The Bystander Effect. This may explain that video where the man got hit by the car and the crowd stood watching.

I learned it's because people always assume that another person is going to take action, so they won`t do anything. People need to always step up and be the one to take action, even if it seems like the person is being helped by another person.

My father is a police officer and I was kind of raised to help those that need it so when I see something wrong I have a tendency to do something. Because of that I see more of this happening as i am more observant. I have to admit though, nearly every occasion when im last on the scene, I do make the remark of "What the F$&% is wrong with you people?!" then they meander off or say something to the effect of "I didn't see anyone else helping." The truth is, 90% of people are followers, and are just simply afraid of taking charge, but it is how you were trained, it is how you are. You can`t change your nature, I was raised otherwise to do something, whereas most of you weren`t, even if I do get a little angry, you can`t help what you all are.

The music was a bit loud in the beginning...

Nice Joseph poster, Professor Edwin.

Liked the "Shoot them. Put 'em out of my misery!" answer. ... Til the younger guy said it again. ><;

Uhm. What did he do? Just.... lay down? Wish they would`ve shown what they did to end up on the floor...

Just shows how people are concerned about being singled out in a group of strangers. At least, that's why I think it happens.
In my area a girl who goes to my school was punched by some douche in the subway. He was like "go back to Iraq" because she was wearing a headdress. And he got off the train, and nobody did anything.
...she was Egyptian."

Apparently including you.
