Meh, this stuff happens all the time, as others have mentioned when you see homeless people passed out in the street on a regular basis you just start blocking it out.
I see, what I assume to be homeless people, in the streets all the time here in Nashville, passed out, laying on sidewalks half of them could be dead for all I know. Just the other night I was leaving a club and saw a fellow walk into the middle of the street, lay down and fall asleep...or pass out, whichever, I wonder how many people just walked by and shrugged before he woke up, got hit by a car or hauled off by the cops? Unless I saw somebody obviously in distress or witnessed them being attacked/hurt I'd just walk on too, there just aren't enough hours in the day to dial 911 or offer help every time you see somebody laying in a heap on the side of the street.
Sad story, but the media's just using this to whip up emotion to sell papers and get ratings. Sensationalism at its best.
