“86%” of Chinese Would Help Crushed Girl

china-girl-crushing-1.jpg

China has been revolted by the callous and repeated hit-and-run crushing of a little girl and the subsequent unwillingness of passers-by to so much as acknowledge her bloodied body lying in the middle of the road, but according to surveys some 86% of Chinese claim they would help such an accident victim.

In a pathetic attempt to salvage a hero from the incident a media circus has erupted around the only woman to help the girl – despite the fact she wants nothing to do with any fame arising from an act of kindness she regards as a matter of course.

There are mixed reports over what actually happened to the girl – reports range from death to recovery, although the consensus now appears to be that she is brain-dead and in critical condition, with massive injuries and poor chances for recovery. The two motorists who ran over her have since been arrested.

Chinese media has expressed moral outrage, although widely publicised cases where good Samaritans have been forced to pay the medical costs of the people they helped or accused of actually injuring them in the first place have been highlighted as a partial explanation for the evident moral vacuum which is mainland China.

Online, the reaction to the incident is mainly one of outrage, although if the results of one survey of Internet users conducted on a major Chinese portal are to be believed, the majority of Chinese would actually help such a victim:

china-girl-crushing-3.jpgCall the police: 66.4%

Unhesitatingly help them and call for help from those around: 19.5%

I’d be afraid of being accused of perpetrating the crime, so I’d flee immediately: 6.9%

Wouldn’t know until I was there: 3.8%

Leave the frightening place immediately: 2.2%

Just stand around and watch: 0.6%

Pretend not to be interested and just stand around and watch: 0.6%

According to police, the girl was ignored by 18 passers-by before being helped – some simple application of probability theory suggests that with an 86% chance of someone assisting in some way, the chances of being ignored by 18 successive people are rather low, so either the girl was incredibly unlucky or the survey respondents incredibly deluded or dishonest…

    Survey says 86%...

    Video camera says 1/19, so about 5%

    what people say is not what people do...

    surveys like this are pointless... they're just trying to justify themselves of a crime they are guilty with these nonsensical actions like surveys, interviews and research shit.

    "get out there and do something about it!" is what I feel that needs to be reinforced.

    WRONG, Surveyor would definitely help out, because if you watch the complete news. you will understand why so many people voted yes.

    The auntie that saved the children has been given $3,000 USD as a reward for saving that children. ALOT OF PEOPLE WAS REGRETED NOT HELPING THE CHILDREN

    Its more like that they didnt want to deal with the people they helped suing them instead.
    Thanks to greed, no good deed goes unpunished.
    The least they could do was call for professional help like the ambulance.

    It really is about getting involved and getting sued. It happens everywhere, mostly in AMERICA, good Samaritans help people who are about to die, near death or about to be injured. Instead of being grateful someone risked their life to drag their sorry ass out of a burning car, the person does a 360 and sues the Samaritan for a bruise, broken arm, cut, etc.

    For all those people who passed up the little girl knew, the parents were waiting to spring the trap and accuse them of harming the child, with every other eyewitness turning away so as not to get involved themselves.

    Most states have solidly defined "Good Samaritan" laws in effect. In some states, you can actually be cited for failing to help.
    Sure they my still try to sue, but the chances of them seeing little more than huge legal bills and zero reward are very high.

    To me, it looked like the 2nd guy was the biggest monster. He clearly backed up, just so he could take his time crushing the hell out of her, as if it were some half-dead animal by the side of the road, like a rabbit or a dog(even then I'd be disgusted as hell).

    I know it's probably not the case, but hopefully he tried to slow down just to kill her and put her out of her misery.
    It's very sad that it happened, but keeping a poor brain dead child alive is quite cruel. She'll never recover from this.

    I wanted to ram those fuckers' van and truck with my suburban 4x4 that or a bus which I also have access to until they'd need the jaws of life to extract them.
    Of course being China there probably would be no jaws of life they'll end up using a sawzall.

    That or just shoot them in the knee caps with a colt .45 1911 or a shot gun with a slug.
    Why these weapons simple they have a big slow bullet which would do all kinds of nasty damage.

    Watching the video (without the blur) - her arms are up, begging for help. That 2nd TRUCK turned towards her... he did it on purpose and flashed her lights!

    They should RUN over him with his own truck and let him crawl his own way to a hospital.

    i prefer skinning them alive. turn all their otherwise "salvagable" women and turn them into an egg cell manufacturing whores. after that, use their children as test subjects in car crashes, plane impact or the best part-- animal feed. burn their heritage and culture to the ground, hunt all chinese like animals...just like the witch hunt back in the dark ages. if we go modernized, we can use heavy vehicles to crush their bodies while other chinese watch as their fellow chinese scream in agonizing pain. how's that? do i need to add more?

    Apathy just seems to run deep in China where there's too much of an emphasis on base survival for everyone due to the deep divide of economic classes, too many citizens to take care of and people seem to largely live more for survival. I can't blame that too much, but that's where apathy comes in.

    That said, Sankaku as a site is just ridiculous to me right now. It's just fostering the same kind of hate and outrage again and again in the same way the UK Sun or other tabloids are prone to do. I can agree to the outrage and all, but this again? And the community is pretty much copying the negativity by being massive trolls themselves. I've seen the same crap happen to Reddit, 4chan, 2ch, Destructoid, etc. Oh well. Typical Internet.

    You made the exact same argument as the press did when attempting to explain the murder of Kitty Genovese. Only, replace "China" with "New York City" or "people who live in big cities."

    I can't decide whose worse, the first guy who realized her hit her, stopped, and then rolled over her again to escape, or the second guy who clearly saw her, for some reason seemed to think getting where he was going was more important, and fucking ran over her legs while making a feeble attempt to go around her.

    I just.. I can't even imagine. Were they really so stupid that they were thinking "Well I need to get down this road, I'm not sure I should stop."

    Hope that something will make the other passberby feel low life and surrender themself too.

    China leads the world in executions, even after you adjust for population. They executed the CEO of the company responsible for the tainted milk scare, they executed the driver that ran over the guy in Inner Mongolia and they'll execute these two assholes. They execute anyone that makes their country lose face and in this case, rightfully fucking so.

    I thought the bystander effect has only been shown with people who look homeless and/or people not bleeding profusely. Not stopping to help a 2 year old bleeding on the ground is in a whole different realm.

    Doesn't matter the age or what the person looks like. Some people just don't give a shit. On the other hand, it may just be that they haven't done studies for different ages, then people may be more inclined to help, especially with little kids. But even still...it's understandable to not want to touch the injured kid whether it squicks you out too much or moving her might cause more pain, but leaving her to die without even asking for help is fucked. What's more fucked up is the fact that locals saw her mangled body, blood and all and passes it by like common roadkill. And stop the China hate. Sure, thier community is messed up. So is every other place in one way or another. The exploding things have become really sad. Japan is just as messed up as we've seen, if not more so.
