waynew Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 You guys have probably already heard of Abraham Biggs by now, the guy who committed suicide while streaming live on the Justin.tv. Do you think that people lack a certain feeling of responsibility while browsing?

DarkWater Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Oh yeah, I did hear about that. My personal opinion is that the reason that people didn't feel responsible is exactly the same as the reason for bystander apathy in a murder or a robbery or something. Since people knew that tons of other people were watching, they felt less obligated to do something.

waynew Posted November 29, 2008 Author Share Posted November 29, 2008 Yea. I reckon that everybody was thinking "Hey, somebody else probably called the cops." Which is sad, seeing as our faith in other humans beings failed us and ultimately led to the allowance of his death.

.josh Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I think most people probably didn't bother calling the cops and even cheered him on because they thought it was fake. People do fake stuff like that all the time. I mean come on, it's not even hard to fake. He pilled himself to death. Not exactly high end special effects.

ohdang888 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 well, to start with... anyone that would watch someone killing themselves is obviously messed up in the mind. also, with technology these days, people can't always tell the difference between whats editted and real... that might have something to do with it...hm...who knows?

corbin Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I probably would've thought it was fake had I come across it.... Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/134774-responsibility/#findComment-702133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynew Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Apparently, most of them thought it was on a loop until the cops broke down the door. Some guy from India borrowed his father's phone and rang several police stations in Florida. He was redirected a few times before somebody decided to take his claims seriously.

corbin Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 This is kind of a weird thing to say, but I don't know if I would feel I have the 'responsibility' or even the right (used very loosely) to stop someone from killing him/her self. I guess I would feel differently if it were someone I knew though.... Hrmmm I can't decide now. lol.
