So we agree that calling whatever country this is “fucked up” is a little premature given we don’t have all the information as to what transpired.
It's not just based on the police response but how other people around him are behaving, for example on their phones and calling the police.
You can see people passing by and ignoring that shit as if it was normal.
A guy shouting "I'll kill you" whilst pursuing somebody into a store would trigger the people at the store calling the police in most of Europe.
I forget the term but there is something that happens in a society given a large enough number of people.
People will walk on by as they assume with that many people about someone else will call the police or intervene.
Then there is the I don’t want to be murdered by this guy too so I’m not getting involved in that.
I live in Manchester and I see it all the time. There could be 5000 milling about through the city centre and some nutcase screaming at people and nobody cares. They’re too busy, too desensitised, or just terrible people.
Paris is very similar too.
Bystander effect
That’s it. Thanks.
