The video was shocking in Florida, where shocking videos seem like a genre. A group of teenagers laughed and watched as a man struggled in the water of a pond. The man drowned, and his body was not found for days.
The five teenagers did nothing to help him, not even call 911, but after examining the video, the authorities said this week that they did not break the law.
“In the state of Florida, there is no law in place that requires a person to render aid or call to render aid to a victim in distress,” Yvonne Martinez, a spokeswoman for the Cocoa Police Department, said on Friday.

They are well on their way to being good democrats,

End Times livin’
Proverbs 24:11-12
Deliver those who are drawn toward death,
And hold back those stumbling to the slaughter.
If you say, “Surely we did not know this,”
Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it?
He who keeps your soul, does He not know it?
And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?
They didn’t even call 911.
Which any decent person would do for a dog.
I hope that when you are crying out in desperate need, the people around you don't start laughing like jackasses and cackling, "Madman, smile your */@%%& @$$ off, time to meet your Maker."
In Mississippi there is a law, “Depraved indifference to human life” that ought to have it’s twin in Florida...one would think. These gangstas need to be in jail, in Mexico. Yeah, that’s the ticket, lets outsource jailing thugs to a more compassionate country like Mexico.
Thanks for this.
Just to reinforce the message, another translation has it:
Proverbs 24:11-12 New International Version (NIV)
Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter.
If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not He who guards your life know it?
Will He not repay everyone according to what they have done?
What made you think false piety? My comment didn't leave you wondering whether to laugh or cry? LOL.
A cultural thing. Or maybe they read Dial 911 and Die
I guess that whole depraved indifference to human life is a cultural thing, one that I see metastasizing all around us.
Thank you
