Agree, it's a very troubling situation. Unless the general public in proximity to an attack is legally required to respond, seems unlikely to make a difference

- X86BSD 11y agoThe sad thing is even if they are chances are they will not do anything to stop or prevent it. I think people, everywhere, including the US are mostly afraid. I have seen people in the US do nothing when something bad takes place. Most people I think live in fear. They don't want to get involved. It's a very sad state of humanity but it's the climate we live in. I have nothing but the most sincere concern for women in India. I find it so incredibly troubling the attitude that country has of women. The fact that government refuses to recognize a womens right to defend herself with deadly force when gang rapes are a common everyday occurrence is.... soul crushing. A Panic button? Really? That is the best Modi and crowd can enable women with? This speaks volumes about how women are viewed there.
