I am shocked that anyone would have just driven around him to begin with!

Did the driver give him a ride? Hmm, he should had taken his car key in case this was a carjacking situation.

How can something that should be considered common decency be labeled as "humanitarian".

To me being a humanitarian is going above and beyond the norm for the benefit of those in need. Volunteering at a shelter or raising money for the needy.

Helping a fallen person with crutches off of a busy roadway should just be expected.

Just so that you know the passenger was saying "common, drive around him. what are you doing? don't stop".

I'm guessing this is in Russia and there are a lot of scam artists out there. I wouldn't say those people who went around him are assholes. Just saying.

I've not pulled over for people on the side of the highway with hazards on, but it's hard to imagine myself not stopping for some poor soul like this on a city street.

i do the same thing when I have my dash camera on

My dad told me a story about when he was young, a guy was laying in the street like he was hurt/dead.

And back then people were doing that, once people would get out to check on them someone else hiding in a bush or behind something would run out and steal the car.

When you turned around to look for the car, guy on the ground would either hop up and beat the hell out of you with something, or hop on a bike/motorcycle and be on their way before you'd notice.


My grandfather had one of those big boat cars with the huge and noisy motors. He floored it going at this guy and those cars would do 80+mph in second gear and burn rubber when shifting into third...guy in the street hopped up and started running shortly after he heard them speed up. He told my dad, his thinking was that if the guy didn't move when he heard it..he was probably dead or too hurt to save anyway. He was a WW2 vet and didn't take much shit from people.

In this video, it's probably OK since there's so many cars around and people to see what happens that they wouldn't be able to beat you to death right then and there. But on a back street, I would not stop my car in a place where I could be blocked in if I saw a kid or adult laying in the middle of the road especially if there were hiding places on the sides.

Jesus, I wouldn't even consider carjacking. We've only just started to get those warning emails talking about it, it's so new/rare here. I really do need to become less trusting and that is bloody depressing

It's been in some television shows too. I think Southland had an episode where some kid would throw his bike on the ground and make like the people hit him or someone had hit him. Then they'd either take the car or steal whatever they could out of it while people were checking on the kid.

Kid really can't be prosecuted since he's a minor, and.......good luck on the rest.

Soon as it's on TV, it seems like you start to see those kind of crimes in the news. Not sure if it's new awareness of it, a surge in the crime, or it catching people's eye because it seems kind of fantastic since it was on television.

And there's another less obvious crime that this video made me think back to with the guy in the street being on crutches.

People faking disabilities for quick cash. Homeless people do it.....I've got a funny story about this I'll stick at the end of this comment. And there are people who go around with these little US flags with a piece of paper on it that shows sign language, and it might be legitimate in some cases. But they show up in fast food joints and go out to the tables, throw out some sign language and point to the paper and another that asks for donations...then give you a little plastic flag and leave quickly. They don't have any kind of charity affiliation that you can see....

And the homeless guy story. My dad and his cousin worked at the GM factory. The cousin used to give guys money because they'd claim they didn't have enough money to eat (lunch money basically) because they didn't make enough. And even after my dad pointed out that they make the same or more than both of them do, he still felt sorry for them. Well this changed when my dad showed him the "homeless" guy that would sit out in front of the plant during their shift changes. He was older maybe 50-60 and would tell them how bad it was for him and probably get 10-30 bucks each shift change, in the early to mid 70s. One day the cousin gave him a buck and my dad laughed at him, and this cousin is kind of a hotheaded guy so he accuses my dad of being a heartless prick, etc. So my dad gets him to walk with him to the edge of the building and he points out a nice caddy sitting there idling WITH A DRIVER, and tells him to check for that car every day that "homeless" guy is around. The days he wasn't out during shift change, the car was not there. The days he was there, car was sitting out there idling. The guy made enough money by panhandling at the GM plant to hire a driver to drive him around and was there nearly every day the plant was open....getting money from the workers and very few ever caught on. Got some other "homeless" people stories, but this one is by far the best I've ever heard.
