For those of you not familiar with Jamaica, Queens - I can tell you there's no way I would have stopped to help.  That's a really rough area for crime & drugs.  I used to pass through that train station every day because I had to switch trains there.  I was fine up on the platform, but the streets below were ugly - Bronx burned out buildings & cars ugly. 

sounds like Camden, NJ.    Even I wouldn't walk through some of the streets there without a gun.

 I had to walk back through Jamaica to get to the station.  I was openly approached twice to buy,     

can we assume whatever it was they were selling was illegal to sell?

Like I said - no way in hell I'm stopping to help or getting involved in the first place, not in Jamaica.  Sorry, but dying for an ungrateful stranger isn't the right thing to do for my family.

 

but in this case, you wouldn't have had to stop in order to help, just get out your cell phone and dial 911.
