Last week we read a student poem in which the poet wrote as if she was a witness to the events of the Holocaust.The person in the poem choose to just "walk away," even though the person knew that Jews were being mistreated. When someone sees wrong occuring but makes the choice not to act, that is called being a bystander.
The Holocaust is not the only time in which people were bystanders. It is a common thing that all of us have been guilty of at some points in our lives. Here is another example of someone being a bystander.
Assignment
How is the scenario below an example of someone/a group of people being bystanders? Why do you think the assistant principal responded the way he did?
The Richmond High School Incident
It happened the night of October 27, 2009. The girl’s name has not been released, as she was 15 years old at the time, but the accounts of the crime all agree, and it is beyond belief. For 2 and a half hours, while the High School Homecoming Dance was taking place inside the gymnasium, approximately 10 men gang-raped the 15-year-old student, beating her savagely the whole time, all the while 10 others stood around laughing and taking pictures with their cell phones.
The crowd eventually numbered more than 20, and no one called the police. No one went inside to tell a security guard or a policeman, several of which were on campus at the time. A little earlier, the assistant principal looked out his office window and saw 12 to 15 grown men sitting around near the scene of the crime, none of whom had identification badges, as is required, and none of whom appeared to be a teenager, and the assistant principal did not call the police, or alert any teachers or students. He returned to his job and ignored them.
The girl was severly hurt and was left for dead. She was found later by someone leaving the dance.

The scenario is an example of bystanders because there is other students watching and doing nothing about the girl getting ripped.Plus the assistant principal saw those men without badges needed.But because of the men being gangsters and grown[PROBABLY WITH ANY WEAPONS OR GUNS}the assistant with fear of those men attacking more teens.He decided to do nothing and ignore them as well.That's exactly the definition of bystanders.
ReplyDeleteAn example of being a bystander is when the principal sees those people there and he doesnt do anything. Also other people dont do anything ethier.I guess that other people didnt do anything because they were afraid of those people maybe they were scared that they would do something to them if they did something against them.The principle probably thought those people were just there doing no harm. I think he shouldve atleast gone check or something or payed more attention to what was happening.
ReplyDeleteThis is a example of a bystander because while these people beat and rap her people are just standing around taking photos. The people who decided to watch didn't even try to call the police or get someone to stop them. I think the principle acted this way because either he knew what was going to happen and didn`t care or because he might not have known they didn't have badges and thought they were security guards who came to keep the students in order.
ReplyDeleteI think that this scenario says how bystanders have more cowardly spirit than courage. These people did nothing but laugh and take pictures of this atrocious crime being committed towards this young girl. This gives the word of “BYSTANDER” an even worst example of whom the people are. But out of all, I think that the assistant principal committed a cowardly action, to my expense. He did not even help out by calling the police or helping the girl, he just ignored it. It’s people like that who deserve to grow up and stand up for what they think is correct, and fix it. This is a quality that this principal failed at, severely.
ReplyDeleteI think this story shows bystanders because like people were just standing there watching this girl laughing taking pictures.Yet none of of them helped her.I think the assistant principal didnt do anything because maybe he thought the schools name will be damaged, and nobody would want to go to that school.
ReplyDeleteThe scenario was an example of a group of people being bystanders because the did nothing at all to help the girl getting,"Gang-raped."I think the assistant principal responded the way he did because he was trying to protect himself.
ReplyDeleteWell the way the principal reacted the way is because the girls were taking pictures with their cellphones.Also she responded that way because some police officers were there in the scene of the crime and they didnt do nothing about it.The principal also didn't called no one because she saw the girl and didn't do nothing so she then went back to her job and ignored anything that happend in the scene of the crime.
ReplyDeletethe scenario above is an example of a group of people being bystanders by just watching and not reporting the event but some people think its funny but if it was them they would have felt the same thing as the 15 year like the principle
ReplyDeletethe scenario above is an example of a group of people being bystanders by just watching and not reporting the event but some people think its funny but if it was them they would have felt the same thing as the 15 year like the priciple he just watched the guys sitting there all suspicious.
ReplyDeleteIn the scene the group of people are bystanders because while the young girl was getting beat up and gang-raped 10 others just stood there watching, laughing, and taking pictures with their phones. Also the group of people got to 20 and noone had called the police or had went to let security know what was going on. The reason i think the assistant principal responded the way he did is because he probably didn't take much attention to the older men there because maybe they didn't look suspesious. And he thought they were just hanging around just like anyone would. Another thing can be that the assistant principal didn't think something bad can happen when men were just sitting around.
ReplyDeleteThe scenario is an example of someone/a group of people being bystanders because the group of students did nothing but watch the incident. I think the assistant principal responded the way he did because he assumed someone else would tell them to go away.
