No one bothered to help

Last summer, I spent time filling in on WISN discussing the tragic story of the death of Lashanda Callaway. Callaway was stabbed at a convenience store in Wichita, Kansas.

While on the floor, bleeding to death, no one offered to help, not the store employee, not the other five customers. Some of the customers stepped over her body so they could continue in line to make their purchases.

One woman, after stepping over the dying woman several times, finally pulled out a cell phone. But she didn’t call 9-1-1. She took pictures of the woman on the floor. Reportedly, some pictures found their way onto the Internet.

Even though the bleeding woman struggled to her feet, only to fall to the floor several times, nobody bothered to help. Finally, emergency personnel arrived, but the delay cost the woman her life.

This is a disgusting story, a tragic commentary on our times that some individuals have such a total disregard for human life.

Now, another story has surfaced in the news, another blatant example of man’s inhumanity and cruelty. Again, it could have been prevented. Here are the details from MSNBC.
