An elderly man was waiting at a bus stop after grocery shopping. A truck slammed into the bus stop, striking the elderly man. The truck than took off, making this a hit and run. Witnesses hurried to the man, but not to help him...they hurridly picked up his spilled groceries and ran away with them!! The man was no dead on impact, so he was laying there dying, and all anyone did was make off with his groceries. Police are now looking for the hti and run driver, and anyone who stole from the dying man. The man did not survive.

Yeah! I hope the driver turns himself in. And the people that stole the groceries should too. But I bet they are all ashamed! I think it is AWFUL that the truck driver took off, but right now I think the people that stole the groceries should be more ashamed. The driver probably hit the guy on accident and got scared, he might eventually turn himself in after getting a little braver. But the people who stole the groceries knew what they were doing, and they are terrible people!

I know. I just keep feelign so bad for the man, and whatever family he has. The news didn't talk about his family, but I hope he didn't have a wife! Because now that poor elderly lady would have lost her husband in such a terrible, selfish way!

I know. This just made me sick! I can not believe people could do such a terrible, selfish thing! I believe it happened in Arizona. I mean...that's where I live and I saw it on local news...although I wish it didn't happen here! Makes us look TERRIBLE. But I would never ever do something so so horrible!

Yeah. The world needs more good people. I could never do something so awful as this! I just wish there had been one good person that would have helped the man.

That's sick and horrible. I'm shocked, but at the same time, I am not surprised too. It is a manifestation of the wicked world we currently live in, where there are many cold, heartless and exploitative people out there. What if the poor victim was a relative of theirs. Would they have reacted the same way, I wonder?

I agree with you. I was horrified by this! And at first I was just shocked that peopel could do this. But then, like you, I knew that this is exactly how a lot of people are. So the surprise kind of drifted and the anger just grew.

Oh boy... Lily that one makes me want to drink. But I'm holding off. Its just, really... I'm having trouble understanding how people can be like this. Probably cause its so much wrong in this or the fact that when I think more about it I'm not really surprised. Sad, but true. People seem to think driving is the 11th commandment and they don't care what they do just as long as they can keep driving. So the driver is wrong for not only ending up on the bus stop somehow, but for obviously hitting, killing and fleeing the scene. The witnesses are so wrong for not even helping or calling 911, but instead they thought they'd put those brigand lessons to use -_-. Its saddening and at the same time irritating and disgusting.

I feel sad to what happened to that elderly man. There are many people like that in different part of this world. They don't care for the people itself, they care for the things that people will left. I witness that scenario many times. But me,as long as i live, i will be willing to help others in need. That is the only thing i can share in this world.

I agree with you. I could not physically not help someone in need in a situation like this! I can not believe that anyone could see this happen and not help! It is just so awful, sickening.

Oh my goodness what kind of people do something like this? I mean the man is lying there dying and all they can do is steal his food. I hope they find the driver and the thefts.

I know. It is just...the worlds thing I have heard about mankind in a LONG time. I hope everyone is caught. And the people that stole his groceries should be paraded in front of a busy area! I bet that would humiliate them!

It is absolutly true! I have been hating man kind fro a long time too. I wish I could just move to a tropical island with just a bunch of animals! Maybe my best friend...and my crush too lol. But both of them are good people so they wouldn't be bad company. Oh, and I want my nieces to come too! That would make me happy to get away from these crappy people.
