Good article by Kurt Schlichter discussing why people won't help others in their time of need.
Passivity Is a Choice, and We Made It
townhall.com
There's always an uproar when we see Asian-Americans being beaten to a pulp or murdered on video and the people around them just stare instead of intervene. But why are we surprised? They are just doing exactly what society has told them to do. It's not necessarily cowardice. They are making an entirely rational choice based on our society's unequivocal message that we should stand back and watch.
If we, as a society, want to have people leap into the fray, and I would like that, then we need to do the things that make it a rational choice to do so instead of one that might very well bring ruin, imprisonment, injury, or death.
