What is wrong with these people?

Recently, a 16 year old boy in Chicago was beaten to death. Two rival gangs were fighting, and he got caught in the crosshairs (he was not a part of either gang). He got hit on the head with a railroad tie, and once he went down he was kicked and punched until he died.

I saw this on Glenn Beck's show (some of the video was blotted out because it was too violent for public TV), because somebody couldn't put down his video camera and at least try to help the kid out. All he could say was "Damn," and zoom in on the "action."

There were plenty of people who could have stopped the brutal murder, but what were they doing? Just giving the scene a cursory glance before walking right on by. There was one girl screaming for someone to call for help, but that was it. Everyone else was either joining in the beating, or videotaping it.

I don't know how I sat through and watched the entire video, but I did. Later, I wept. How can people be so cruel to each other? How does mankind get so depraved? I honestly don't know. All I know is that a boy died needlessly, and nobody cared.

God help us.
