Continuing on with today’s theme of curious responses by onlookers who are present at a crime scene…
Maybe you’ve already seen our video of a mafia-style hit on a guy with a mafia criminal record. It’s pretty strong stuff, and also fairly surprising.
A guy is smoking a cigarette outside a bar, a dude in a baseball cap walks into the bar, then comes out and kills cigarette guy with several shots.
Meanwhile, a woman checking out her scratch-off lottery ticket just keeps on doing that, then walks away. Even the hitman just walks off.
For those of us trained in human behavior, this raises a number of questions:
- This new get-tough initiative on smokers, is it working?
- Why are baseball fans suddenly turning so violent?
- Are lottery officials allowed to use this footage in an ad campaign along the lines of, “Hold the noise down boys, I think I won the lottery!”
