It's a widely reported story around the globe, not some underground snuff video, and it had an adequate warning attached both here and on YouTube. Way to shelter people from reality.. God forbid somebody gets offended after clicking on a link which they knew beforehand was graphic.

Also market places were slaughter houses where you could get an animal killed right in front of you. My point here is that China would be very desensitized to death and Chinese people would have a keep to yourself mentality for the most part though younger chinese growing up in big cities would be different.But would this incident be happen in Ireland, Europe USA?.....Absolutely! A guy(off duty medic) was telling me that he had to do CPR on a colapsed woman outside the central bank - He saw a large crowd gathered around a woman but nobody was doing anything - He asked somebody to ring an ambulance then he started doing CPR - he looked up at the guy he asked to ring an ambulance and the guy was using his phone to record what was happening. Here's Tom Green in Canada/USA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csS_oySjfjU Or another clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49YQhTLoGuA The problem is that humans have a sheep mentality and we're not prepared to do anything unless somebody else does first. To say that all Chinese are inhumane is a little harsh - They're just use to seeing this type of thing just like some of us would ignore a junkie lying on the ground.

China has some of the most shocking treatment of young children,particularly infant females anywhere on the face of the planet.I remember seeing in Bizarre Magazine a number of years ago a picture of a dead baby girl lying in the street.The body was just dumped and remained there for iirc a couple of days. Heartbreaking,shocking stuff.

If people are looking for one reason as to how people could walk on by like that then look no further then the desensitization this sort of thing promotes and the instant reaction it may provoke in the title of this thread even , 'the worst news I saw *today*'.

I'll try find the photo and put it in the shocking photos thread because it leaves you lost for words. The worse part was the gentleman who took the photos rang the police about the whole thing, and they arrested him! They didn't realise him until he handed over the camera, but he managed to hold onto the film.
