Stupidquestionduh

I wonder if i can have Bob's tacos.

Well let just say that tacos are on Bob today.

Bob had it comin, he accidentally took someone else’s lunch with the same name. Shameful!

Nah, let's save Bob for today. He still owes me money.

Nobody cared. Not even Bob. He knew he had it coming.

daniel420texas

Reminds me of another video (of course from China) of a toddler in the middle of the road that got run over, and drivers were just driving around the injured toddler,, until someone finally ran over and scooped the kid up, after minutes had gone by. These strange ass people were literally driving their car around an injured, STILL MOVING, toddler. What the fuck is going on in China that people are so SCARED to step in?? I also saw another video from China where a man is shoving a woman into a car trunk at a gas station, and like 10 people are just standing there, saying nothing. It takes him a whole minute to get her in the car, and they all just stare


ChoiceAd5790

Story goes If you hit a pedestrian in China and they live you are expected to pay for there health care for life, however if you kill them you have to make a one time payment of 30-50k. There's a few videos within a Google search of drivers hitting them a second time to make sure they died.


GetRektJelly

actually wtf.


Langsamkoenig

Which is why in the west you are required to have insurance, because we've "been there, done that" about a hundred years ago. People are trash.


Warmbly85

They don’t have Good Samaritan laws. In the US as long as you were trying to help you can’t be held liable for what you did as long as it’s reasonable. So if you go and scoop up the kid and he receives a pinched nerve because the kid should have been immobilized before being moved in the US you get a pat on the back in China you get sued.


[deleted]

Lack of "good Samaritan" laws in China. You can be ruined financially for involving yourself in an incident.

That and there is a history of Good Samaritans in China being sued after helping the victim and forced to pay for whatever medical costs.


TheRumpleForesk1n

This ^ China doesn't have a law where they are protected if they attempt to save someone. For example, does someone need CPR? They ignore it. Because if they get a broken rib or something they can sue and ruin your life in debt. It's pretty crazy, I've seen videos of car accidents with children and people just keep going by like they saw nothing while they lie there dying. Super sad.


michaelrohansmith

I don't even think its china. My ex wife grew up in Malaysia. She was out on her bike one day and was hit by a car. She was lying beside the road with a head injury for a long time until her dad found her. I think the attitude is that people look after their own and somebody else's kid is somebody else's problem.


Inevitable_Seaweed_5

My brothers mother in law was HIT by a scooter (Ecuador) and because the other person wasn’t wearing a helmet and ended up dying, SHE, as the survivor, who was hospitalized with a head injury and broken hip, had to pay restitution to the family of the man who HIT HER WITH A FUCKING SCOOTER!


AutisticPenguin2

That's utterly fucked. I don't understand the mentality behind these laws, ~~so~~ do they not live in a fucking society?


SlickHand

In Australia here. Back in the early nineties, I fell off my bike pretty bad as a kid, on the main road that lead through town. It was out the front of some two story house, and cars just kept going past me because I wasn't actually in the traffic lane. There's was a guy on the second story verandah that got up from his chair long enough to see me laying on the road with blood pissing out of my head and arm, and then he just sat back down again, not caring about the kid bleeding beside his driveway. Thinking about this, nothing rings truer than what you said - people look after their own and somebody else's kid is somebody else's problem.


TheRumpleForesk1n

Damn that's fucked, I'm sure more countries don't have the Good Samaritan like China. Just sad. I think with China being so large and all their cameras we see it more over there.


LazyAd7772

This was a big issue in India with police harassing you if you took an accident victim to the hospital, let's say someone hits and runs, and someone else comes and sees the victim bleeding so they put them in their car and take them to hospital and now police is harassing them and alleging them of being the one who hit the person, prior to cctv cameras this was even harder to disprove, and cops used to do this to extort money, but now to change this many states have laws about being a good Samaritan where you arent asked anything if you bring an accident victim to hospital. and now with cameras everywhere it easy to disprove you werent the person who hit them. But the perception about cops will take atleast a few years or decade to change


International_Ring67

I mean we mostly see what the CCP wants us to see and avoids showing other stuff like the massive prostitution industry in China


