WWII Vet Says Nobody Helped
A WWII veteran is attacked by a carjacker and left to crawl his way to safety in plain sight of passersby. What is wrong with people?
Quote:
Brantley told The Associated Press said several people passed by him as he crawled, unable to walk because his leg was broken in the attack. The carjacker knocked Brantley down, took his keys and drove off in his car about 10:40 a.m.
"I was trying to go in ... and see if somebody could call the police and an ambulance because I couldn't stand. I had to crawl — I tried two or three times to get up," Brantley said Saturday. He said he was on way home from Bible study when he stopped to put gas in his 2010 Chrysler 200, which he recently bought to replace another car that had been*stolen.
"People were passing me just like I wasn't there. ... I was crawling and they just walk by me like I'm not there," he*said.
Brantley said as he approached the building, he asked a woman to open the door for him. He said at first it appeared she wasn't going to but she did and then kept walking. He found it distressing that nobody helped*him.
"Any time a person is crawling on the ground, you know something happened to them," Brantley*said.
