FranklinX 37 Report post Posted October 19, 2011 This is shocking news. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFjdMKJVkzQ&feature=player_embedded This is the news article http://www.smh.com.au/world/only-the-guilty-help-the-injured-legacy-of-the-nanjing-judge-all-too-apparent-as-passersby-ignore-hitrun-toddler-20111019-1m6sv.html The sight of an injured toddler lying bleeding on the road for seven minutes while passers-by ignored her shocked many around the world, but to some in China it was the all too familiar legacy of the "Nanjing Judge".A judge in the eastern city of Nanjing made headlines five years ago when he blamed a good Samaritan for knocking an old lady over in the street because "common sense" meant only the guilty help the injured.

If you read the entire article good lost Samaritan court cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marked 197 Report post Posted October 19, 2011 My girlfriend showed me this.. she was really upset about it, especially when she found out that girl had died after being admitted to hospital. China has the death penalty, at least 2 drivers from this video deserve it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dragon324 16 Report post Posted October 19, 2011 This. That is a very disturbing video. I don't even know what to say. I am seriously upset. This is very sad but however does not surprise me one bit. I don't know how many people here are from America but there is one case that sticks out in my head where this one guy started to stab this girl and from a neighboring apartment someone yelled get off her, well he got scared and ran away. The girl managed to crawl her way (bleeding) to her front door, however it was locked. Later the same guy came back and eventually made his way around front where he finally raped and killed her. Why none of the 12 documented witness never bothered to check to see if she was okay or called the police is a mystery. However it does go to show you that people really don't like to get themselves involved for many reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The person who picked up the child and put the child back on the ground really made me angry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted October 19, 2011 Not only the drivers deserve it but all 18 people. The person who picked up the child and put the child back on the ground really made me angry. Perhaps.. I mean its hard to tell. There was blood, but (obviously) they would only deserve it if they were aware she was that badly injured. The first guy to walk past might actually have witness it, and he casually does a semi-circle to walk around her. That's just horrible. Also in some jurisdictions (who would know about China) its not illegal to fail to help someone who might die otherwise, unless you had a duty to act (ie you're her father/mother). If you were in France, its the law that you have to help if you reasonably can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
