If there are a lot of people around, moral responsibility gets diffused because no one is accountable and every one assumes someone else will act first. No - none of those by-standers are innocent. They're culpable in the crime and God takes note of those who stand by while their brother's blood is being shed. I believe one has a positive duty to aid someone in trouble.

You are right. There is absolutely no excuse for this! It would not have put any of those by-standers in harm’s way to make a phone call! These other tenents must have condoned what this man, Ibrahim, was doing to this woman.

Doesn’t sound like a very nice apartment complex to live in, does it? I wonder if it is public housing?
