Some of the stories I bring you are troubling to say the least. This one may be one of the worst. Read the full story here.
The victim: Joaquin Rivera, 63, who died of a heart attack and was robbed (pictured on right).The lowlifes: Richard Alten, 44, who was arrested in the hospital and is currently in police custody (pictured below), a black woman, and a 30-something, 5-foot-8 black man in dark pants who limped.
People really amaze me. Earlier this week, it was Maurice Clemmons, the criminal who killed 4 unsuspecting Seattle police officers as they worked on their laptops in a suburban coffee shop. Today it's the lowlifes I mention above.
How can people steal from a dying man? How can stealing even be an option when you see somebody lose consciousness?
I just can't fathom somebody being that cruel and just plain EVIL. It really is very sad.
On top of that, I think I want to add a few more lowlifes to the list above: the hospital staff that forced Mr. Rivera to wait for over an hour for treatment. The theft aside, how can you just let a guy wait there when he is complaining of pain in his left arm and abdomen? Isn't that one of the top indications of a potential heart attack? Should that not warrant an immediate trip to the emergency room for Mr. Rivera? They force a man to wait over an hour -- what do you think it would have been like for Mr. Rivera under government-run healthcare?
This really is just a story about the bane of human existence.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the Rivera family.
May God Bless You.
