“We no longer have a moral compass”

“We have no regard for each other”

78 y.o. man tossed like rag doll

The most chilling scene since when 911 people jumped to their death from the twin towers… captured on video by a streetlight surveillance camera in Hartford Connecticut— this act of cruelty and complete disregard for a human being has touched off a round of soul-searching in Hartford, as well as around the world. The Connecticut capital city’s biggest newspaper blaring “SO INHUMANE” on the front page and the police chief lamenting: “We no longer have a moral compass” “We have no regard for each other”

“The video of the Hartford scene is beyond chilling,” Connecticut Governor Jodi Rell said. “There seems little question that the driver of the car that struck Angel Arce Torres on May 30 knew what happened. Yet the driver sped off, leaving his victim sprawled and motionless in the street. Almost as chilling is the reaction of some passers-by, who did little NOTHING in the moments after the crash to assist Mr. Torres.  Incredible!

This horrid act of human indecency was captured by a camera on 33 Park Street in Hartford Connecticut and enhanced by the Connecticut State Police Forensic Science Laboratory, which they hope will help lead to an arrest.

video to follow …

It shows Angel Torres attempting to cross the street on May 30 at about 5:45 p.m., and being struck by a car that crosses the center line. Angel Arce Torres, 78, remains paralyzed below the neck and in critical condition at Hartford Hospital.  The video is too graphic for small children - so don’t!

Police say Torres was lying in the street for nearly a minute and a half before a police cruiser on its way to another call found Torres lying in the street. The driver of the hit-and-run didn’t stop and took off around the corner. It’s what happens next that really has the police chief and others upset.

 

Nothing…

 

The traffic camera shows, in all, ten cars pass Torres lying on the ground. Two others turn around and go the opposite way, and more witnesses on the sidewalk walk over.

Police say no one called 9-1-1. No one helped him.

Hartford police ask anyone with information regarding this incident or the identity of the suspects to call Crime Scene Division (CSD) Detective Michael Chauvin at 860-757-4229 or CSD Commander Sergeant Jason Thody at 860-757-4225.
