Would you help a man or woman lying in the street?
Posted: Apr 26, 2010
I was reading a post on the political board which is not a political issue and got me to wondering...
If you saw a man, woman (child highly unlikely), laying on the street bleeding to death, or even just down, would you call 911 or do anything to help this person.
I believe most people would. The poster said otherwise. I'm just curious if you would offer assistance, call 911, or whatever.
;
yes, I would call 911, if I would offer more help - help
[ In Reply To ..]depends on the specific situation.
I would not get involved if there was still a fight going on, but I would call the police.
Are you referring to the incident that happened - helping hand ?
[ In Reply To ..]in Jamaica? Also posted on the Politics Board?
Excerpt from a YahooNews report regarding this incident:
".....In the urban environment, it's not unusual to see people on the street, sleeping or under the influence of drugs or alcohol."
This all happened at 6:00 a.m. and it was still dark.
Maybe people didn't see the blood pooling under the man.
I was 6:00 a.m., still dark, people were hurrying to their job.
This was most probably the reason that several people passed by, not taking any action.
This man was stabbed to death by a man because he came to the defence of a woman who was in a fight with a man she knew. Both individuals escaped, the man after stabbing the "rescuer" to death.
That's what you get when you come to the "rescue" of another person.
No wonder that many people are afraid to take ANY action and mind their own business, one never knows what one gets into.
It wasn't in Jamaica. - sleepy
[ In Reply To ..]It was in New York.
sleep - mt
[ In Reply To ..]Jamaica is a part of Queens, NY:)
Not talking about Hey Mon Country!
Would you help a man...? - Silly Rabbit
[ In Reply To ..]I know I would. Before cell phones, when I lived in the big city, I dropped 25 cents in a pay phone to call 911 when someone collapsed near me. It turns out he was what one could classify as a 'drunken bum' a street person whom the police were acquainted with. I don't even remember if 911 calls were free on public phones at that time.
In another instance, a skinny mother duck and about 6-8 ducklings were trying to cross a street as she was trying to relocate from a curb drain where she and her family sought shelter. I flagged down a motorist. A lady stopped her car, boxed up the duck family and said she and her daugter were going to relocate them in a pond she knew of.
Sad though the New York situation was, there are still some nice people out there. My experience has been there are a lot of horrible people, but I keep going because there are even more wonderful people.
Jamaica is a part of the borough Queens in New York - r o f l
[ In Reply To ..]we know that it did not happen on the island of Jamaica in the Carribean.
It happened here:
"....Tale-Yax was walking behind a man and a woman on 144th Street in the Jamaica section of Queens around 6 a.m. April 18 when the couple got into a fight that became physical, etc...."
No way. No how. - SueMe

That September drop you were expecting for gasoline prices? Don't hold your breath. Currently, gasoline averages $3.55 a gallon nationally, down from $3.63 a month ago.

Some forecasters predict a short-term spike of up to 10 cents a gallon. Crude oil prices and gas futures are soaring on growing fears that if the U.S. military strikes at Syria for its h ...

Looking For Fraud? Don't Look At Food Stamp Recipients, Look At Wall StreetDec 03, 2013
Of late I see an alarming increase is welfare-bashing "journalism." I see it in my local news, they actually try to chase around the food stamp "cheats" and catch them out. Lazy journalism, IMHO. Why don't you expose the real cheats, the white collar criminals whose fraud is really hurting the system and this country? My pay has halved within 3 years, almost to the point I am eligible for some of these programs, not that I want to be. But how can someone in our job not have the sligh ...
