THE BYSTANDER APATHY

... AND SO THEY DIED, WITH HUNDREDS WATCHING...DOING NOTHING! WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE? WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?
When something like this happens, it's more comfortable to assume that only 'other people' behave like this (I'm not talking about the murder - I mean the bystander apathy). Why is it that 'not helping' - bystander apathy - is something that people commonly do, and, why?
Think of it in the Christian context now ... what would i/you have done as Christians if we were bystanders that fateful day?

(NOTE: For those of you who do not know them, they were stabbed to death when they stood up against eveteasers in Bombay ... check it out on the internet!)
