people are too wrapped up in their own **** to care about anyone else. they adopt the attitude that it's not their business to get involved.

when i was much younger and still had my back, we were in philly watching the parade on new years. one of the girls in the group had relatives that lived in philly and didn't mind a bunch of hoodlums showing up at her house on new years, so we went religiously for a few years. anyway, coming back from the parade, we see a scuffle on the other side of the road. some guy is getting creamed by three other guys. when i saw that the dude had passed out, i had had enough (and i was then close enough to help). before i get to them, the larger of the three had kicked the guy on the ground in the head. all you heard was a dull thunk like someone dropped a watermelon. long story short, my friends and i kept them from beating on mr. defenseless-and-passed-out and waited for the cops to get there. once they knew what was going on, they thanked us for getting involved, saying "no one wants to get involved these days. you probably saved this poor schmuck's life". that was 25 years ago and it's only getting worse.