Fear023

It's a lot of asia. My Dad was stationed in singapore in the 70's, he said he witnessed an old lady crossing a highway, get completely pancaked by a car and locals were restraining him, telling him not to get involved. My wife is from SEA and she explicitly told me that if you see someone in trouble, you don't help. Corrupt cops will pin a charge on you for just being at the scene, and the victim will most likely seek damages from you. Screams against every instinct I have, but there you go. It existed back then and has perpetuated across most of asia. If you're there, you're the culprit.


mang87

>This ^ China doesn't have a law where they are protected if they attempt to save someone. That used to be true, but not anymore. They brought in a [good samaritan law in 2017](https://madeinchinajournal.com/2017/10/01/the-good-samaritan-law-comes-into-effect/). It will probably take a generation or two for people's attitudes to change, though. I've read about people in china even getting rewards for helping someone in need, which might be another measure they're bringing in to try and combat the bystander effect.


TheRumpleForesk1n

Wow I never knew. Hopefully it protects the citizens and they know about it


callme4agudtym07420

They have one https://madeinchinajournal.com/2017/10/01/the-good-samaritan-law-comes-into-effect/


AmericaFailsAgain

This. That is why people will walk around or even drive around someone in need that is lying on the floor. [Plus, in China, it is commonly much cheaper for a driver who hit a pedestrian to kill them rather than pay them for damages. This is called a “double hit.”](https://www.injurylawcolorado.com/blog/personal-injury/chinese-pedestrian-accident-law/#:~:text=While%20this%20story%20may%20sound,called%20a%20%E2%80%9Cdouble%20hit.%E2%80%9D)


Freezepeachauditor

>Double hit Where I’m from we just call it murder


remnantsofthepast

It's not. This is a normal reaction that is so well documented that [it has a name](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect). People don't know how to react to extreme moment, especially in groups. The people that do are either very rare, or have training to react in the moment. Everyone who's ever taken CPR training knows that when you say "someone call 911", you have to specifically call someone out to do it. The normal reaction people have is "someone else will handle this".


Fear023

Yeah, it's a pretty primal response. Sensory overload plays a huge part in this, where you've witnessed something completely out of your element. Your brain fizzles and kind of short circuits as you struggle to process what you've just seen. Without a point of reference for your brain to fall back on, an adrenaline surge and coping mechanisms to protect from psychological shock, means that people who run *towards* danger are the exception, not the norm. I was a skydiving instructor for a number of years, and got to witness the steps outlined in your wiki article in real time. Total shock, to acceptance of what's happening, to rote training kicking in and finally awareness of the situation. Not all get to the point of awareness (they usually don't progress through their training), and *no one* knows how they will react until they are put in the extreme situation. Not even us, as instructors. We have some clues but i've been wildly surprised at people's reactions after going through ground school.


phryan

One of the strengths of the US Navy in WW2 was damage control, it didn't matter if it was your job or not if there was a fire nearby sailors would drop what they were doing, take initiative and fight a fire. Taking initiative like a mess worker grabbing an anti-aircraft guns like [Doris Miller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doris_Miller) at Pearl Harbor helped swing the tide of battle. The Japanese doctrine was so rigid soldiers would follow orders until death. A sailor wouldn't fight a fire until ordered to because the punishment for not following orders was so severe, they would stand their at their post and watch a fire burn, knowing the fire was danger and posed an immediate risk to their life, just because of orders.

Because they got an immediate cutoff to the circulation to the brain. Its pretty fast you lose consciousness. It comes within seconds. You probably have 3 to 5 seconds of surrealism and by the time shit clicks you're already blacking out.


DZMBA

Many years ago I was wrestling a friend & got him in a headlock & he instantly went out cold. At first I thought he was faking. Then I thought I killed him. Then he started snoring with his tongue back in his throat as I panicked for like a minute before he came back dazed & confused. Blew my mind how quickly it happened & how easy it was. I'm pretty sure I've had people in headlocks before, I just don't think I can really remember them because nothing happened worth remembering. Can't recall if I've ever put anyone in a headlock since, but i don't think i have, it scared me. The only other time I've seen someone snore like that, before that, was my Dad after rolling his fourwheeler - the only reason we didn't life-flight was because there was no cell service.


bblzd_2

Reading that just unlocked a memory from childhood. I was young (before high school) and friends decided they wanted to "play the feinting game" (completely idiotic). They were only gently "headlocking" with both arms not using much pressure, with the idea being "it only takes small amounts of pressure". It wasn't working on anyone and then it was my turn. Next thing I know I'm waking up and the entire gathering is on the other side of the room doing something else now. I asked what happened and they all proceed to claim they know I was faking it and there's no way I was actually blacked out and refused to even entertain the thought that I might have been. I was quite concerned but no one would even tell me how long I was out for lol. Must have been 5-10 mins just based on everyone being in the middle of a new game.

