Bystander effect- why you're better off damn near alone.
You’re out for a relaxing Sunday, the weather is perfect, the sun is shining down and warming your face, people are out enjoying their weekend. Nothing gives you pause or cause for concern, there are plenty of people around --why would you have anything to worry about? Suddenly you feel a piercing pain in your lower back, the pain repeats a second time. As you turn and lock eyes with a man you’ve never seen before you recognize he is filled with rage and you see him punching you over and over but the punches aren’t punches they are piercing, ripping lightning bolts of pain.
