What is wrong with our country?

OK, I cannot understand this at all. I am going to put a story below, and let you see what I am worked up about.

Kansas Store Video Captures Five Shoppers Stepping Over Dying Stabbing Victim

As stabbing victim LaShanda Calloway lay dying on the floor of a convenience store, five shoppers, including one who stopped to take a picture of her with a cell phone, stepped over the woman, police said.

The June 23 situation, captured on the store's surveillance video, got scant news coverage until a columnist for The Wichita Eagle disclosed the existence of the video and its contents Tuesday.
Police have refused to release the video, saying it is part of their investigation.

"It was tragic to watch," police spokesman Gordon Bassham said Tuesday. "The fact that people were more interested in taking a picture with a cell phone and shopping for snacks rather than helping this innocent young woman is, frankly, revolting."

The woman was stabbed during an altercation that was not part of a robbery, Bassham said. It took about two minutes for someone to call 911, he said.

Calloway, 27, died later at a hospital.

Two suspects have been arrested. A 19-year-old woman was charged with first-degree murder. Another suspect who turned himself in had not been charged as of Tuesday, the Sedgwick County prosecutor's office said.

The district attorney's office will have to decide whether any of the shoppers could be charged, Bassham said.

It was uncertain what law, if any, would be applicable. A state statute for failure to render aid refers only to victims of a car accident.

Eagle columnist Mark McCormick told The Associated Press he learned about the video when he called Wichita Police Chief Norman Williams to inquire about a phone call he had received from a reader complaining about a Police Department policy that requires emergency medical personnel to wait until police secure a crime scene before rendering aid. McCormick said Williams then unloaded on him about the shoppers in the stabbing case.

"This is just appalling," Williams told the newspaper. "I could continue shopping and not render aid and then take time out to take a picture? That's crazy. What happened to our respect for life?"

What the hell is going on in America? We have over 12 million illegal aliens here, and most people say nothing while the middle class and below suffer due to the unfair wage compression which is only boosting illegal business practices. Our border patrol is getting arrested for doing their jobs while drug smugglers are protected when they come across our border. Now, a girl gets stabbed and people just step over her to get their candy bars?????

I usually never say this, but are we on an express train to the end times? My dear God, has human life become so cheap that our daily life doesn't have room to even call 911 for someone bleeding to death on a store floor? Oh, and this isn't New York or California where this happened, but in our Heartland of the country. Kansas?

Now add this to the fact that a short while ago a man was dragged out of a car and killed by a mob in Texas while being a passenger. The driver hit a girl who ran out in front of the car, but they killed the passenger. No one tried to stop the people.

What is going to come out next? Are there people who knew Cho was going to shoot up VA Tech but just got their video camera out to tape?

People, you need to wake up to what is going on. You need to stand up and stop this kind of thing from happening. Do not tell me it is the Police Departments job to protect us because these people didn't even call them! If you do not do for yourself and others, no one else will!
