In Washington DC, a 77 years old man died of a heart attack right in front of a fire station, and his daughter. It happened last week. The man collapsed and his daughter, knowing there was a fire station right there, began asking for help, but none came.
Then passersby began demanding for help from the fire station, noting to local news media that the firefighters were just standing around. One witness says a firefighter told him that they could do nothing until they were officially dispatched!
Washington DC cops showed up, but then refused to get near the man! An ambulance finally showed up, but the man was pronounced dead at the hospital.
“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security……..That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013
