Carjacker Beats 91-Year-Old Man as Bystanders Look On

Out of Detroit, from Fox News:

A convenience store surveillance video shows each punch 91-year-old Leonard Sims took to the side of his face during a carjacking.

But the tape also caught a group of people standing only feet away who either didn't see the attack or chose not to get involved.

Mr. Sims was outside his car in the store parking lot about 8:30 p.m. when a man walked up and asked for a light for his cigarette. The man then pummelled Mr. Sims, a World War II veteran, hitting him at least 21 times in the head.

Our local police chief said the crime is "one of the most heinous" she's seen in years and is upset the bystanders did nothing. I thought the bystanders did exactly what they were trained to do. Nothing. See some old man getting pummeled? Do nothing. See someone attacked on the streets? Do nothing. Don't get involved and call 911. That's what the bystanders did. Except for the 911 part.
