Soldier Heads Out on Different Kind of Tour

Last Friday, while crossing a street in Hartford, Connecticut 78-year-old Angel Arce Torres was struck by a car. The driver who hit him fled the scene, but the most shocking thing about this incident was the total lack of response from the numerous witnesses. While the elderly man laid helpless in the middle of the street, no one came to his aid, and no motorists stopped. The people who did eventually venture  toward him seemed to regard the injured man as some kind of curiosity, and Torres remained where the car threw him until a passing police cruiser stopped to help. This is the kind of thing you imagine happening in a war zone, not the Capital City of an American state. What the hell is wrong with those people?  More info—including interviews with some of the assholes who stood by and did nothing—over at the Hartford Courant.
