Are we all addicted to recording videos and doing nothing to help people?

For example a woman gets raped on train in Philly no one steps in to help just record it on their phones. Is society lost? Or we just don't want to get involved because cops arrest the hero instead of the criminals.

I would say the justice system is so poor and bad that we are afraid of being harmed ourselves. There have been so many cases of hero's who either got hurt or killed themselves cause they interfered and the justice system failed on harsh sentencing or that they end up in a legal battle with the cops or the system cause the various laws out there.

In Sweden the justice system is a joke that I wouldn't in most cases interfere unless I clearly feel I can do something in that specific moment as an example if a rape occurs.

A lot of people in situations like that are either in total shock, or they're simply scared of retaliation from the social justice people.

They are afraid to being harmed themselves. The only thing I can do is make a robber running trip, I'm not a fighter, I don't have the strength to overpower that attacker.

A friend of mine once punched a thief in the jaw and broke his jaw, he had to pay for that jaw. Although nothing would have happened if the thief didn't try to steal from my friend. So cops arresting heroes, you're not far off. And it's sad that it's being done like this.

n if not recording then they won't dare to help

it breaks my heart

I would say many people are. I am the opposite I don't record videos, I don't take pictures and outside the US I would intervene. Inside the US I would just walk away. Not about to risk being locked up for saving a woman and have her turn around and accuse me of some bs. Until femininity envelopes all US women they are on their own. And may the odds be ever in their favor

no, I am one that shows up to help no matter what.
It's just the way I have always been besides it being my career.

As long as people continue going further from God (the root cause) then this sort of behavior will continue.
