NEW YORK - Video from a surveillance camera at a Brooklyn hospital shows a woman dying on the floor of a psychiatric emergency room while people nearby ignore her.

The video was released Monday by lawyers suing Kings County Hospital alleging neglect and abuse of mental health patients at the facility.

The video shows the 49-year-old woman keeling over and falling out of her chair on June 19 and lying facedown on the floor, then thrashing before going still. About an hour passed before someone realized what was happening and tried to help.

Elect different Congresspeople and Senators. A few years back, a court ruled that the national match system was a violation of antitrust laws. Congress promptly changed the law to make an exception for the national match system. The judge was a tad pissed, and recommended to the group which had brought the suit that they re-file it under a different legal theory. Not sure exactly where that stands at this point.

It does not matter what color the ignorant person happens to be

Really?

It sure mattered to these folks:

You need to get out and see the world beyond wherever it is you are comfortably ensconced. Race, ethnicity, religion....they all matter and folks have always died for it. And probably always will no matter how much you'd like to nobly think otherwise.

The only thing that's changed is that whites have been browbeaten with guilt to be willing victims of bigotry while the rest of the world's races whistle past the graveyard and blame whites (the West) for all their own shortcomings..

I just wonder if whites will be willing to continue this into oblivion. The only group I've seen that resists it are Eastern Europeans but they are new to the guilt game, so we'll see.
