This happened in Hartford Conneticut yesterday, I believe, and it's fucked in so many ways. Guy is probably going to die, if not already dead. I realize it's graphic, but I didn't submit this as some "OH COOL" kind of thing and it's also being shown, uncut repeatedly, all over network and cable news.

What's that theory that states that the more people who are around something, the less likely any of them will do anything to help? Also, I want to be the first to say, there's no way that driver didn't know he hit something. The driver might have gotten off easy since that guy was kinda walking out in the middle of the road and the car that hit him was behind this other car and blah blah but gunning it away at top speed totally doomed that guy.

StanleyPain - 2008-06-05 My theory is that the two cars were racing/chasing....something of that nature. They seem very sure or their purpose; usually in hit and runs the person at least hits the breaks or reacts to the accident THEN leaves. These guys didn't even try to stop, they were headed for that turn together and didn't even flinch.

It's really time we dropped the big one, gentlemen. We may as well wipe it clean and start again.

Big Beef Burritos Supreme - 2008-06-06 Good God, man. You're right.
There is to be no bunker. We'll just have to let nature take its course in creating it entirely from the beginning and among radioactive debris.

A guy got hit by a car right in front of my workplace about a year ago. Within 10 seconds, there were a dozen people clustered around him, talking and keeping him conscious, redirecting traffic, taking down license plate numbers, and calling 911.
This, meanwhile, is disgusting.

What would you guys hypothetically do in this situation?
I mean, I'd phone 911, then go see if the guy can talk (or at least I'd like to think that's what I'd do). But I'd be petrified of moving him in any way.

Ryo-Cokey - 2008-06-06 The police chief has retracted his earlier statement, apparently four people called 911 within a minute of the accident:

As for helping him, I imagine he was unconscious and had neck injuries. Meaning you couldn't move him, and you couldn't talk to him. You could go check his pulse, but that wouldn't accomplish anything.
"Ah, he's dead. Ok, call 911 back and tell them not to bother."

I'm from Connecticut and this video is just another example of the evil that is Hartford. Hartford is the state capital and yet shit like this happens every day. There's something in the air there. To me, the lack of response from bystanders and other drivers is more disturbing than the hit and run itself. The police chief stated that no one even called 911. The injured man was discovered by a cop responding to an unrelated call. This is probably the most depressing comment on humanity I've seen in a long time.

People just look, stroll by, drive past, parallel park. Business as usual in Hartford. Don't worry, the street cleaners will pick that up eventually, just kick it to the curb or drive over it slowly, like a speedbump.
CHRIST CONNETICUT!
