Yes, that's what he said in some interview with the police.  I can't find the link now.  Absolutely nauseating.

Sometimes I think maybe it wouldn't be so bad if humanity went extinct.  So many of us have forgotten how to be humane.

While I agree that what occurred is awful.......... sadly I can't get all worked up over it

Humans suck...we will eat each other if there is nothing else around to nibble on

Elevated standards of behavior, decorum and values, decency etc are what I refer to as "Full Belly Notions"

"Full Belly" in that we don't get a lot of conceits about what we are,, when our "lifestyle" is reduced to survival desperation.

If one glances at cave paintings they often depict the hunt for food. I doubt those renderings were executed by starving people,

starving people would be out foraging or would be eyeballing the neighboring tribe's stash...

or eyeballing the neighboring tribe as a meal, if food was that scarce.....rather the paintings and intellectual pursuits were the amusements of folks that had a belly-full of food and a warm fire

The preciousness of Life tends to become cheapened as the numbers increase.

Unfortunately the women/females bear the brunt of the burden of insuring the survival of the species as well as the brunt of limiting its numbers. Holds true in all mammals. One male can keep a lot of females pregnant so the number of females is "the problem"  hence the Chinese and Indian female infanticide...actually infanticide has been on-going forever globally.

Clearly the driver saw a threat to his well-being....what he did was primal, it was a mechanical behavior of a fully reducted human creature not a "human being"

Like most things in life....it is better to view them from as great a distance as possible....there is enormous beauty in life... but it resides on the back of enormous ugliness

I can gaze at a mountain ridge and see something of wonder and beauty....I can also imagine or picture the wholesale carnage of nature going on in those hills that makes them forested and green....and pretty......bugs and critters ripping each other to shreds and devouring each other, the rotting remains fertilizing the growth of new things

The shoreline of the ocean is also a great scene of nature's savage imperatives....teeming with life and simultaneously teeming with death....but a blend that is wondrous and fascinating

We are a sad species, but we do have our moments....we can do things that ennoble us above the rest of the foodchain...but those things are more the exception than the rule

Couldn't possibly happen in our modernised western society.

Couldn't possibly happen in our modernised western society.

One of the reasons suggested is that China has no "good Samaritan" laws which protect a person who stops to give help to an injured party.  In the US, you can't be held liable for their injuries if you act reasonably (i.e. you don't attempt CPR if you don't know how to do it..).  There are multiple cases in China of people being sued and paying large amounts to someone who was injured that they stopped to help.

I just feel good that we have given most of our jobs and all of our money to a people that value human life so much

that happened in NYC in Jamaica, Queens..., and the guy was a street-dweller..  no excuse.  but i expect people to react very differently with children.  people should help no matter the victim's status, age or whatnot, but i REALLY expect a different reaction with a 2 year old child!!

What I said.
You  can't tell me that this sort of shit doesn't go on anywhere elese in the world, it just so happens that there was a camera that caught this one, mans inhumanity to man doesn't surprise me any more.
