This is a good point.
I remember being out in the city one night, and from the balcony of the restaurant I saw what looked like a man dragging a woman down the street. I watched for a while, saw that no one was doing anything about it, and ended up running down to check whether she was ok for myself. Turns out she was just really drunk and he was actually her boyfriend (I went to get her some water and ended up sitting with them for a while until I was sure she was going to be fine and she could confirm she actually knew him), but it just goes to show how little people notice when it's late and there's a lot going on.
A lot of the time people don't want to get involved, whether for fear of their own safety, or because they believe someone else will step in. The more people around, the greater this effect is, because people feel a diminished sense of responsibility when there are plenty of others around to help.
I just wanted to say that I think you are amazing for doing that!! :loveyou: So many people wouldn't and I think it's such a shame!
