So, I was reading the online Foxnews story about (a murder-suicide) the man, a college instructor, who fought his son to give his students time to flee before being shot in the head with an arrow and killed - it's tragic for sure and goes without saying.
However, there are a couple paragraphs in this story (see below), that I find SO very troubling and hard to understand. I mean sure you want to mind your own business, that's fine and I can appreciate. Let's say that when this woman and her daughter arrived home Arnold was in the street arguing with someone. This would be a good example of hustling into the house to mind your own business and not to get involved. Put on the boob-tube, maybe Ellen or Dr. Phil, and make yourself a snack. However, and correct if I'm wrong but once you come upon a body (Arnold) lying in the street doesn't the whole "mind your own business" concept become null and void?! How at that point can anyone "watch some TV and have some snacks"?! What if Arnold, the body, was still alive? Perhaps a 911 call could have saved his life?
Sadly, I feel this is an example of what our society has come to.
Heather Meier, who lives across the street, said she came home from work Friday afternoon after picking up her 7-year-old daughter from school, and the two saw Arnold's body still lying in the street.
"As soon as we got home, we just shut the curtains," she said. "You know, tried to just watch some TV, have some snacks, mind our own business."
