you are right. just like everyone else in here expressing the same thing. but we both know the cops would show up and arrest this guy. maybe they even did

I find the learned helplessness element very interesting, too. They're all filming next to a bunch of other people filming, and none of them realize they can be the "someone". They just demand help in a non-specific manner. They also imagine that calling the police instantly stops whatever is going on, most likely, because they've never called before. And they still can't do it.
I wonder how much worse smartphones have made the bystander effect, since people now think they're helping by filming, too.

my brain stopped memorizing street names thanks to cell phones and gps. I still memorize my surroundings, path and direction but that part of the data no longer registers as important and is not being filed away.
as far as the bystander effect its the risk/reward balance and the emotional damage that doesn't trigger an emotional response to violence.

Sad but true.
