In the article they mentioned women with baby's and coffee watching the accident, too. It's down to how you're raised. Selfish attitudes are found in all ages of people and I've experienced it in older people first hand in this type of situation. Selflessness and being a good person to help out those in desperate times of need does exist in people my age, a lot more than you'd like to think actually.
It's easy to take one bad apple and turn them into a stereotype for a whole generation.
Either way that article made me sick to the core to think that people could sit there and watch a man scream in pain in his last moments. If that was someone I loved in that truck I would do my best to hunt down every bastard that watched and take a spanner to their head, while a crowd watched for fun.

I agree with this guy/girl, you can point the stick at a certain generation, but there are bad people in every group. I get looked and assumed to be a thug because I'm 17 and look suspect (Its my facial expression IMO). It all depends on how the person is raised I suppose.
If I saw someone trapped on the side of the road in a burning car, I'd try and help out, but there are some things I wouldn't get involved in, like a guy beating his girlfriend because you don't know what they're carrying and they'll probably turn their attention to you.
