Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax’s last act may have been helping a woman who was having an argument with another man last Sunday morning in Queens. But his last hour or so was spent as a curiosity for people passing him on the street as he lay face down in blood after being stabbed several times.
Mr. Tale-Yax, 31, was pronounced dead by medical workers who responded to a 911 call around 7:20 a.m. on April 18. The police confirmed the authenticity of surveillance video on The New York Post’s Web site that shows dozens of people walking by Mr. Tale-Yax, who was homeless, lying on the sidewalk at 144th Street and 88th Road in Jamaica. After more than an hour, the video shows one man shake Mr. Tale-Yax before turning him over to reveal the wounds.

Can we blame this on Obama yet?
Welcome to the Great Society, citizens.

What kind of human being can walk past another human in need? Truly disgusting. We, as a Race, are probably in the End Days. It's probably for the better if God sweeps us from the Earth and starts again.

Not the first time this has happened in Queens.

Yeah, the cited instance was in 1964, but it runs deep there.

There was an incident in one of the east coast cities last year where a pedestrian was hit by a car, and lay in the street as other people walked by and drove by.

I'm sure that more than one passerby had a cell phone. 911 calls are free. FFS, it doesn't take but a minute or so to place a call and at least get some help to a bad situation.
