America needs to wake up

I was just checking the news on my Favorite hate news site. Fox News. When I saw this article. The indifference of Americans to the suffering in our own country. I am mad the people who could have made a simple call to 911 and maybe saved this mans life. Here's the report of the Article. By the New York Post.



Homeless 'Hero' Ignored While Dying on NYC Street

Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax had jumped to the aid of a woman attacked on 144th Street at 88th Road in the borough of Queens last Sunday, and was stabbed several times in the chest and collapsed as he chased his assailant.


A heroic homeless man, stabbed after saving a Queens woman from a knife-wielding attacker, lay dying in a pool of blood for more than an hour as nearly 25 people indifferently strolled past him, a shocking surveillance video obtained by the New York Post reveals.

Some of the passers-by paused to stare at Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax last Sunday morning and others leaned down to look at his face.

He had jumped to the aid of a woman attacked on 144th Street at 88th Road in Jamaica, Queens, at 5:40 a.m., was stabbed several times in the chest and collapsed as he chased his assailant.

In the wake of the bloodshed, a man came out of a nearby building and chillingly took a cellphone photo of the victim before leaving. And in several instances, pairs of people gawked at Tale-Yax without doing anything.

Later, another man stopped, leaned over and vigorously shook Tale-Yax’s body. After lifting the victim’s head and body to reveal a pool of blood, he also walked off.

Not until some 15 minutes after he was shaken by the pedestrian -- more than an hour and 20 minutes after the victim collapsed -- did firefighters finally arrive and discover that Tale-Yax, 31, had died.

Firefighters were responding to a 911 call of a non-life-threatening injury at 7:23 a.m. when they found his body.
