well, guess i should have expanded on that a bit. there's a psychological phenomena knowns as
bystander apathy, where people end up standing around waiting for someone else to do something. there have been dozens of documented cases of it, which include what happened on the planes that crashed into the WTC towers. However, since the attacks almost four years ago, stories like this have started to show up. People are tired of being taken advantage of.
