WTF is just wrong with this world?
Here's what happened:
- "A group of five teenagers aged 14 to 18 laughed and watched as a man struggled in the water of a pond"
- "The five teenagers did nothing to help him, not even call 911"
- "'He just died!' a voice can be heard saying, as the others begin to laugh"
- They shared the video with friends!
- "In the state of Florida, there is no law in place that requires a person to render aid or call to render aid to a victim in distress"

Despise a life, a human being?
You don't bring yourself into danger but you can at least call 911. Laughing, recording, sharing? WTF?
I don't know what's wrong with young people:
- I think many value the wrong things: likes and views.
- They have extremely low self-esteem if they don't get enough Facebook friends and likes.
- Many don't have any goals in life.
- They have access to violent media all the time and they are confronted with it during the whole day... and they start to don't care anymore.
- What do you think?
How to react?
The teenagers might be charged by a "law requiring that a death be reported". But I think that's probably only a $1,000 charge.
There needs to be a law everywhere that requires people to help. If not they should go to jail for 10 years.
I can't imagine what I would do if this would be my daughter or son. It's just fucking sad what people are able to do...
How would you react?
