Good for her for being brave enough to try and help him, and doubly brave for speaking out about this now.
They say that the best thing to do, if you have the presence of mind when someone needs help, is to call bystanders out and give them jobs as you’re preparing to give first aid. “You, call 999. You, take over from me when I can’t keep going,” that sort of thing. Seems like these days it might also be worth directing someone to head off people trying to record, too.
It’s sickening.
We live close to a large motorway, every time there’s a major crash, texts get circulated around the housing estate WhatsApp group to warn about an incident (fair enough), but then multiple times *photos / videos are also circulated*.
It’s disgusting and completely emotionally unaware / detached.
How would you feel if that’s you, or your loved one? Or imagine if you found out via that kind of text, not beyond the realms of possibility when an accident is local and ongoing.
One of the many reasons I’m not on said WhatsApp Group (although the wife is).
You’d have to be an absolutely deplorable scumbag to film such a situation. Just total scum of the earth, a drain on society and the species as a whole. I think it should be quite severely penalised, including losing the right to own a camera of any kind, like how hackers and paedos lose their right to own a computer of any kind.
I witnessed the immediate aftermath of a serious stabbing in a public place a few months back – ‘immediate’ as in I made the initial 999 call. I left once the police/paramedics arrived, as it didn’t feel right to just stand there watching. However, within a matter of hours, there were videos all over social media of the poor person being treated by paramedics. You could see a huge crowd of people filming and even live streaming it. I was genuinely appalled.
I was with a friend earlier this year for dinner. We were walking across the river and saw someone being put on a stretcher at the scene of a crash. I had to tell a few people off for filming. People are ridiculous these days.
This is disheartening to see as it’ll only make some people feel put off doing the right thing because a bunch of lazy bystanders need to get that small and temporary dopamine high of taking pictures or recording videos for their socials or kicks.
Helping others from simply helping someone up who has fallen down to someone seriously injured, potentially at death’s door, is stressful and scary enough as it is, without adding the extra pressure of some twit(s) with their phones out being unhelpful.
It really should be the norm that if someone unhelpfully and stupidly tries to do this then the only justifiable action is a swift slap of the device to the ground, because then maybe people would learn a valuable and expensive lesson. Save recording something if it needs to be used as evidence like in a crime, not someone in a vulnerable state.
At work (retail) we had a customer collapse and have a seizure. We had to, along with important stuff like aid and calling emergency services, actively block the area off entirely and prevent customers filming it!
I‘ve seen this happen on the A1. Crashed car on the southbound side, northbound at a standstill because idiots were out of their cars filming the trapped driver being treated by paramedics. Not a brain cell between these people – can you imagine finding out your loved one had been killed or seriously injured because some turnip filmed the horror of their last moments and put it on Facebook?
But you don’t understand. This is great content for their online media accounts. Lots and lots of people like looking at other people’s suffering. It get’s them lots and lots of views, which in turn proves that they are such a popular person, validates them as an online celebrity (think ‘Strictly’, ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ could only be another 50,000 subscriptions/views away) and may also increase the money they can make from advertising revenue. This type of ‘content’ is like gold dust. Popularity and being rich is what we all aspire to be, isn’t it?
