How do people live with themselves. We don't have THAT big a divide between the ghetto and non-ghetto. Detroit has a Ghetto, an area where you call the police and they won't respond for several hours, no public transportation through the area, it's really the "other side of the tracks". We don't have that here, so it blows my mind that these people can witness such a thing and say nothing at all. It's not like they had to come forward at the scene, they could have easily called in by now if they're afraid for their own safety. |
when people in my area see a crime being committed or even a car accident on the street they hardly think for a moment to stop and help out. i know this is a generalization on my part, but i also base it on a lot of observation just from my own experiences.
i just get a really cold vibe from people up here. my community has changed a lot in the last 20 years. i used to remember a time when the neighbours here actually knew each other. nowadays everyone likes to keep to themselves and not be bothered by external affairs. it's a very selfish attitude, but the reality these days it seems ..
