Passers-by laugh at Wellington motorcyclist as he dies

[BuzzardNZ]

those ar$eholes are pure scum. I hope they get what they deserve.

[Okey Dokey]

Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful. Condolences to the family and friends. How awful.

[DEATH_INC.]

It makes you wonder what happened in the lead up to the accident.

Yeh, sounds like more than just them had something to say....it does make you wonder what the story was...

[EJK]

Wow so cold

[Genie]

Some of you so crack me up...you sit there in front of you computer screen and pass judgement! Hell I wish I was half as prefect as what you must be.

Highly emotive headline creating the predicable responses.

it's almost as sick as the "alleged" actions of those that they judge

Moderator Warning - racisim is not required in this thread ..

personally I find it disgusting but I think Jonathan sums it up well,

This is no shock, no surprise. No reflection of society today, of attitude towards bikers, or even the facts of the accident. There are some idiots like this out there, even when sober, plain and simple.

I would be surprised if the majority of people on this forum hadn't, at one time or another, heard some fool shout out "Shame!" or laugh at someone elses misfortune. People laughing at homeless people, jeering at prostitutes etc.

These guys couldn't have known that the poor victim was mortally injured. They were just laughing at the fact that he had crashed. This does not excuse their behaviour at all, just shows them for what they are, the empathy lacking brainless putrid scum that occaisionaly floats to the surface.

Wonder how many people condemning the actions of the by standers have something amusing to say when a bike thief crashes and burns?

[Drogen Omen]

this is absolutley disgusting... words can not describe the stupidity of some people...

Karma will take care of the fucktards that laughed at the poor dying man who might have lived had they stopped laughing and called a fuckin ambulance...

wonder what will happen to the dumb ass taxi driver that pulled out in front of him... ??????????????

[Quasievil]

A Lady who nursed the rider after the crash said on Newstalk ZB today, that no one laughed or behaved in any manner that would cause offence, so possibly the whole thing is B.S

In saying that, a few drivers where giving Loosebruce and DSS3 a earful as they where dying, luckily I hadn't arrived at that point otherwise there would have been consequences.

[Paul in NZ]

I think its OK to tell people what you think of their actions but NOT ok to do it if they are critically injured - ie a time and a place for everything as our mothers would have said. I sersiously would doubt that any Maori or PI folks I know would ever behave in that fashion as (well they just wouldnt OK) and I truely hope this is a beat up.

Regardless - what a damn shame and ... well... I dunno... just a damn shame

Sincerely hope this is just media bullshit,thoughts to the poor blokes family.RIP.

Typical of media trying to generate sales.

Ignorant people have been known to behave in an apallingly manner, these young men that jeered may not have realised the seriousness of the riders injuries.

Many years ago I fell off a bike on the side of the road, some young men driving past laughed their arses of at my misfortune. It happens.

I'm sure these jeerers are not laughing quite so hard now.

Very true. People can be just downright cruel at others misfortune. Sad to see anyone lost their life.
