Raw video footage:
This is really a messed up story. A 78-year old man got hit by a car in broad daylight. The driver never stopped, nor did anyone else. Reportedly four people called 911, but the police cruiser that showed up on the scene just happened to be driving down the street. When he saw the man lying in the street he stopped and called for an emergency dispatch.
My first thought after watching the clip was of the biblical account of the good Samaritan. Jesus told the story of a man had been robbed and beat up and left on the side of the road for dead. Several people passed by him, including a priest, but none stopped to help until the good Samaritan came along. Why do I mention that? Well, because Jesus told this story over 2000 years ago. This lets me know that insensitivity to humanity is not new. It's just that now we have sophisticated technology that displays it to the world in the blink of an eye. It's hard to see the true nature of some people.
The man is now in the hospital in critical condition, paralyzed from the waist down.
Let me say this again...Nobody helped. Read the full story here.
God is love.
