In the early 1970's I went out to lunch in the fashionable Back Bay area of Boston. After lunch, I was returning with a coworker to the office on Boylston Street, a street with a lot of pedestrians. We came upon a crowd of about 30 standing on the sidewalk next to a church. We asked someone in the crowd why they were gathered. Apparently, the police had just left with a woman who was raped in the bushes. No one from a crowd of onlookers had dared to intervene.
I would have to immagine that most of the onlookers would disapprove of rape. Yet, none of them had the courage to lead a rescue?
My life experience tells me that a minority of 5 percent at tops has the courage to stand and fight for decency and the beliefs of which this country founded upon.
