This is a sad story. I hope they get the rest of the people who committed this crime. It is a disgrace some people just watched it and did not report it.

news in the u.s. is intentionally watered down, slowed down, and censored, to a level that would be understandable to a 3rd grader.
seriously i took a course in tv journalism, that's what we were told on day 1
we had to rehearse saying our voiceover lines and the only direction everyone kept getting was "slower, no, even slower."
it's just awful

basically RKO it's the bystander effect at its most basic. the more people there are to witness something terrible like that, the less likely they are to help. they're on the fence as to whether or not they should help, and so they look to everyone else to determine what they should do. the problem is that everyone else is also thinking the same thing, so everyone's just standing around dumbfounded with hesitation.

It's psychology 101. The more people surrounding a crime in progress, the less likely it is that anyone will intervene. It's called the bystander effect. A classic example of this is a murder that happened in a crowded courtyard where not only did nobody help, but the murderer went away and came before finishing the job. (It's the case of Kitty Genovese, which was mentioned earlier)
it's probably what was going on in the case of the 3 planes in 9/11 which hit successfully--i mean you have only 3-4 terrorists with crappy box cutters versus about ~90 people, but all of them just behaved and played nice until their doom. in the one that went down without hitting a target the people actually decided to do something.
when it comes down to it, a crowd can only be successful in vigilante justice if there is one or several people around with that type-A, take-charge personality, and enough courage to stand up and fight.
recently, locally, there was an unarmed man who groped and tried to snatch a little girl in a Wal-Mart. People were crying out about it but the only person to actually get up and try to stop him was a man in a wheelchair at the entrance, who grappled onto his midsection as he was running by and pinned him using only his arms.
if you're in that situation you just have to hope someone will do something instead of just become a dumb sheep.

I learned about this in a SOC class before. It's called "The culture of Silence"; it's exactly what Stevo said, people won't call out because that puts them as being an outcast or outsider, thus alienating themselves from the others. It's a common thing really. Sad, but true.

Makes sense. It is like people are just like, "Oh good poor victim! I hope someone will help them."
It's rare when you find someone actually doing something about it. If the crowd of the people who watched the poor girl being raped did something about or helped her, pretty sure she wouldn't have been hospitalized now or at least not as bad.
