WICHITA, Kan. (July 4) - As stabbing victim LaShanda Calloway lay dying on the floor of a convenience store, five shoppers, including one who stopped to take a picture of her with a cell phone, stepped over the woman, police said. The June 23 situation, captured on the store's surveillance video, got scant news coverage until a columnist for The Wichita Eagle disclosed the existence of the video and its contents Tuesday. Police have refused to release the video, saying it is part of their investigation. "It was tragic to watch," police spokesman Gordon Bassham said Tuesday. "The fact that people were more interested in taking a picture with a cell phone and shopping for snacks rather than helping this innocent young woman is, frankly, revolting." The woman was stabbed during an altercation that was not part of a robbery, Bassham said. It took about two minutes for someone to call 911, he said. Calloway, 27, died later at a hospital. Two suspects have been arrested. A 19-year-old woman was charged with first-degree murder. Another suspect who turned himself in had not been charged as of Tuesday, the Sedgwick County prosecutor's office said. The district attorney's office will have to decide whether any of the shoppers could be charged, Bassham said. It was uncertain what law, if any, would be applicable. A state statute for failure to render aid refers only to victims of a car accident. Eagle columnist Mark McCormick told The Associated Press he learned about the video when he called Wichita Police Chief Norman Williams to inquire about a phone call he had received from a reader complaining about a Police Department policy that requires emergency medical personnel to wait until police secure a crime scene before rendering aid. McCormick said Williams then unloaded on him about the shoppers in the stabbing case. "This is just appalling," Williams told the newspaper. "I could continue shopping and not render aid and then take time out to take a picture? That's crazy. What happened to our respect for life?" Copyright 2007 The Associated Press.

FAX To The Rescue!!!! Got you covered, Mr. oaklandhater.
Company Advertises for Condom Testers MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) - A major condom brand said Friday it expected thousands of applicants for a new unpaid job on offer - condom tester. Durex said 200 adult Australians - men and women - are wanted to test a range of its condoms. While the successful applicants will not be paid, each will receive a pack of Durex sex products, a chance to win 1,000 Australian dollars ($857 U.S.), plus professional prestige, the company said in a statement. "Who wouldn't want to have a chance with an actual authorized professional?" Durex marketing manager Sam White asked. "Durex is expecting thousands of applicants," the statement said. Hopefuls must explain in their applications why they would make "expert" condom testers. How they test the condoms is not specified, but testers must provide honest feedback about how they find the products. No deadline is set for evaluating a range of four condoms and other sex products. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070706/D8Q72M3G0.html FAX THE HEROIC |
