Jenna (VIA) and I pulled into a parking spot and heard a loud bang. Looking up across the road, there was a car that had hit into a cement wall, completely taking out a telephone pole in the process. If you look you can see the pole is stuck between the car and the wall.
I wasn't sure what was more entertaining (I'm not being inconsiderate- the people got out and walked away so there were no injuries). It was hard to decide between watching the crowd that gathered who all joined together rocking the car up and down and trying to rock it up and off the stump of the pole, and watching if/when the pole would fall onto the car. The falling never happened, and after getting quite a bit of exercise rocking the car as they tried to push it off the snapped off bottom portion of the pole... The whole thing was, as I said, quite entertaining. The best part was to see them (after several unsuccessful tries) start the damaged car and drive it off. No reporting the accident. No police involved. No letting the phone company know they had wires now hanging 2 feet off the ground in the way of traffic, and a pole precariously hanging over the roadway. They just drove off and left. And this is TYPICAL here.
And if there had been injuries, the sad thing to report is that the crowd of observers would not have rushed forward to "help". Instead they would have rushed forward to steal and loot from the people, stealing everything they could (and many accident victims can't be identified because of looters!). It is a sad truth, but that is really typical. Pray people who do those types of things will change; that they will be changed by the transforming love and compassion of Christ.
