Buy cigarettes online

Late one recent afternoon, my husband announced that he was stepping out to buy buy cigarettes online and would be back in a minute. Forty minutes later he returned in a state of distress, with someone else’s blood on his shirt. He had been trying to help a local fruit vendor who was beaten unconscious for operating without a license by a security guard working with the local police. More than 200 people witnessed the incident, but no one was willing to openly help the victim. The fruit vendor’s brother, grim and silent, refused my husband’s offer to find a taxi to take the injured man to a hospital. Two policemen were present, but their only concern seemed to be finding someone to take responsibility for getting the unconscious man off the street. An ambulance pulled up, called by one of the witnesses. But no one would say who had made the call - to do so might mean taking responsibility for the financial charges. The police slinked off; perhaps afraid that they might be asked to take responsibility for the call.
