oh and i think what the reporter called shocking was not that no one was trying to help the man or to catch the killer, but that everybody was calm and kept minding their own bussiness. of course i'd do the same if i was living there
thank god i'm not living somewhere in Scampia or San Luca |

Every time I hear this rhetoric it boggles my mind. What are you going to do?! The guy just shot and killed a man in cold blood, in the middle of the day with a lot of witnesses. The Mafia is known to be heartless killers that wont think twice about popping a cap in your ass.
So with that in mind, what should someone do (after the guy is already dead mind you)? Run after the armed man with no weapons of your own and get yourself killed? Or, let's say you actually get the man... you don't think his accomplice is writing your name down on the list of next people to kill?
I would have probably done the same thing... walked the away like I saw nothing, ran home, a brick and maybe call the police. Chances are though, I would probably be too afraid of being put on the hit list to call the police and would have kept my damn mouth shut like nothing ever happened. I'd probably be paranoid that I was followed or something and they were keeping tabs on me to ensure that I did in fact keep my mouth shut.
Reality is, even though they are obviously a menace to society and they need to be taken care of, they are also lethally dangerous and it's very scary to put yourself out there in the face of organized crime like that. |
Aren't you glad not everyone in this world is as cowardly and useless as you?
You sound like the type who would expect someone to help you out even though you won't do the same. |

We both know there is nothing that could be done for the guy with a hole in his head. If I have a tip on who the killer is, I would definitely get on the bat phone. Theresa is talking about hiding under her blanket until the bad men go away. My previous posts are not so much about this video but the larger issue of bystanders not doing anything when they have an opportunity to help others. |

Unfortunately, that's a human tendency (and Theresa probably knows that, being a psychology student). I reckon the explanation for this kind of reaction should be taught to more and more people, so we could fight this tendency when the situation came. |

'Diffusion of responsibility', I think it's called. People won't act to help, thinking that others will do it instead. |
