"Josh Brent Is Not a Hero."

A number of witnesses have come forward to say that Dallas Cowboys player Jerry Brown was alive and screaming for help after teammate Josh Brent - who was allegedly drunk - crashed the car they were traveling in.
Stacee McWilliams, 40, from Irving, told police on Monday that when she stopped at the scene of the accident, she practically had to beg Brent to help his best friend out of the Mercedes, which was upside down and on fire.
She said: 'I jumped out and ran out toward the wreck. I yelled to Brent, "Are you OK? Are you OK?" And he told me he was fine as he was pacing back and forth.
'I was relieved because I thought, it’s just a single-car accident, nobody’s hurt. And then fire sparked up from the car and got bigger and I started to hear screams.
'The fire became very hot, very bright, very big and then I started to hear screams coming from inside the vehicle and it was a man's voice saying "Help me, Help, somebody help me". Jerry was alive, he was hurt, calling out and his own friend walked away.
'(Brent) looked at me and said, "He won't get out of the car", and I said to him, "Get him out of the car, you have to save him".'
She told the Dallas Morning News she then went back to her car to call 911 and when she returned, Brown was lying in the middle of the road and his teammate was walking away from him.
'He abandoned him', she said. 'I want people to understand that Josh Brent is not a hero.
'I keep hearing reports of how he was there to pull his friend from the fire, but he had to be coerced and pushed and begged and pleaded to get his friend out of the fire.
'And when he pulled him out, he just left him in the street. He didn't tell him "Hang in there, help is on the way". Nothing. He just left him there and I want the magnitude of that to be understood.'

Germans. General concensus was she is a nosey count who clearly doesn't understand the effects of someone being in shock.

I was sick after hearing that. Brent kept saying "he won't get out, he won't get out."

Yea frick that, "in shock" is not an excuse to leave someone in a burning car that you're responsible for catching on fire

Until something like this happens to you. Go read stuff about paramedics or the first attendants to a scene. It's usually someone else who helps because the driver is in shock at everything that happened. Add in alcohol and already a muddled state and it becomes even worse. It's not just this one guy posting on here saying that
No one has ever said he is a "hero". She's just an idiot that was looking for attention.
Also this idiot woman who made these public statements, has already had her statement to the police dismissed because what she said to them didn't even come close to what she said in the media. As if she thought she could get away with over-exaggerating her story for her ten seconds of fame and that the police wouldn't notice

I've had to pull someone out of a car before, granted their life wasn't in jeopardy and the car wasn't on fire. But still I didn't just sit there and look at them stuck in the car...

Why didn't this bitch do anything other than yell at a man in shock?

From the article:
quote:
A second woman came forward yesterday to corroborate this story.
Pam Johnson said she called 911 as soon as she saw Brent's overturned Mercedes on the road.
She told WFAA TV that when she got out of the car, she saw Brent come around from behind the burning vehicle and asked him if anyone else was inside.
'Yes but he won't get out', Brent told her, according to Ms Johnson, who then walked closer to the scene and saw Stacee McWilliams.

Ok, I could see the initial shock and horror right away and having a delayed reaction, but the quoted portion above is flat out pathetic. That's terrible and so sad.
