I recall a few years ago a crime story that made the evening news, though just barely. A person was pushed to the subway tracks by a stranger who then fled. At least one bystander observed it, but took little note and no action. He was reading an investors' journal. Another bystander leapt to the tracks and brought the victim up to the platform. The victim was spared injury. However, the "Good Samaritan" was struck by the train and died a few days later. I think he was engaged to be married. I know he had formerly been incarcerated for, I think, a felony. This demonstrated the complexities of judgement and affected me a lot.

We can't always predict who will save us and themselves and who will shrug their shoulders and whistle Dixie.
