From the (very short) article: A witness to an accident noted that ”between 30 and 40 people gathered around the woman and began recording the incident on their phones.
She [the witness] described the situation as sickening and very sad.”
Such are the times we live in, I suppose.
Edit: The same source, different story, mentions that last year, a bill was being discussed that would prohibit many such recordings:
There is something very wrong with the people who are filming these type of incidents
As if staring at others misfortune isn’t bad enough!!! Wtf is wrong with these people!!
Fucking ghouls doing this
The new bystander syndrome.
I was in a car crash once. Was at the side of the road on a ditch, dazed and obviously injured. My only memory was of people in their cars driving past slowly, nearly falling out of their cars trying to get a look. Were they hoping to see a dead body?! What’s the point?
I recall a few years ago a crash in Waterford, I think a little girl died in it. Apparently loads of people were standing around filming, driving by and filming as the fire brigade tried to open the wreckage. The fire brigade put out a furious post on Facebook not long after rightly criticising people for their actions.
It’s so vile. What do they get out of it? The little dopamine hit of feeling important when someone shares or reacts to their video?
Video sharing sites have destroyed peoples values, it’s all about the views and likes, people recording accidents or people filming pranks where they walk into peoples houses or get people mad to get a reaction, fucking scum
If we’re urging people, we might do well to urge people to film if it’s useful as evidence later. Obviously if emergency services are already there, it’s pure voyeurism. Personally, I’d pull out my phone and start filming the voyeurs….
A: What are you watching there?
B: Just a video of a dead body I saw earlier today. Wanna see?
Everyone already knows they shouldn’t. Telling them they shouldn’t won’t change anything
Can confirm this is a huge problem. Had to provide medical care to someone who had a very nasty accident in a pub once. Fire brigade, ambulance called type job.
I was trying to stop the person bleeding out, staff trying to clear pub and yet ***** were standing over me and the poor fella, filming us with their phones and spilling their pints on us.
People are clowns.
Interestingly if Sora and AI in general make videos so real that you cannot tell the difference it may stop these ghouls from videoing all the time, as reality recorded would stop being believed
I know a fella who was at the scene of a fatal accident before. I think it gave him some form of PTSD or *something*. He described it as he seen a car being over turned on fire, and there was just a little hand slowly grasping harshly into a fist that could be seen through the window. He was very not the same for some time after it. I can’t imagine wanting to record something like that.
At an RTC yesterday and it baffled me the amount of people who were trying to record us cut the person from a car. The guards quickly moved them along to be fair
Social media is turning people into absolute desensitised validation seeking fuckwits.
What a time to be alive. (Yes I realise the irony of posting on a forum) But there’s a difference.
If the natural reaction for people when someone has been hurt is to take out their phones and start recording rather than assist and comfort someone in distress, humanity has a huge problem on its hands.
Shame on these people. Absolute shame.
The fact people have to be told this is bad enough
Imagine being involved in an accident, potentially seriously injured and at the most vulnerable you could be, and some piece of human filth thinks it’s a bit of entertainment to be filmed, treating your pain as some sort of show, like you were an animal or something. People like that need their phone smashed off the ground, and I’d love to see it happen more with shit like this.
I like the video of the guy caught filming an accident getting absolutely slated by the emergency services on the scene.. brought him out of the car and called him out on his bullshit.. gards, should start doing this.. you start filming an accident, etc, you get humiliated for a video and posted online.. see how you like it
A very good friend of my family died tragically in an accident here a number of years back. He was in his car, parked in a designated spot when a car came flying around a corner and hit him.
A man living a few houses up sold his CCTV of the accident to every paper who was willing to take it.
By pure fluke, my husband was off work as we had two sick children, or else he would have been sat in the car beside this man (they both coached kids at the same football club) and I likely would have had my husband’s slaughter plastered in video all over social media.
There has to be something wrong mentally for you to want to record something like that, even more so to want to see it!
