Word to the wise
Don't get hit by a car in Hartford, CT, or you could end up like this poor guy:
Don't you just love the guy crossing the street (probably to get a hot dog) or the Looky Lou on the scooter who makes a loop just to get a better view? Psychologists call it the "diffusion of responsibility" phenomenon, or the "bystander effect," explaining multi-witness paralysis in which people assume someone else will act. That's how a dozen witnesses failed to act during the infamous Kitty Genovese in New York in 1964.
FYI: 911 is a free call on mobile phones.
