Jesus christ...had to stop after 10 or 20 seconds. It's bad for all our souls if shit like this ever gets easy to "view," both the misfortune and the way people are dealing / not-dealing with it.

I can't understand the mind set of that fuck. Stop filming and step up.

Agree. I got pissed as soon as the asshole filming started talking and I realized he was not going to help.

Yeap. 1st thought: pretty much every car on the street has a jack in it. Almost everybody I know would be trying to think of how to help, what would be a right thing to do -- immediately.

I guess an afterthought is that if that bus ran over him for him to be in that spot, taking the weight off him might immediately cause him to bleed out.

It's just fucked. It sucks to think how many will view that video, and that someday it may well not be noticed that no voices are heard puzzling over what to do.

As far as the perception that the video would tend to create about "black life" (since the victim, the cameraman, and other voices all seem to be black) is one of habitual inhumanity is painful as well. It's not my experience of black communities I've lived in, but it is for sure the prevailing framing of it (everywhere). The whole thing is just fucked, the incident, the video itself, and how it will play into national culture/perception, all of it.

No doubt the psychopathic (lack of empathy) viewpoint is behind a lot of what we see in terms of violent & inhuman videos that make their way around the internet, because usually it will be a person with a serious malfunction who created the video in the first place. If there wasn't anybody with that viewpoint present, all would have been too busy trying to be useful to film it.

The most fucked up thing's that the proliferation of that viewpoint, just in terms of it being behind a disproportionate amount of the content we consume, normalizes it. It isn't normal. It is crazy/mentally deficient. But it's more normal and less crazy than it used to be.

I am originally from New Orleans(mostly black population) and everyone I knew would go out of their way to help a stranger. The person filming seems to have lost human empathy.

Very much my experience as well. I'm sure we have some of the same experiences watching that vid, not just gut reactions to the actual content (what is & maybe more importantly isn't there) but how the existence of the video works, why it will get around the world very quickly, all of it.
