The surveillance video has been sped up to show the full 12 minutes that elapsed from the time of the encounter to when first responders arrived on scene.

KAMLOOPS — A video showing a high profile assault with a longboard was released by a Kamloops Provincial Court judge last week.

But we noticed something else in the video—see just how many people appear to not take any interest in an injured Michael Forry lying motionless on the sidewalk that day.

We counted more than two dozen different people who walked up to or in to the 7-Eleven on Tranquille Road during those 12 minutes of video. Only a few people appear to try and help while many more just seemed to go about their business without much more than a glance in Forry's direction.

Begs the question: What would you do?
