Should We Be Shaming the Woman Who Saw a Fatal Car Crash and Walked Away Eating Pizza?

102. Recently I drove past a scene where a

car was upside down in the ditch, no emergency vehicles near, and only two cars had stopped to help. Scene could not have been two minutes old.

I stopped and got out, there was a man laying on the car, peering in window, talking to and comforting the driver - a woman standing nearby said 911 had already been called they were on their way.

I am not strong enough to pull the victim out of the wreckage, I have zero tools that will help cut her free, I have zero medical training, standing there wringing my hands solves nothing, making one more call to 911 isn't going to bring them to the scene any faster, and having my car parked by the scene just takes room away from EMT's when they get there.

I got back in my car and went on my way. I made all those assessments and the decision to leave in less than 30 seconds.

Perhaps as someone else mentioned, the pizza eater looks at the scene, sees people are already rushing over, phones are being pulled out, and if not medically trained she figures she has nothing additionally useful too add to the scene - and has enough respect for human dignity to not just stand there and gawk - so she kept moving.

Perhaps she was drunk as shit, half of what she's seeing doesn't even register.

Perhaps she's an unmitigated, self-absorbed asshole. Buts let's not assume that's the only possible explanation for her actions.
