Connecticut hit-and-run: Where have all the samaritans gone?

From AP, via MSNBC:

HARTFORD, Conn. - Police released chilling surveillance video of a hit-and-run accident in hopes of catching the unidentified driver who ran down a 78-year-old pedestrian, paralyzing him, and to show the callousness of bystanders who did nothing to help.

The gripping one-minute video shows the violent May 30 accident and bystanders' apparent lack of sympathy. No one rushes to Angel Arce Torres' aid, and no one bothers to stop traffic as Torres lies motionless in the street.

Police Chief Daryl Roberts said: "At the end of the day we've got to look at ourselves and understand that our moral values have now changed. We have no regard for each other."

The victim, Angel Arce Torres, was paralysed and remains in critical condition in the hospital.
