Via WJNO. Yes, the man on the sidewalk is having a seizure; yes, he’s dressed in fatigues (for good reason); no, the guy hovering over him is not offering assistance. Not since l’affaire Ellensburg has such petty yet overwhelming jackassery been caught so redhanded. Steel yourself for a taste of bile, then proceed.

What a nice gentleman.
I hope the other guy was alright

Until we return to the kind of civilization that would deliver a beating with a lead pipe to that kind of filth, and move away from one that punishes people more for putting books in toilets, we’re headed for total collapse.
MadisonConservative on April 24, 2008 at 3:57 PM
I’m pretty sure the thief’s civil rights were violated in some way.

Surely the ACLU is on this…….yes?

GITMO for this thug.
subbottomfeeder on April 24, 2008 at 4:03 PM
I didn’t actually expect him to rob the guy. The way he walks up to him as if he had planned to do it before even checking if he was okay, it’s all so perfect…. I’m going to hell.
Typhonsentra on April 24, 2008 at 4:05 PM
What a piece of sh!t…
maintenanceman on April 24, 2008 at 4:07 PM
What an A$$HOLE! I hope he get what’s coming to him.
The ROTC kid, wow, talk about feeling bad. I wonder what made him go into seizure mode. You can see something on the ground I am sure he had it in his hand before he went into the mode. :( Jesus, I feel bad for that kid.
upinak on April 24, 2008 at 4:09 PM
K, let me try this again without a vile comment. Brain filter /.
Nothing like kicking someone while they’re down, eh?
I can’t understand how some could be that cold and selfish.
I’m glad I can’t. It means my parents did something right.
Geronimo on April 24, 2008 at 4:11 PM
umm, let’s see, how can we spin this. Oh, I know. If Bush hadn’t sent this country into an illegal war, one of his drones wouldn’t have been there to intice this poor, unsuspecting, usually law abiding, upstanding patriot just looking for a way to put a few crumbs of food on the table of his desperately hungry family. It’s fine upstanding people like this, that Bush has driven to crime. Ya, that’ll be the story.
oakpack on April 24, 2008 at 4:11 PM
The dirt bags that just by and watched are just as guilty.
This makes me sad and beyond.
ORrighty on April 24, 2008 at 4:18 PM
At least it has a happy ending. The guy is caught and hopefully gets what he deserves.
And I don’t get the mentality either. Some people simply are not moved by another person’s plight.
Esthier on April 24, 2008 at 4:26 PM
This post is obviously racist and should be removed immediately before McCain sees it.
ctmom on April 24, 2008 at 4:28 PM
left lunatics will say “Wow he must have been really desperate to have to do that. It’s our society that forced him to take advantage of that situation because he doesn’t have enough to eat/has a family/is supporting his mother…blah blah frickin blah.
Anyone remember the scene…I forget what it was in, where a jewish teenager was absolutely racked with guilt for wearing a pair of boots he took off of a corpse in a concentration camp?
THAT is desperation. Seriously…This gets me hot, like angry warm.
This is why I FULLY back postpartum abortions…with no statute of limitations. “Nope, that one didn’t turn out quite right…get the drill and the wet vac”
beefytee on April 24, 2008 at 4:29 PM
I don’t see anyone on camera see the whole thing happen and do nothing.
There’s one guy carrying a bag who walks out just as the thief approaches the kid, but at that point it’s easy to assume he’s there to help. It’s not until that guy has walked away in the opposite direction that the wallet is stolen.
Then, as soon as the cop, or security guard or whatever he is, sees the student, he rushes over to help.
Esthier on April 24, 2008 at 4:29 PM

Mrs. Cartmen slept her way through to the President for that right.

Ours is the first society who’s complete erosion will be available as a DVD box set some day.
12thman on April 24, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Is our world getting more sick and twisted by the day or do we just see it more because of the net and technology? I personally think our world is out of control. I feel like I’m in a twilight zone skit almost everyday now.
abinitioadinfinitum on April 24, 2008 at 4:36 PM
And some insist that there’s no good and evil in this world.
Entelechy on April 24, 2008 at 4:37 PM
Maybe if Dallas would pay their police officers a decent salary they wouldn’t have to be RATIONING out patrol time.
Dallas has a serious shortage of officers. The city council is too busy defending itself from Federal prosecution to give a rats ass about it’s own citizens and guests. Business tax breaks? Forget it! That is why downtown Dallas is a ghost town after dark.
Hint to visitors….downtown Fort Worth is just 22 miles away. Window shop at 2am if you like. If you get lost there are plenty of nice police officers nearby to point you in the right direction, or a restaurant or bar open to rest your weary feet.

