Crime Watchers Hartford CT Video

[Redskin Rich]

I find it amazing how all those people were walking around without helping the guy... especially all of the cars driving past:

Hmmmm, I am now taking Hartford off my nominee list for top 10 friendliest American cities

Sorry to anyone who may live there but Hartford is a dump of a city.

This video is pretty disturbing to say the least.

I know I will take a rating hit from SmootSmack for this comment, but I don't know much about those Yankee states... I thought Hartford CT was supposed to be a beautiful town filled with Yuppie families that take the train to NYC to work?

It looks like one guy came up to him. Hopefully someone had called 911. One the worst things you could do is move someone that could have a potential back injury. Also, there are a lot of variables that the camera is not showing you. For example if this in a bad section of town most people in cars are not stopping. Sometimes going home from work I drive 40 east through Baltimore (scary area) I am not stopping there unless I ran him over. In the end it is a sad world we live in now a days.

Yeah that was all over the news last week up here. It's pretty shameful. I've been to Hartford maybe 5 times in the two years I've lived here, pass it all the time on the way to the airport though. West Hartford is pretty decent, the rest I really don't know much about.

I now live about 2 hours away from Hartford, so I imagine I'll be spending even less time there than I ever did before.

As for Redskin Rich's Yankee States comment, a) even though I live up here now I don't really consider myself a New Englander, I'm still a DC kid, and b) that's a pretty lame blanket statement to make about everyone up here.

As someone who's lived in the Northeast my entire life I have no clue what you're trying to say here.

I think he is confussing Hartford for Fairfeild CT.

Hartford is pretty blue collar.

I read the article about this last week but I didn't see anything about it now. Society has hit a new low when a man is a victim of a hit and run and nobody even bothers to check and see if he's ok and cars just keep passing by like nothing's wrong.

All I know about CT is what you hear on TV shows etc... I always thought of it as a nice New England city where it is a friendly place.

I admit to not knowing much about the geography in your neck of the woods.

CT is pretty much like anywhere else. It has it's share of nice areas and some not so nice areas.
