so we heard a story on the last day of psychology that was really sad.
A girl who was about 23 was waiting at the subway platform when a mentally ill homeless man was running through the terminal. He tackled her off the platform and onto the tracks. She was pulled under the platform and he started to rape her. There were at least 30 people standing on the platform and none of them did anything. They all heard her scream for help but they just stood there. A business man comes down the steps to catch an train and asks what the noise is. One woman pointed to the tracks. The man jumped down into the channel, pulled the man off the woman and clocked him in the face. He ran off and he pulled the girl out just beofre the next train came into the station.
Of all those people no one did anything when everyone saw everything happen. I don't think i would ever have the courage or the strength to do what that man did but i could never just stand by and listen to a woman screaming like that. I would hope that if i were grabbed, mugged, or threatened that someone would show courage enough to help someone in need other than just stand there, pointing at the problem.
People are all too selfish today and i hope it comes back to bite them

hahahaha im laughing at hobo train.
but seriously, people are so sucky it makes me sad.
It's one of the strange laws of sociology. The more people there are not doing anything, the more difficult it is for one to do something. It's like an invisible force and I know I've felt it.
