Nothing new, the link below is probably the most famous example of inaction by citizens. This came to be known as the Genovese syndrome.
Genovese syndrome is another name for the bystander effect, a social psychological phenomenon where individuals are less likely to intervene in an emergency situation when other people are present.This is because the presence of other witnesses diffuses personal responsibility, leading each person to assume someone else will take action. The term was coined in response to the 1964 murder of Kitty Genovese, where numerous witnesses reportedly failed to help or call the police.

Key aspects of the bystander effect (Genovese syndrome)
  • Diffusion of responsibility:
    As the number of bystanders increases, the likelihood of any single individual intervening decreases, as each person feels less personal accountability for taking action.

    • Pluralistic ignorance:
      In an ambiguous situation, individuals may look to others for cues on how to behave. If no one else is reacting, they may conclude that the situation is not an emergency, even if they privately feel it is.
    • Evaluation apprehension:
      People may be hesitant to act for fear of being judged or making a fool of themselves in front of the group.
    • Real-world implications:
      The Genovese case spurred significant psychological research, leading to the conclusion that a group of passive witnesses is not necessarily a sign of collective apathy but a product of social dynamics.
    • Historical context:
      The Genovese murder occurred before the creation of the 911 emergency system, which likely contributed to delays in help, although the core principles of the bystander effect remain relevant.

Aka Democrat Socialist.
The guy was off the train and they left her to die. Threat was gone. It is purely a culture problem or social dynamic as you quoted above.
