7 thoughts on “YouTube Viewer In New York Leads Central Florida Police To Victim (weird)”
Hmph. Sounds like a cry for help by an attention whore. The rescuers should have video taped the rescue and posted it on YouTube.
Pat, was hoping you would chime in. Found that link via the mycrimespace site. :smiles: I’m thinking he didn’t mean to go through with it completely or else he would have just left the video on his own computer. Wanted to be “rescued”.
Yay, I’m glad you are checking out Trench’s site. Its quite a collections of mischief on everyone’s favorite web-dump of bad HTML coding.
Maybe he wanted to be rescued, but wow, that was a high risk maneuver. I wonder how many views he received by people that decided not to do anything at all?
And then I ask myself if I would do anything to intervene for some nimrod who threatens to off himself on YouTube, and if I am honest with myself, I would have to say no, I would probably not do anything. I would be much more likely to post a comment on his video that says, “Can I have your Xbox when you’re gone?”
And I’m aware that makes me a bad person.
What do you think, does that then make you liable for not helping a citizen? (What the hell is that law called? Good citizen law? Whatever it is that got Seinfeld and friends thrown in jail.)
I thought the Good Simeritan Law meant that you couldn’t get in trouble if you DID help. I don’t think you can be REQUIRED to help.
I’m trying to figure out how the hell the guy knew where to send the police. Did the dude say his address on the video?? That doesn’t seem very “no, really, I WANT to kill myself” to me.
The good samaritan law? That’s a really good question, but I don’t think its applicable to the Internet. (yet) All anyone would have to tell cops is that they thought it was performance art and what could cops do about that?
Jeez, how long until we have the fake videos posted? To get our cops on wilde goose chases…
