Origins of the Bystander effect. Also known as Genovese syndrom. This case prompted research by Latané & Darley. Famous in psychology and social sciences.
@Lordofthenipplerings I wasn't talking about how the world is. I was talking about your perspective on it. So don't just assume that everyone in the world is a spineless pussy like you are.
@higoshimaru In a world where people are so abundant, the lives of strangers arent really a valuable commodity. Thus its really up to the state to make these choices. For me, unless the mood strikes me. I would most likely just keep walking.
@Lordofthenipplerings I enjoy having social encounters with strangers in the street. No matter how small it is it is so much fun. Too bad that it doesn't happen much anymore. No one will give you the time of day
Diffusion of responsibility and pluralistic ignorance were no doubt at play in the Kitty Genovese case. A VERY disturbing issue but one that is real. For anyone interested, Aronson's "The Social Animal" is a wonderful book on social psychology and the factors at play in such circumstances... People will occassionally ask why I don't watch television (I do watch shows but not as they are aired.) The reason is simple - the media glorifies violence and there is nothing glorious about it...
@shakezulathemicrulah Im no spineless pussy. I make sure of that. I just wouldnt care.

@shakezulathemicrulah Thats how the world is. Especially in urban areas. Hence the study of the effect.

If other observers (big dumb black guy) it's because he doesn't have a conscience.
Political Correctenss teaches timid White people to not notice this and never, ever, mention it.
We should talk about the bystander effect of PC and how it turned a once great nation into a Circus/Insane Asylum.
