The vehicles proceeded through a red traffic control signal on Main Street taking a left onto Westbound Park Street. The vehicles crossed the center line, traveling against traffic, in front of 33 Park Street where the Honda struck Mr. Torres.

The video was shot by public cameras funded by public taxes, and should not be allowed to be copyrighted by a private company. This is owned by the Hartford Police, and if they gave the copyrights away they have no right, because it is owned by the public, and paid for by their tax dollar therefore it is in public domain.I posted this video here at YouTube, and I did not put it here for people to bash the United States. I have seen statistics while working on my other website The Association Against Aggressive Driving, and the statistics clearly pointed to the fact that this is a worldwide problem. The two car look to be to be in a chase, and if I had to bet the car in the front most likely cut the car in the back off. This looks to me to be one of those incidents where they said you're not going to get away with this, and because of it this man was seriously hurt. It look to me like the people are coming out of a sidewalk between two buildings, and it probably is a regular place to cross even if there are no lines painted on the road. Their reactions are in some cases slow, but I think that they were most likely shocked by what they see. Lets put the blame where it belongs, and that is the two car that were driving in the wrong side of the road. People have no patience for anybody else on the road these days for the most part, and they have no real concern for anybody's safety. I have been ticked off for years about the lack of concern, and the total lack of traffic enforcement by the police. That is what I started the AAAD online to change thing, so please look it over, and join us. http://www.freewebs.com/associ...

Les États Unis sont dépourvu de système de solidarité, il n'y a pas de social, pas d'aide, c'est marche ou crève. Même si il y a des cons partout, c'est leur société qui est comme ça donc forcement les gens ont une certaine mentalité. Le peuple américain se choque rarement, contrairement au peuple français qui manifeste et s'indigne beaucoup.

Tu sais, je suis pas trop d'accord avec ce que tu dis.. C'est pas les usa qui sont stupides, c'est juste le manque d'humanité de certaines personnes....que malheureusement on trouve partout, même en france.
