Horrifying as it is, I'm very glad that it was caught on surveillance so the drivers could be punished. I'm also glad that it has been discussed by Chinese citizens. Hopefully they will take something away from this accident. Not to single out Chinese citizens, I'd say the same if this occurred in America, Venezuela, or any other country.  I do wonder, however, how this situation is legally handled in China vs America.

ETA: I read the rest of the article, and found just what I expected:

"But others linked the incident to an earlier case in which a man who tried to help an elderly woman after she fell over was prosecuted, apparently because his intervention broke government rules on dealing with accident victims."
^ Because certainly stopping next to her and calling for help would break rules. No one had to even touch her, they could have shouted for help and kept her from being run over again. (not arguing with you, Roro, commenting on people)

That was insane.


Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

People with true credibility and integrity don't need to tell other people how great they are. They also don't need to belittle other people to feel superior.
