If you see a man lying bleeding…

I thought that very odd as well. I'm sure she thought he was just a homeless guy acting crazy but in her shoes I would have called an ambulance just in case. He did seem to badly wounded and the way he was sort of across the tunnel struck me as most unnatural.

You've never seen someone strung out before, have you?

That part bothered me too. I couldn't just "do nothing" if I came across someone begging for help, and I'm not even a "Christian". Especially since the next thing that happened was she came home and met Detective Mallory; that would have been the obvious time to mention it, even more so since he'd given her his name and his son's name and asked her to contact his son.

You people have no concept of the world. What was she supposed to do? The man appears to be homeless and on drugs. What is she supposed to tell detective Mallory? That there's a random homeless person doing drugs in the tunnel? Do you have any idea how common that is in LA? You think a missing persons detective has nothing better to do than go harass the homeless? What do you think he was supposed to do about it anyway?

Exactly, I hate it when someone says "blah blah blah, but I'm in Iceland!", one obvious rule when watching a movie is that not all movies are going to be filmed in your neighbourhood, in fact in my neighbourhood I don't think any movie has ever been filmed here. So I have to put 2 and 2 together and deduct using my common sense that all movies are made somewhere else.
Jesus, we really are turning in to a planet of simpletons! It's north LA ffs, even I 6,000 miles away know not to communicate with junkies, I also know the police will laugh at you if you've called them just to report a sleeping one.

An ambulance in the US costs a couple hundred dollars. Even if taken to county (charity hospital) they'd probably try to stick the homeless guy with the bill.

my guess is she thought he was a junkie. it wasnt clear if it was blood or mud in his clothing. she assumed he was lying there after some dope, so wanted to keep a distance.

in the tunnel on her morning jog why doesnt the non-pregnant sister help him ?
Because she assumes he's just some homeless junkie. Keep in mind that this movie takes place in LA.
If not herself, but why not call an ambulance ?
Do you think a homeless person has health insurance?
Im from Sweden so I dont know if theres any difference on how treating wounded people in the US?
That explains it all. There is a difference. Further, he had no obvious wounds that I could see.
She claims to be christian also and a lunchbox might just not be the real christian thing enough to help a wounded man.
You don't know much about America in general, do you?
