    Woman left to die on shop floor [^] SHOPPERS in a US convenience store stepped over a woman dying from stab wounds with one stopping only to take a picture on a mobile phone.

      While I have no answer for what has happened, I have a question of my own to ask the masses here. The victim's name is LaShanda while the assailant is named Cherish. What the fuck is going on nower days, do parents grab a handful of scrabble letters and throw them on the floor to make a name while others read a dictionary. A good friend of mine named their daughter Destiny late last year, I couldn't say it for the first 6 months. It's a fucking word not a name. People wonder why some children grow up to bash their parents, have a look at some of their names. They shouldn't just be let off the charges some should be rewarded for bashing morons.

        No :nausea: Doesn't the offence of "non-assistance to a person in danger" exist in the US?

          5. I also get pissed off when people re-spell normal names in a stupid way like Allyson. The Dilbert newsletter once reported a woman calling her little girl "Ampersand", and when questioned, she said "I don't know what it means, but it's a lovely name for a girl". :rolleyes:

            I don't know about the US, but I've never heard of such a charge. I would imagine it only applies to someone whose job it is to help people. However, if it were obvious to a reasonable person that the victim would die, some sort of manslaughter charge may be possible.

              Wasnt it Oscar Wilde who described the US as "one big, uneasy, refugee camp"? Anyway, that statement seems to reflect the social tension of the US, and its lack of social glue.

                I guess the issue here is that LaShanda was black.

                  Here, if you let someone in danger without reacting, you can be fined, even jailed according to the circumstances.

                    You cant prosecute on inaction. Inaction does not consitute cause. Other wise the whole world would be fucked. The most you can do is shake your sorry head and wonder at the state of the world.

                      That is what played against her. If she were white, blood coming out of the wound would have been better to see from the first angle because of better contrast (white vs. red); since she was black, the guy had to take the shot from the other site otherwise you would not have seen the blood on the picture.

                            Don't you think that is a bit much. Since this incident clearly happened in a black community within Wichita, would you be as willing to make such a generically negative comment about them, as about the US itself?

                              And another perfect example of how those who fanatically defend the larger Islamic community againt the actions of a "few", miss no opportunity to use any isolated incident to categorize an entire population when it comes to the US. Fucking hypocrits.

                                You can misconstrue that as a general comment on the U.S./black community if you like. I simply meant it in the context of why this woman was left there and ignored. I lived in the U.S. for only a brief period of time, thus you would be more qualified than myself to generalize that statement.

                                  All involved were African American; not exactly a demographic known to be of the "Red State" persuasion. [^] Maybe no one helped because her male companion (who vanished before help arrived) said she needed none. Or maybe because they knew the store clerk had called police already.

                                        I don't get it, why is the ethnicity relevant? :confused:

                                        Why is 'red state' relevant?
