Twitter outcry as driver takes pic of dying hit-and-run victim then posts snap online instead of pho - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Native Hunter;37016807]What the Hell is 999?[/QUOTE] you seriously couldn't fucking google "999"? It's the first result.

[QUOTE=Native Hunter;37016807]What the Hell is 999?[/QUOTE] Just a question, have you ever heard of The United Kingdom? Or is that a silly question [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] I hate to be the one to point out you're feeding the stereotype :v: [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] Also couldn't you guess...the number is 3 digits (quick for emergency) and the title depicts an emergency. Surely it couldn't be the emergency number? It must be some kind of chat hotline Do you look at a foreign ambulance and go "why have they put these 2/3 digit numbers on this van and painted it bright colours with lights on it, what the hell is this"

[QUOTE=BloodFox1222;37016006]Hit someone with a car? Twitter must know first.[/QUOTE] I think you misunderstood. This guy isn't the one who hit him, he was simply driving past and saw someone lying in the bus lane. Not that hard to mistake that for a drunkard, especially in Scotland. At least he actually stopped.

FYI: Europe universal emergency #: 112 (Police, Firesquad, Paramedics ) 999 is UK+Ireland only, but 112 works too.

Similar thing happened in Regina, Sask, where I live. Two First Nations people were fooling around and one decides to try and swim across the lake. He starts drowning and went under and his friend ran around trying to get someone, for 20 minutes trying to get someone/anyone to phone 911 for him. No one did, because "he didn't look right" (The people were afraid he would rob them or run off with their phone.) Needless to say, the swimmer drowned. The fished him out later. Pretty sad.

[quote]Choudhury could be prosecuted for failing to help the man[/quote] And good thing too.

[QUOTE=just-a-boy;37016202]You may see someone lying in the street, but as long as you don't turn enough attention to it, you can somewhat excuse your own conscience and just walk away with the typical "none of my business, must've been a drunk" ringing in your head.[/QUOTE] I was in the outskirts of Oslo some time last year and a guy had fallen off his electric wheelchair into the side of the street and I rushed down two blocks and pulled him and the chair up; I think that's what most people would do. Bystander Effect is a kind of social anxiety I think and really only applies when there are large crowds.

So just to clarify that I have this correct, the kid took the picture before anything had happened? As in, the guy got hit AFTER the picture was taken? That's how I'm interpreting the article, help me out.

Looking at that photo I would've thought the exact same

I know the perfect punishment for this guy. 120 hours of community service + 2 year driving ban should teach him how to behave like a human being and not a selfish cunt.

[QUOTE=H4wkeye;37018745]I know the perfect punishment for this guy. 120 hours of community service + 2 year driving ban should teach him how to behave like a human being and not a selfish cunt.[/QUOTE] h4wkeye i would read the article i posted on the first page.

[QUOTE=Electrocuter;37016709]Is that what you would do, not help him because he's [b]probably[/b] gonna die anyway? no, fuck it, just looked at your ban list, you're a troll, i'm out.[/QUOTE] Holy shit, that's a lot of bans.

[QUOTE=Joem1k;37018757]h4wkeye i would read the article i posted on the first page.[/QUOTE] I read it. I know the guy didn't run him over but just took a pic. It's a criminal offense to not stop and help someone like that in my country and you can go to jail for that. So for that,(not dialing 999 or anything) I would give him community service and some driving ban.

[QUOTE=NotMeh;37016435]Yes because this one prick represents the entire human race. You're a perfect example of why I don't usually post in Sensationalist Headlines; "wow i lost faith in humanity fuck this world" in every second thread. Do the world a favor and put yourself out of your misery if "humanity" bothers you so much.[/QUOTE] And between those threads their 'faith in humanity is restored' when someone saves a kitten from an alligator or something.

[QUOTE=Native Hunter;37016807]What the Hell is 999?[/QUOTE] So do you have to remind yourself to breath or do you just wait til the oxygen in your lungs runs out and you instinctively gasp for the next breath?

[QUOTE=mac338;37018321]I was in the outskirts of Oslo some time last year and a guy had fallen off his electric wheelchair into the side of the street and I rushed down two blocks and pulled him and the chair up; I think that's what most people would do. Bystander Effect is a kind of social anxiety I think and really only applies when there are large crowds.[/QUOTE] Of course most people are going to help on simpler occasions such as someone falling off their wheelchair or someone laying down on the side of a highway. I generally help when I can and see that it would be of assistance to someone. I consider myself a good samaritan. I am in no way [I]advocating[/I] the Bystander Effect or it's small-scale variants, but I doubt the majority of people on FP would go out of their way to identify, stick around and possibly hassle with paperwork afterwards - in short, take on the brunt of responsibility, whoever that person may be (genuinely in need of medical help or a sleeping bum). I merely speak from personal experience and what I've observed so far. You've helped someone - good for you! Helpful, friendly people is what the world needs, but I'm not going to sugarcoat the fact that most people wouldn't give a rat's ass in fear of having to deal with the responsibility once they get involved. [QUOTE=Trumple;37016782]What is wrong with you If I saw someone lying in a road, I'd stop and pull him out, then phone an ambulance. One of my friends saw a guy who had fallen off his bike and was unconscious on the side of a lonely road. He phoned an ambulance, performed CPR and mouth-to-mouth until the paramedics arrived. It turns out the guy had a heart attack, and according to the paramedics he would have died had it not been for my friend[/QUOTE] Good. Your friend can take pride in knowing he saved someone's life. And don't misunderstand: I help out if the situation calls for it, but I'm saying the amount who wouldn't is enough to make one worry.

You can't even tell he got hit in that picture. For all he knew he was a drunk passed out.

[QUOTE=just-a-boy;37018975] Good. Your friend can take pride in knowing he saved someone's life.[/QUOTE] Saving a life - Pride. Taking a life away - Respect.

Looking at the picture, the kid was probably afraid of ruining his 'swag'. I fucking hate kids.

derty imgrants

Fucking kids these days.

[QUOTE=AsianInvasion;37019764]Looking at the picture, the kid was probably afraid of ruining his 'swag'. I fucking hate kids.[/QUOTE] The fuck are you talking about? What a ridiculously retarded fucking post showing your personal fears and insecurities, thinking that anyone who dresses nicely or carries themselves as a sociable person is too afraid to ruin their "swag" to do anything for anyone but themselves. [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] And what do you mean, the picture? If you saw his picture you'd understand that he really did make an honest mistake, he lives in fucking Scotland

[QUOTE=YouWithTheFace.;37019020]You can't even tell he got hit in that picture. For all he knew he was a drunk passed out.[/QUOTE] If a guy is drunk and passed out you should still at least call the police to come pick him up.

[QUOTE=DELL;37020698]If a guy is drunk and passed out you should still at least call the police to come pick him up.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but not calling the cops because someone is dying, and not calling the cops because a drunk is in the street are entirely different, and at that he was in the bus lane...so I mean...

If I saw a man just lying in the street in an urban area, I'd have no idea what was happening as well. It's not like he saw the guy get hit, saw the guy bleeding in the street, and THEN did nothing; he saw a man lying on the ground. I'd have thought he was drunk too.

He didn't hit him or anything, the guy saw a man laying on the road and took a picture because he thought it was a bit funny. I would have thought he was a drunk too, and if you've looked at the picture it was pretty dark, so there wasn't much to see.
