Dead Society

A man was found dead in the middle of a busy sidewalk. Witnesses say that he was in a verbal confrontation with another man that lasted a few minutes. Things escalated into the assailant punching the victim in the face. The assailant then pulled a large blunt object out of his coat and started hitting the victim on the chest and over the head. His cries for help were unheard by the hundreds of people watching. They all just stood there, watching. Not one person helped. His screams dissipated, as did his life. Nobody helped, and the assailant just walked away.

What would you do in a situation like that? Would you wait for the police to get there which would be too late, or would you help the person?

I would get a group of people to come with me to beat the living shit out of this guy. People just tend to be too scared to be involved in something like this because they fear for their own life, which is a good reason, but how could you live with yourself if you basically could've kept a person from dying if you intervened?

What if it was a woman being hit, would somebody intervene then? If so, what's the difference between a man being beaten to death and a woman being beaten to death? Would you do something if a child was in the same situation, or would you just stay there and just watch a life being taken away?
