Yeah. That's bullshit. Before I claimed that "people are hard." But really I should have said "people are cruel and unfeeling." Filming the assault is not intervening. Intervening is intervening. Calling for help is intervening. This new dimension of people filming it is especially disturbing. JFC.

So much this. Intervening would be something to help stop the crime - such as calling the cops. What these people did was spectating.
