As 15-year-old Awsaf Islam lay dying on a Sunnyside street last Thursday, bystanders focused on Lakers star Lamar Odom, who emerged unscathed from one of the wrecked cars, they said.
"Everybody was paying attention to him. Nobody cared about the kid," said Adolfo Ramirez, 13, who witnessed the crash.
"It was messed up," witness Naldo Vasquez, 15, said. "They got excited and were asking to take photos with him."

WHAT is wrong with this country? Good God! It's ridiculous how we are so fixated on "the famous" to the point that we have no concern for a dying little boy?
This makes me sick and angry.
