I was at the gym when I was watching this so I didnt hear what they were saying but Ill recap the best I can from what I read and saw.

One of her "Out in the Open" stories was about a 91 year old man who had his car stolen and the situation was cought on a parking lot camera. A guy came up to him and opened the car door and pinned the old man between the door and the car next to him. Then he slammed the door on his body a couple times. Then he pinned him again and punched him in the head - I kid you not - about 20 times. The guy got in the car and drove away, and in the meantime the old man collapsed on the pavement.

The whole time there were about 4 people two parking spots away that just stood there and did NOTHING.


When I saw this I started tearing up (in the gym, mind you), and I thought I was going to be sick. Theres a lot of stuff on the news that Im immune to, but not stuff like this. I have a strong sense of responsibility towards my fellow human being, and it makes me sick to think that people could watch that happen and not even move.

Whats wrong with people???

Well for one, people watch shit like Paula Zahn and Nancy Grace

In all seriousness though, I saw this video a day or two ago when the story broke and it's definitely pretty fucked up.

Some people are stupid.

I could understand someone trying to break into a car, and passersby not doing anything, because some people forget their keys, and need to break into their own car, lol.

But when someone sees an old man being pinned, and slammed with the car door, obviously something is wrong, and someone should have tried to be a hero.

stupid people

I dont really have an opinion because the only time I watch here is at the gym when theres nothing else on. Is her show usually pretty sensational?

It's just one of those shows that isn't really news at all, it's like a half hour special interest piece half the time, and the other half it tries to be relevant to whatever the BIG story of the day is.

I am not a fan of talking head shows.

I am, however, a fan of the Talking Heads.

if it happens to you, point one person out and ask them for help...if they are wearing like a blue shirt say, hey blue shirt, kick this guys ass!!


that way they feel personally responsible to help you out. otherwise they have others to blame for their inaction.

I don't watch the news.
