HUMANITY IS FUCKED, this is why I will save my pet over another. My luck i step in to help a person, i am either sued later or killed for helping ungrateful POS I will help any person I can but, when this country collapses don't count on it.
26-year-old convenience store clerk is shot and killed in broad daylight in Gary, Indiana. Police say witnesses stood by and did nothing. CBS 2's Pamela Jones shows us critical clues that may help crack the case. Police say one of the men bursting into the clerk's booth at this convenience store is about to commit murder. In the video on the left side of the screen, you can see a man in red run up an aisle and kick in the door to the booth. Within seconds, the clerk, Gurjeet Singh, is shot in the neck. "It was senseless. And really all homicides are senseless but what we gather from this, there was very little resistance," said Gary Police Department Commander Anthony Titus. "It didn't have to end the way it did." But Titus says what's even more senseless, is the apparent inaction of bystanders standing near the front door almost the whole time. Police asked that we conceal their identity. Police say there were several customers walking around the store after the crime. But only one called 9-1-1 for help. When asked what he finds most disturbing about the surveillance footage, Titus said, "The fact that people went in and out of the store and didn't call police. There is a man laying there. Nobody thinks to dial 9-1-1 or check to see if he's okay or anything." Police want to talk to people who saw the four men at this mini-mart on 15th and Grant just before 5:20 p.m. Sunday. Investigators say two were dressed in black shirts, like one man who's apparently holding a gun. The other two, including one man, had red shirts. Police think they were driving a burgundy compact car. "It's clear enough to the point that if you're familiar with that person, you'd be able to look at it and go, that's someone I know," Titus said. Investigators hope someone who sees this video will be able to help bring the family of 26-year-old Gurjeet Singh some closure. A man who was doing his job one minute and losing a fight for his life seconds later. (© MMIX, CBS Broadcasting Inc.

I would honestly fight to the death for anyone I saw in a similar predicament. I learned a long time ago that my instinct is to run towards people in trouble rather than away from them. These stories trouble me. Apathy is the root of our downfall as a nation.

When people who choose to live like sheep, act like sheep, why on earth would you be mad or disgusted? It's a little Disney to assume people think and act like you would when, with our current political climate, that obviously isn't the case.

When we had the beheading on Tech's campus earlier this year, people ran like lemmings, and others just hid behind counters as some nut job sawed his friend's head off.

It's messed up in general, but that's what makes good people good. Anyone who would save an animal before a person is not in the column of "good people." |

Graphic testimony heard in Virginia Tech beheading case Associated Press Posted: 05/29/2009 01:40:14 PM PDT Updated: 05/29/2009 01:40:16 PM PDT CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. — A Virginia Tech doctoral student lunged at a fellow student in a campus cafe and began cutting her head off with a knife while staring at her face with a blank, determined expression, a cafe worker testified today. Corey Cox said he had just returned from a break at his job at Au Bon Pain in Tech's Graduate Life Center on Jan. 21 when he heard growling and screaming. He looked up to see Haiyan Zhu attacking Xin Yang. "He was already going at her, cutting her head off," Cox testified at a preliminary hearing for Zhu. Cox said he dove behind the counter and called 911 while customers and his manager ran from the coffee shop. At least twice during the call, Cox said, the dispatcher asked him to look around the abandoned shop so he could give her more information. Each time he looked up, Cox said, Zhu was on top of Yang, who was on the floor. Zhu stared at Yang's face as he cut through her neck, Cox said. "It wasn't really an angry face at all," said Cox, at that point the only witness to the gruesome events. "It was just a really blank, determined look." By the time police arrived, Zhu was holding the woman's head in his hand, an officer testified. "I saw a body lying and I saw a gentleman walking toward me with a head in his hand," testified Nicole Irvine of the Virginia Tech Police Department. Irvine said he dropped the head when she ordered him to put his hands in the If you have enough time to yack on 911, you have enough time to man up and save a ladies life. |

FWIW, the defendant was covered in defensive wounds. The lady was fighting back, while everyone else either hid or tucked tail.
Disgusting |

I'll go ahead and say you win, you are king dick and can react and shoot the balls off a gnat at 50 paces in under .5 seconds and you could have saved her. Now, for the rest of us who live in the real world, my statement stands. When a nutjob you are meeting as a friend and date jumps the table and starts sawing your head off, you are dead. The ONLY way an normal human could have saved her is if those defensive wounds had been on her back. That means she was running the hell away and the rest of us human folks had time to take in the situation, draw, take aim, and fire. |

Why would anybody be surprised about this? If you keep telling people that only the police have the authority to intervene in a crime, eventually they will believe you, and act accordingly. We have spent 5 decades developing a society of sheep, and now we are surprised when sheep act like sheep?

If you go through life, with the mentality that you are incapable of defending or reacting to situations which occur at the split of a second, then you will never be able to react to anything. Training, mentally and physically will over come those obstacles.
You would think that a mentality would have changed following 9/11, and subsequently the Virginia Tech shooting of '07. |

It's not their job to do anything...
Mike Judge was right and this world gets more and moar like 'Idiocracy' every day. |

i don't think you can expect much more from an urban environment like chicago. i read recently of one school there where 60% of the 8th grade class will not "graduate". these people simply have no foundation for decency or human behavior. move to a small town and you'll find plenty of good, honest people.
eta. yes. i consider gary, indiana to be part of chicago. |
