Not everyone will stop and help, though. Some don't want to get involved or think they have more important things to do like going to Starbucks.

Anyhoo, this story has already been added to another thread in PPR and people are still sticking pins in their Zimmerman voodoo dolls just the same.

you actually should not unless the vehical is on fire or something. it puts you at a legal liability especially if they have a neck injury, moving them wrong could be the difference from being paralyzed and not paralyzed

I don't think I want to live where people just drive past a wreck and not stop and help.
How do they not help?It's just decency.

I think at this point Zimmerman could rescue a truckload of child sex trafficking victims, and people would still say "there he goes playing cop again". :roll:

This happened four days after acquittal.

I just found out today.

No surprises here. "Now back to Justice for Trayvon protests"

Yes that, or they'd say, "he must have forgot his gun since he didnt murder them all like poor little Treyvon" :roll:
This Zimmerman thing is going to go on for a while, one way or the other, and will probably evolve into other related subjects.

I suppose so,our roads are narrow,not much shoulder.I did not think it was safe for her to be in a blind curve,hanging upside down.A judgement call on me.

Considering what it cost Zimmerman the last time he got out of his vehicle to get involved, it would be hard to blame him had he not done so this time.

In my moment of roadside good-samaritan glory I pulled a guy out from being pinned under a vehicle. I saw the possibilities, even if remote, of it being used against me by some ambulance chaser attorney so when the highway patrol started writing names down I sort of slithered back to my car and left. I'd just recently had an unexpected encounter with ambulance chasers to the tune of $3000 so I was a bit gun shy of them. I still am, the bastards....

In the Z case I would have stayed in my vehicle,just my opinion.

What it cost Zimmerman! Really? I'd say, his misjudgment cost others a lot more. He needs to learn to stay in his vehicle no matter what he sees.

Last I checked "poor little Treyvon" is dead. Your need to continue dancing on the grave of an unarmed murdered 17 yr old is really in very poor taste.
