I just want you to answer one simple question. Had you been present among the bystanders during that incident, would you have tried to interfere in the fight?
If I were a bystander during that incident, I would have probably thought of stopping the fight only and if only I knew for sure that the other bystanders would support me and intervene too. Without that surety it would have been utterly stupid on my part to have intervened and I too would have ended up as a victim of the assault.
Personally, if I were a bystander I would have helped, but the consequence would have been one more death. This is indeed the reality, out of 1000 only one or two will raise their voice and will end up being dead in a pool of blood; watching that 2000 more will go inside their shell. Neither cowardice, nor stupidity, simply the way 'survival of the fittest' works.
