It's quite sad.
Yes it is sad that you are a racist, ageist BIGOT. Probably a Trudeau LOVER also. Detroit has a race problem. That is why it has such high violent crime. It is relevant to this story.

Why would they look to save this guy at 2:00am from this lunatic? if you were in their shoes you would have done the same. Stop trying to make this horrific incident into some uncaring bystander issue, it's not.
They need to find this rabid animal and put him down.

You have no idea who I am, or what I would have done, duke.

This IS a bystander issue. After they initially dissuaded the murderer, everyone walked away. Like, problem solved.

This has nothing to do with how culpable the murderer is; it also has to do with how culpable bystanders are, once the murderer has left, to lend help.

We all get it. The murderer is a murderer.

Ultimately, that's my takeaway as well. I won't watch the video, stories like this are all too commonplace, and it's a reflection of our society, our attitude, our politics, and ultimately our lack of values. If we will kill hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's for no reason, why are we surprised when Americans are murdered for no reason?

Race and racism are talked about because it’s still a big problem. Crime and hate rhetoric related to racism is higher than its been in years. That’s just a fact.
Bull.

S--t.

What are you basing that on?

I'm basing that on the video, and the story.

From the article in the OP:

"A witness was able to pull the man off of Tyler, and the man even appeared to try to swing at that witness. Then everyone but Tyler walked away as they left him to die".

How much clearer can this be?

Yep, I would not go into any area of Detroit at 2 am if I had to.
