We aren't kidding when we say this will mess with your head.
Has anyone ever seen The Death of Mr. Lazarescu? It's an amazing, very, very dark "comedy" about a man who is ill and tries to seek medical treatment, only to be delayed, denied, and dead by the end of the film. (If anyone thinks we're giving away anything, they obviously did not read the name of the film carefully.)
This police surveillance video depicts what is clearly one of the craziest examples of (in)humanity ever documented in the YouTube era and a real-life Lazarescu moment...
After a seventy-eight-year-old man was hit by one of two street racers driving erratically on the wrong side of the road.
Pedestrians gawk but do nothing. One driver stops briefly but then pulls back into traffic. A man on a scooter slowly circles the victim before zipping away.
The victim, Angel Arce Torres, was in critical condition in Hartford Hospital. Authorities say he is paralyzed.
See the three-minute video, which ends with the police finally responding to the scene... by coincidence only, having been on another call...
