does the average Chinese citizen have a cell phone? Some of them could have gone somewhere to find a phone for all we know
I'm over here trying to mentally unboggle what the situation would be over there that would cause [B]18[/B] random citizens to think that a dying infant was [I]okay[/I]
this is just inhuman

There's this theory in Psychology that people dont like taking responsibility for things. The more people around, the less likely anybody is to do anything. So if you're gonna need someone to help you, you better hope theres only a few people around.
Though this did seem like a pretty quiet place.
I got some info here in China of what it's like for things like these to even happen.
Nobody wanted to get involved because if you were to help, it's almost entirely going to be blamed on the person who helped, even if they had no involvement. And most times, the victim will win and it will give them compensation to the person who did absolutely nothing but help.
There is supposedly a myth that most people who are in accidents, the driver will back up and run them over again to make sure they are dead instead of badly injured. They do this because it is cheaper to pay a fine for an accident to someone's life, instead of paying compensation for the rest of the victim's life.
My dad had a co-worker who helped out 2 families in a car wreck but had nothing to do with it and now he hasn't helped a single person since because every time he helped, the family blamed the entire situation on him just so a low income family could get more money.
His co-worker told me to never get my license in Mainland China, because if they see a white person in a car once you are in an accident, and they just got a slight bump to the ground, they will stay on the ground and pretend to be badly hurt. They will even take their arms and rub them against the concrete because they know since you are white, you will be able to get even more compensation.

That is seriously fucked up. Though I doubt a two year old would blame some randome dude (she probably wasn't even conscious), I had no idea people were that worried they'd be blamed.
Kind of funny how it circles back on them. They don't help anyone because they think they'll be blamed for it, but in the same situation they do the same. It's utterly despicable.

And like I said they almost always win.

Yeah, I guess. Though I wonder what the parents care about more: their horribly injured and (to a degree) mutilated daughter, or the compensation they get?
There's some big trouble in China.
My God
[QUOTE=ProffesorAssHat;32913920]I hope they find the guy who ran her over. Stuff like this is just plain fucked up.[/QUOTE]
Watch the video. It says he turned himself in. The driver of the second truck has not however.
What, is the little girl going to sue someone for pushing her in front of a car? No.
How about at least dragging her out of the fucking way of traffic? Getting her out from under your car before you pull forward?
Justice system be damned. I'd face legal repercussions to save a little girl from dying alone on the cold fucking pavement. If you wouldn't, you're part of the problem.
I was talking to a friend about this when he linked me to this article;

Apparently people are saying that she only did it for fame/money.
China, not just a country that's fucked up, but also a country with fucked up people. Even the China Immigrants are dicks here.
I hope the fucker who ran over her gets whats coming to them.
It isn't solely his fault though. Like in that article above, it's China's society's fault as well. They care too much about making more money and becoming more efficient, and lose their sympathy and emotion in the process.

Imagine if you live in china. You have a family. You are poor like most of the china. Now would you try to help a stranger with a chance that your entire family will be fucked up from fines?
And again, chances are her parents would sue actually. The girl ran off, which is a sign that her mom is not really caring. If I was a poor person and my daughter died and I had a chance to sue someone, I'd sure as hell would because China is not america or europe, shit there is actually bad.

[QUOTE=SpaceGhost;32915578]Faith lost in asians[/QUOTE]
No.
Okay. So the "Jesus Asian living conditions sucks" posts are completely false. It's bad and everything but it's not just in Asia that it happens. It's happens in the U.S.,England,Russia, everywhere. Look up "Girl hit by car" and you'll get thousands upon thousands of results. A very infamous incident like this occurred in the 70s in New York a girl named "Kitty" died and nobody went to pick her up and move her. It's a human defense mechanism, there are too many things going on in the city so you put on your blinders and keep walking.
This is the 4th thread about this.
Considering she was braindead at that point, I'm relieved that her suffering has ended.
The drivers of both vehicles have been identified and arrested.
[quote]Police in China have arrested two drivers in connection with the death of a toddler who was hit and left for dead on a busy street earlier this month in southern China, The Daily Mirror in the United Kingdom as well as Chinese-language media are reporting.
Police were able to identify the drivers of the two vans after examining graphic video of the vehicles striking 2-year-old Wang Yue, who died in the hospital on Friday, about a week after the accident in Foshan, China, the Mirror reports.
According to the Mirror, formal arrests in China almost always lead to a trial.
The case raised questions of human decency in the country, particularly as word surfaced that many passersby had witnessed the accident and done little to help the little girl.[/quote]

Considering how this is one of those few incidents in china where even the government controlled media outlets are allowed to discuss what happened, it's likely the government themselves are not impressed either.
If the two don't spend the next 25 years in labor camps, they'll be executed.
this kind of ruined my day.
i really would love to smack the shit out of all of the witnesses who did nothing.
