Hmm i dunno.  What if I saw your daughter/wife being kidnapped and about to get shot, but I just went about my way.  Ya know, not my problem, dont want to get involved......Yes, i should have helped, and yes, at the end of the day, only those who committ the murder are responsible.  But, how would you feel about me??
