Man hit by car; No one stops to help

[Nanners52674]

I grew up in Hartford my dad still lives here and im currently babysitting for a family in hartford. The street this happened on is Park Street which is NOT in either the West End ( the "wealthy" neighborhood) or the business district where "wealthy" people commute into work everyday. In actually its a incredibly poor area so your idea that because it happened in a area full wealthy people and its because they are wealthy that choose to do nothing holds no weight. The demographic of the street and its surrounding area is actually quite the opposite. Furthermore knowing what I know about the area im not shocked that the cars who hit the man didnt stop and that other people did not stop. And the broad generalization of CT being nothing but wealthy and there for uncaring people is rude and ignorant.

ETA: Hartford does not in ANY way have a reputation for being wealthy in fact if you say to a person from surrounding towns that your from hartford the actual city it carries a stereotype of being from the "ghetto".

And not to start a whole debate about police and such but when i was discussing this event this evening a friend mentioned that many people driving on that street are probably hesitant to stop because they do not want to involve themselves in something with the hartford police. Which is a really good point.
