The death of an 85-year-old man who reportedly succumbed to hypothermia after falling and spending nine hours sprawled and ignored on a bitterly cold street in central Paris has prompted grief, anger and incredulity in France and beyond.

According to his friend the journalist Michel Mompontet, Robert fell over on Rue de Turbigo, between the Place de la République and Les Halles.

“He suffered a dizzy spell and fell,” Mompontet said in a series of tweets. “Unable to get up, he lay rooted to the spot in the cold for nine hours until a homeless person called the emergency services. Too late. He had hypothermia and couldn’t cling on to life. Over the course of those nine hours no passerby stopped to check why this man was lying on the pavement. Not one.”

Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold,

Western hypocrisy at its finest.

They chant human rights all day long while advocating saving the earth and animals but this is the result.

this huan ish called bystander effect.

in many countries happen before, a big group of strangers see something wrong and assume someone else will report.

end up no one do anything. one whole trainful of ppl can watch a woman get murdered. a whole bridge of ppl can watch an uncle freeze and die.



Singapore also got mah

so action plan ish ... don't assume someone ese will call for help. apply CPR techniques, ask if the person is ok, then point to another bystander and arrow them call ambulance, get water, get AED etc

With omicron ravaging the city, no one dared to go close to a stranger lying on the streets
