Yeh, it did look like she was mishaving, and I can understand if people had conflicting thoughts. But what the two guys did was great, I mean at least you should see whats up...

yeah I agree but I would expect them to at least observe for a short time what's going on (like the guys did) and call 911 just in case.

Its part of the growing selfishness of today's culture where you just dont give a jack about others' suffering if it doesnt affect you personally.

Several generations ago, people would feel genuinely sorry if they heard about / saw others suffering and they would try to help.

Nowadays it happens right in front of them, but as long as they're not affected by it directly, they just don't care.

"Its none of my business"

Somma dese people need Islam in their lives so badly.

I like this video because it challenges the stereotype of the African American male. We generally perceive them to be bad yet when it came down to it; they were the only ones that ran to help the kid.