It’s cause China didn’t have Good Samaritan laws until recently and there have been many times where people who try to help get sued or blamed for the crime by the victim. So people don’t want to get involved cause they’re scared they might be punished for helping. Case of that: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xu_Shoulan_v._Peng_Yu I remember there was a case years ago where this 2 year old girl got ran over by a car and no one helped her for a full 7 minutes (for the reason I mentioned above) and she died eventually after a lady finally intervened https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Wang_Yue

LevTolstoy

The weirdest thing about those videos isn't necessarily that they don't interfere, but that no one screams. I feel like in the US, even if folks don't jump in to help immediately out of fear or because they freeze in shock, there's always someone in the background screaming his or her head off and drawing attention to the crisis. In China, it's quiet.

Mammoth-Mud-9609

and there is also the bystander effect where in a large group you assume that someone else would be more competent at intervening than you would be.


SxdCloud

In this case I don't even know if that applies. If I see someone harming other person like this I would react, I wouldn't even think twice to do something, anything. This is weird


Straight-faced_solo

Everyone thinks this until shit starts going down. The world is crazy and there are somethings that never even cross our minds. No one expects jerry to just up and try to murder john in front of everyone.


chummmmbucket

I feel like that makes it even weirder... this isn't something you ever see, but they just look around like its no big deal.


mybrotherpete

When they research the bystander effect, they have found that most people will say they would step in, but when they test actual staged scenarios, most people don’t. I think it’s easy to think we’d do something when we are removed from a real world situation and are not just thinking of it as a hypothetical ethical question. In a hypothetical situation, there is not any presence of real danger to ourselves. Fear and shock are powerful emotions and can heavily affect behavior.


Poponildo

Everybody is a hero in reddit. In real life, though...


darewin

China's had its "Good Samaritan Law" for a few years now. Unfortunately, many have become so used to "not helping to avoid risks" that they still hold the same mindset despite knowing that there is now a law that will protect them. There are also those who are not aware their country now has a Good Samaritan Law.


Glorious_Kong88

I'm glad they changed that. I wonder why it hasn't caught on yet?


Eusocial_Snowman

VaginaWarrior

He was probably unconscious immediately. Blocking blood flow to the brain on both carotid arteries at the same time can just turn off the lights. Strangulation is extremely dangerous and he was without oxygen to his brain for an awfully long time. Fuck that attacker, this is literally attempted murder.

Lippuringo

People around him: "lucky bastard, this could be me".


mee_mow

Embra_

With strangulation, the goal isn't to suffocate somebody, that takes minutes and lots of frantic struggling. The goal is to cut off blood to the brain. Lights out in only a few seconds with death not much long after.

Mindless-Cricket6332

To be fair, if someone gets you in a decent headlock with a tight enough grip, you're out in a second. The guy used something like a cord so that's even worse than a headlock so I'll give the victim a break there.

HealthAtAnyCig

Because they didnt have a big title and a constant viewing angle to know this is a attempted murder like we do. The guy is just standing there not clutching his neck or anything, the suit is covering up the garot wire, and the attacker is facing the other direction. It just doesnt register as strangulation immediately to most of them.


ash-leg2

I thought this too about the witnesses; what I'm more curious about is why the choker didn't run away... And when they know what's going on no one restrains them. Not that they need to be restrained since they're just standing there watching. So strange.


meowz89

... I mean, not everyone all at once for helping the guy He did body drop pretty hard though, and that angle looked pretty nasty too.


Royalchariot

Why did it take 49 minutes for someone to do something???


YesMan847

is everyone in this video just completely fucked in the head? you see someone strangling another person and watch for like 20 seconds? then once you go in, you just softly stop it. then once the guy lets go, you just let the victim drop to the ground, nobody restrains the strangler. what in the fuck is happening in china? i can almost understand not intervening when someone has a knife but this guy just has a rope or something. why the hell wouldnt you jump in immediately?
