It's that simple.
Who's to say that if some of them had tried, and I emphasize the word tried, to help her that they wouldn't have been stabbed themselves?
It's really easy for all y'all to sit there safe at home behind your locked doors and say that you would have leaped forward to save her, but in reality, be honest, you wouldn't.
You just wouldn't.
It's part of the herd mentality, ie; just move along and pretend every thing's normal and I won't get hurt.
And please, two minutes either way wasn't going to save her life, that's a bunch of crap.
A person can be stabbed numerous times and have very little if any blood flowing from the wounds, and if thyey're wearing dark colored clothing this covers up the blood as well.
Keep in mind, real life, ain't like the movies, not every little cut and gunshot wound sends a geyser of blood/flesh into the air, in fact that's very rarely the case.

In the city I remember this guy who reeked of alcohol from three feet away. He was piss drunk and depressed, so I went to talk to him to see if I could help. I've been drunk in shitty situations before, and even though the guy didn't look clean cut at all, I went with the belief that he couldn't try anything.
He talked to me for a while, and I think I was able to steady him in his "drunkness". At some point he showed me his white van, so I got sort of worried (he could've turned out to be acting drunker than he was, and stronger than me). Eventually he asked me if I could walk him back to his apartment. My friends were about 25 ft away, so I asked my two of the guys to come with me in case he tried something.
His apartment was close, and he was extremely grateful when we got there. He wouldn't let us leave without giving us money first though, as a "thanks", even though we insisted. So I ended up getting 30 bucks for my time.
Something could've happened to me, but I decided to trust him.
I don't believe all of us here would just stand and watch in one of these weird situations. It's pretty dismissive for you to judge everybody here like that, IMO. Some people do try and help.
