The group were devastated by staying in the freeway until a they called a family member to arrive and help the distressed group. And in a matter of time, they arrived at the game without any more delays. It was a shame no one bothered to help. said the mothers friend, I felt like an outsider. And even though it was broad daylight, people could not afford to offer help that time. People may not have assisted them because it may be a waste of time for themselves, if they might get hit by another car if they try to turn and help, or was sure someone else can help them.

He said Marco Hernandez experienced a robbery about two months ago, but did not overreact or did anything to stop it. The people around the liquor store were scared because the Marco said, I was at the store buying soda and chips, when I saw two men walk into the store. I saw another man in the car.

Midnight Drama by Marco Hernandez

Seeing eye-to-eye?

the robbery did not catch his attention, neither for others. When people saw that the robbers were armed, they were scared and walked away. Some lady with her child said, Dios mio! Apurale! Vamonos mijo! She was in shock and told her child to leave. Situational ambiguity, perceived cost, and diffusion of responsibility took place. It was clear that two people in a liquor store pointing to the cashier with guns were robbing the place. Since the two men were armed, people might have thought that if they were to help, they could have gotten shot. Others thought the police were on the way. People can also have thought that since they are not in danger, why get themselves in danger. They just wanted to prevent danger for them and the children, if they were around.
