you do realize that the bystander effect hasnt actually been observed in reality, right? i mean, just look and the examples in the article. every single one had people reporting it. and the fiasco that started that conjecture was `Kitty Genovese` murder, which was repeatedly reported as well. the police just didnt care enough to actually dispatch someone at that day. or are you insinuating that random people from the street should interfere if there is an armed perpetrator running around knifing people? or `Raymond Zack`, ...how do you expect random people to actually do something? he wanted to kill himself. if he wanted to get out of the water, he couldve done it within the 60 minutes he was just standing in the water. and after he collapsed someone even went in. despite the fact that its incredibly dangerous to try to help someone who is actively trying to kill himself. if that doesnt disprove the conjecture by itself, idk what could. each and every example is just showing that there are tragedies which the police arent able to handle. that doesn't mean that the bystander effect is actually real.
