Well, it doesn't make them less of a bunch of shitstains, but IN GENERAL, under the law, there is no responsibility for one person to go and save another from a troublesome/dangerous situation. There are a bunch of exceptions to that, arising from whether you have a duty to do it based on your position/role there. For example, cops, lifeguards when on duty, parents vis-a-vis their children, etc.
But generally, if a guy was choking on the street, and you had CPR training and was an actual instructor on the heimlich maneuver, you could choose to just walk around the guy and go on your merry way. Again, general rules only. And there's some good reasons for those rules. But yeah, these teens suck as human beings. No doubt about that. It just isn't illegal.

Although different, the recent Carter case seemed to acknowledge she had a duty to make a phone call.

Why do the teens suck? The guy walked out into the middle of a pond about 50 feet/yards fully clothed and wanted someone to come and get his ass. What were they supposed to do? 1... It's hard to swim out that far. 2... When trying to save someone that's drowning, they usually panic and pull you under so they can stay on top of the water. 3. They had to swim BACK ANOTHER 50 feet/yards.
It would've possibly been more than 1 body in that pond if someone would've tried to go out of there and help him. I bet he won't do anymore drugs though. |

I think it's less about going to save the guy and more, I don't know, calling 9-1-1? If you're filming him dying with your phone you could just as easily call for help. Also, don't excuse that sociopathic behavior just because there is no law saying what they did is illegal.

I just got my boat last week and ever since all I see/read/hear on the news is about people drowning . 10 boating deaths in Texas alone over the 4th of July weekend.
