South African bystanders also to blame

TOP del.icio.us

It’s curious to see a photograph of South Africans protesting outside a police station in response to the murder of Mido Macia. It’s mind blowing to read that “a large crowd of horrified bystanders” were  “looking on” with “some warning police they were being filmed.” Has there been any discussion and investigation into why the public didn’t take action and help Macia? Protesting is far safer than intervention, isn’t it? Being a spectator is core to upholding and maintaining injustice.
