You'll have to pardon the first half-minute of this video; I'm not sure either why someone felt it necessary to play the accident back and again, back and again. But everything about this story, which happened in Ningbo last month and was recently publicized, gets better: four women who were passing by immediately went to the victim and tried to resuscitate him.

If You Run Down Two Phone Thieves With Your Car, Does That Make You A Good Samaritan?

If You Run Down Two Phone Thieves With Your Car, Does That Make You A Good Samaritan?
The person who took this video was out with his colleague on Sunday in Tianjin when he saw two men steal a woman's phone and attempt their getaway on a motorcycle.

The chase ends with him knocking down the thieves' motorcycle, but it wasn't exactly mission accomplished. As he writes in the video description: "My colleague and I got out of our car to intercept them, but no one else helped the two of us stop the two thieves, so we couldn't overtake them. Later my colleague and I dialed the police at 110."

Recently in Nanchang, Jiangxi province, a traffic accident has led some people to praise two men for being Good Samaritans, but... pardon me for not completely seeing it. In the video, it looks like the female scooterist knocks herself out when she rams her head into the side of an encroaching vehicle. The man next to her then scoops her off the ground (what happened to stabilizing the neck?), and we're told that he -- along with someone else who stops to help -- hails a taxi to send her to the hospital. Whatever happened to ambulances? Oh well. Thought that counts!

Good Samaritan Asks Someone To Film Him Helping Fallen Elderly
This is one of those stories that are a mark of contemporary China, or result of. Recently in Shanghai, an old man fainted and fell. Instead of helping him, people stood around and watched (for him to do what, exactly?), and one man, surnamed Liu, took out his phone and began filming. (Again, what for?)

Remember the three migrant workers who rescued a woman from drowning in Qingdao? Another woman was rescued from drowning recently in Nanjing, but under completely different circumstances. The woman walked into a lake and kept going farther and farther from shore, ala Edna Pontellier in The Awakening. After her rescue by an out-of-town soldier surnamed Zhou,... Read more »