M’fer..
I have epilepsy, wish i could been around to help him out..
Chakra Hammer on April 24, 2008 at 4:39 PM
there have always been bottom feeders that will take advantage of this kind of situation. Since the beginning of time. The only difference is now we get to see how it happens.
It’s so disgusting to me that his ONLY apparent though was whether or not he’d get caught…He couldn’t have cared if that kid died or not…

abinitioadinfinitum on April 24, 2008 at 4:36 PM
Nah…
The world is still a good place, the only change is the proliferation of video cameras both stationary and handheld. The 24 hour news cycle hasn’t helped and the net compounds the number by 100 at a minimum.
swami on April 24, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Scumbag.
I can just imagine the audio: “What? I didn’t do anything”
JetBoy on April 24, 2008 at 4:45 PM
This is the first time I’ve seen evidence of surveillance cameras used to actually catch someone. Amazing.
Nessuno on April 24, 2008 at 4:46 PM
damn I went too far
beefytee on April 24, 2008 at 4:48 PM
Let John Roberts be the Judge to sentence him. ;)
Chakra Hammer on April 24, 2008 at 4:49 PM
Any moral relativists want to argue that this p.o.s. is not evil?
Buy Danish on April 24, 2008 at 5:06 PM
Eh, that’s why Deep Ellum is now a ghost town. Downtown Dallas is boring after dark. There’s just not much there worth checking out.
Lower Greenville, while still very crime-ridden, is nearly always busy, because it has a lot of great bars and clubs. Fort Worth is nice, but they don’t have a lot that really stands out aside from clubs like Billy Bob’s which really only appeals to a specific demographic.
Esthier on April 24, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Tastes I guess. Downtown FW is cozy. There are a lot of clubs and restaurants other then Billy Bob’s. The Deep Ellum crowd just isn’t my old fogie cup of tea I guess.
It is still all Texas, though. I’m sure it beats the hell outta Queens.
(run Lim run!)
Limerick on April 24, 2008 at 5:12 PM
time to bust out the tazer on the mofo
ocbrat on April 24, 2008 at 5:13 PM
Sorry. I didn’t mean to speak ill of FW, just that it’s most well-known clubs are of the Billy variety, which is a good club if that you’re into that. I’ve been a few times.
Deep Ellum isn’t really most peoples’ cup of tea as recent visits indicate, but it can be pretty to drive through and check out the graffiti.
Esthier on April 24, 2008 at 5:18 PM
Nah, too easy… I like Ving Rhames idea from Pulp Fiction.
Butch Coolidge: What now?
Marsellus Wallace: What now? Let me tell you “what now?” I’m gonna call a couple a hard, pipe-hittin’ muthas to go to work on the homes here, with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.
Claypigeon on April 24, 2008 at 5:22 PM
Spit out my beer on that one!
Back OT…like others said all cities have their scum (like this guy). Dallas, to me, just doesn’t do enough to run these fellas outta town. A more robust police department, instead of 115 million dollar beautification bridges, would go a long way to helping the city recover.
Limerick on April 24, 2008 at 5:23 PM
The guy that came to actually help didn’t get into it with the thief (he probably could have) instead he stayed focused on the priority of getting help for the seizure victim.
It was sucky for that first guy to rob him but it was more important and good of the second guy to render help and call 911.
I’m glad they caught the POS, I hope the tape is played at his trial.
Speakup on April 24, 2008 at 5:26 PM
I hope you are right. I try to see the glass half full.
abinitioadinfinitum on April 24, 2008 at 5:43 PM
Pliers and a blowtorch would be the only suitable and reasonable punishment, of course sawing his head off with a dull machete would be a suitable substitute if no fire or pliers are readily available.
Viper1 on April 24, 2008 at 6:02 PM
As someone with epilepsy, let me be the first to say I would love to council this asshole…with a lead pipe.
FWIW Before I even clicked the link…I figured it was Dallas.
otcconan on April 24, 2008 at 6:23 PM
This is the logical conclusion of a world in which no moral absolutes have meaning from one person to the next.
TheUnrepentantGeek on April 24, 2008 at 6:30 PM
Fear of Allah’s “Ban Hammer” prevents me from properly commenting about the vile scumbag stealing from the helpless!
My small town American mindset would cause me to cling to my gun (with both hands), while shoving it where the sun don’t shine, and then uttering language most sailors would blush at…
Allah wouldn’t like that (and we wouldn’t either), so I’ll refrain. I can, however, dream.
Hope our serviceman is OK.
FloridaBill on April 24, 2008 at 8:01 PM
He gets to go to the special Hell.
29Victor on April 24, 2008 at 8:07 PM
That made me cry.
Glynn on April 24, 2008 at 8:52 PM
I think it’s #2. One of my first cases as rookie 21 years ago was a man who had been decapitated by a commuter train. By the time we arrived, his pockets had been picked clean.
Although, the bible does say in 2 Timothy 3 that things will get much worse the closer we get to the end times.
macblanegirl on April 24, 2008 at 9:19 PM
I have a handy hammer, I wish I could have been around to help him as well.
4shoes on April 24, 2008 at 9:23 PM
I would strangled that POS with my bare hands.
csdeven on April 24, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Maybe we should ask Whoopie what sort of goggles we should look and black-on-everyone-else crime with? Perhaps we can tell her how this crap makes folks with “white goggles” not quite ready to buy into the kumbaya multicultural tolerance crap.
Spartacus on April 24, 2008 at 10:17 PM
I would majorly be pleased to F”"k that piece of crap up given the chance!
sMack on April 24, 2008 at 10:55 PM
wow, lots of calls for his death, often by cruel and unusual methods.
I guess this makes the Saudi punishment of chopping off a hand for stealing seem pretty tame.
tlynch001 on April 24, 2008 at 11:04 PM
When I was young, no one here had buglar bars. Now they are everywhere.
Johan Klaus on April 25, 2008 at 12:12 AM
I wonder if this has anything to do with it……..
NAACP, activists upset over dictionary’s definition of word ‘nigger.’ - Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary
Could have been just another upset “brother” at the “man”…. “in a uniform”… “on the ground”.. “helpless”…
You never know…….
Seven Percent Solution on April 25, 2008 at 2:08 AM
Wow. That is truly a video worth a thousand beatings.

