Three calls to 911, but why didn't they stop?

That's unreal. Not completely unbelievable given today's society though.

You're not? You should.

Ditto. I wonder if they'd have stopped if they thought they might have known him. Human compassion and social responsibility at it's finest.

But is was "Sunday morning early, he might be drunk or doped up! We don't need that! We are scared we might get robbed, or worse, talked to by a drunk!"

Holy shit...

The people who didn't stop to help are no different than those who sat on a bus in Edmonton, and a bus outside of Brandon and did nothing.

Apathy reigns in Canada.

So you would have thrown yourself at the guy with the big hunting knife on that Brandon bus? I think that's a lot different than just stopping in your car and putting your flashers on.

But, how soon after did that bus get there. By the time you avoid that body in the road, figure out what's going on, you've traveled a ways, would need to turn around and go back. (As you should). Maybe tho, the bus came upon the scene before the first two drivers were able to do this.

Yes I would and I agree. The people in this example were even worse than those who did nothing during each bus incident.



I can't decipher what you are trying to say here. The Edmonton bus incident was passengers watching a bus driver getting beaten within an inch of his life and doing nothing.

I agree with you. There was no one threatening anybody here, so no one would get hurt if you would only have put your car in front of the guy.

I was talking about the bus that hit the guy lying in the middle of the road in this story. I don't know the Edmonton incident.

I'm glad you're such a hero. Have you ever faced a situation such as the Vince Lee thing, or is it all just conjecture and wishful thinking at this point?

Never considered myself a hero, just someone who is willing and able to help those who need help. But if we are going to trade snarky remarks, I'm sorry that you're such a chickensh*t.




Yes I have.

I am a chickenshit - not all that big on sacrificing my life, especially when the odds are against it accomplishing anything except to get myself killed as well.

So you have thrown yourself at a guy with a big knife or gun? Wow.

I'm a little amazed that you find the actions of someone doing something to protect others so awe-inspiring. What a horrible pathetic life you must lead, being afraid to get involved and assist those who need it because you might get an owie.

I'm pretty sure my wife, all 5' 2" is more courageous and tough than you. I hope you never need help and the only people around are like-minded individuals.

Well spout off if you want. But first tell me how you took on a guy with a knife or gun when you had no weapon and were in a constricted space where you could not get a bunch of people to jump him at the same time. Then you can insult me all you want, cause I don't think I would do that. Never know till the time comes tho.

Sorry to be the bad guy here... but how about personal responsibilty.

Was Alexander Borgen Larsen passed out from drinking to much???

I mean, we don't know the reason why he was even there.

It's a shame that the people didn't stop, yes.

Maybe if they passed a "good samaritan law" in BC more people might do just that.

As it stands, if you stop to help someone in BC you can be sued. (sued for not attending to the body on the road, or sued for trying to give first aid)
