Mob psychology & Richmond gang rape
A 15 year-old girl was gang-raped outside her high school dance at Richmond High School this week. Although there were many witnesses, no one intervened for approximately two hours. Across the nation people are asking, Why didn’t anybody stop this horrific act? Are bystanders responsible in a case like this? Would you have been strong enough to go for help? Or would you have been frightened to leave the group of people watching?
