Here is the Sad Reality Of Obamaland!

Lawyer, family: 7-Eleven, bystanders failed assault victim before he died - Chicago Tribune

by   Contact Reporter 4-21-16

Surveillance video released Wednesday captures the last moments of a popular hotel cocktail server who was punched and knocked unconscious, landing in a Near North crosswalk. The footage also shows more than a dozen bystanders failing to come to his aid in the nearly two minutes before a cab accidentally drives over him.


Marques Gaines, 32, died at an area hospital after the incident about 4:20 a.m. Feb. 7 outside a 7 Eleven store in the 400 block of North State Street.
...
Especially troubling for Gaines' family was that bystanders didn't help as he lay in the crosswalk. At least one person believed to be a 7-Eleven employee called 911. Others walked past him without trying to pull him out of the street or block traffic.

Within seconds of the punch, a half-dozen people gathered around Gaines, including two men who appeared to have rifled his pockets. Gaines' family said his cellphone and debit card were stolen. After a minute, the group and his attacker left the scene and as seconds ticked away, individuals and groups of people walked by Gaines without trying to pull him out of the street.
