?
You can praise the kid that helped but don't talk bad about the people that didn't save her. It was a very dangerous situation that only a small percentage of people would have helped with.
Yeah I would actually do that. I can't just stand by in emergency situations.

The ubiquity of cameras is a real boon for holding authority figures and others accountable for misuse of power, and to document evidence of crimes or wrongdoing.
But I find it disturbing that this seems to be replacing, rather than augmenting, bystander's responsibility to protect and care for each other.
Is this a temporary phenomenon due to how new this technological shift is, or is it a permanent transition from active to passive interaction with the world around us?
Regardless, I'm appreciative that kids like this one still have the will to take action when appropriate.
wow Unbelievable