Wright’s Chicken are coming back to roost.
Aristotle on April 25, 2008 at 7:18 AM
Hardly. This piece of sh!t didn’t just steal a wallet, he did so from someone in dire need of medical attention. That takes the crime to a whole ‘nuther level and one deserving of a punishment more severe than probation or jail time.
If you are suggesting the Saudi way, I’d be OK with that.
KrisinNE on April 25, 2008 at 8:28 AM
Time for a Pick-Me-Up…..sometimes people do the right thing. (Just seems like those types are in short supply sometimes.)
Cheesestick on April 25, 2008 at 9:11 AM
Maybe I’ve been a police officer for too long but that didn’t shock or surprise me a bit. I would’ve been shocked if he’d actually given the poor guy aid.
srhoades on April 25, 2008 at 9:55 AM
Wonder if ther’s a Good Samaritan Law a la Seinfeld finale?
Might stiffen his sentence a bit…
max1 on April 25, 2008 at 10:06 AM
No, he’s not evil, he’s just a p.o.s. Evil takes thought, creativity - not reflex action.
OldEnglish on April 25, 2008 at 11:15 AM
Dallas is full of this crap. Recent news story about a motorcycle rider that was thrown over an overpass and 2 homeless people stole everything they could from his dead body. It’s just sick to think how many people don’t value or respect life.
Aggie85 on April 25, 2008 at 2:58 PM
I remember that. Thanks for sharing it — though it is a tear jerker too, in a different way of course. :)
wytammic on April 25, 2008 at 5:16 PM
A number of years ago there was a video on our nightly news here of a woman who was hit by a car. She was laid out in the middle of the street and some big hunk of pork waddled her nasty self out to the woman and took her purse. She never once checked to see if the woman was okay, just took the purse and waddled her sick self away. Nothing surprises me anymore. We are a sick society and we’re going downhill rapidly.