ReplyDeleteThis is an example for bystander because their was 10 guys that raped the girl and did not say anything about what was going on.There was 10 other people that saw the guys rapping the girl and just laugh and took pictures of what was going on to the girl.I think that
ReplyDeletethe assistant principal did not call the police, or alert any teachers or students and just went back to him job because he just though that they were just here and he did not want to bother then beause if he dose then they would do somthing about him.
The Richmond High School Incident, is an example of bystanders, because of the way people stood around, watching a crime happen, and did nothing to help, or stop it in anyway. I think the assistant principal acted the way he did out of laziness. Considering the incident took place on school grounds, he should have investigated the scene. He could have responded the way he did because he didn't think anything of it. He could have thought the men were looking at an animal, or just loitering.
ReplyDeleteWOW:O!!!What the Principal and Persons that were taking pictures and laughing at her was Wrong!!!Those Persons are Such Bystanders at least im glad the Person saw her dead and reported it!! I feel Bad for her:(!!! The Principal should of gone out and said this is A Teenage Home-Coming Dance not an Adult Home-Coming Dance and if they didn't leave he should of called 911 I guess or something!!! But, he had to ignore it I guess he reponded like a Bystander because their is to much man and they can Shoot Him or Beat him up,so I guess that's why he choose to be a Bystander and continued his Worked!!!
ReplyDeleteThis scenario is an example of a group of people being bystanders because while the girl was being beaten and raped to death over 10 people seen this occur and choose not to act. They choose instead to watch laugh and take pictures of the insident. I think that the principal choose to ignore the fact that he seen grown men standing outside because its normal to see people outside of a school and he probably was used to this and saw nothing wrong to stand in a crowd by a school. In my point of view I feel that even though its normal for grown people to be outside he should of went outside to check out what was going on and also I feel that the crowd who just watched this happen should have done something about the situation.
ReplyDeleteThis is an example of being a bystander by 3 reasons. One you watched it all. You know what you had to do. Last you did nothing. Maybe though the principal thought it was just horse play or he just didn't want to be caught being a suspect. Last maybe he just thought someone else would call the police.
ReplyDeleteThe scenario is an example of a group of people being bystanders because the group of guys raped the 15-year-old student, beating her savagely the whole time, all the while 10 others stood around laughing and taking pictures with their cell phones and no one called the police. Also no one went inside to tell a security guard or a policeman.
ReplyDeleteI think that the assistant principal responded the way he did because he fealt that if he tried to help they would do something to him or he just didnt know what to do.
bystander is when u do some worng like when they rapped the girl and everyone stand there and watch without helping her and not calling someone to help her
ReplyDeletethey didnt help her they just stand there and watch and bystander is when you dont do nothing about it and they just watch and not doing nothing
ReplyDeleteI think the principal didnt do anything because he was scared that if the men saw him and he called the police that they would come after them. Enough people saw the dudes doing that to the girl and noboday did anything. Bystanders just stand and watch others doing something wrong they didnt try to help those sick creeps
ReplyDeleteThe scenario was an exaple of someone/a group of people being bystanders because no one reponded or attempted to save the girl or call the cops.As for the assistant principal he might have responcded the way he did beacause he either didnt see the girl with the men or he simply didnt care.
ReplyDeleteThis is an example of a bystander because the assistant principal and the other people that were watching did nothing to help or stop them from hurting the 15 year old girl. I think the assistant principal did not do nothing about the group of people standing outside his office because he probably didn't think nothing bad was happening.
ReplyDeleteTHE TEACHER WAS A BISTANDER BECAUSE HE SAW PEOPLE STANDING THERE AND DIDNT DO ANYTHING AND ALSO I THINK THE ASSISTANT PRINCIP[AL DIDNT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE PROBABLY SHE THOUGHT THAT THEY WERENT DOING ANYTHING BAD SO HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING OR PROBABLY IF HE DID SOMETHING THEY WOULD PROBABLY WANT REVENGE ON HIM/HER SO HE PREFERED NOT TO DO ANYTHING.
ReplyDeleteThe scenario is an example of someone/a group of people being bystanders because even though people knew what was happening they just stood there laughing and taking pictures.
ReplyDeleteI think the assistant principal responded the way he did was because maybe he didn't see what was happening so he has no reason to suspect the guys hanging around the campous.
In my opinion i think the group of people are bystander because they just looked at the girl gettin beatin and rapped and they dint bother to ask for help or even try to help her. Also another thing is that they become bystander because they watch and laugh at the girl and being all bunched up in a group trying to see and watch. I think the principal did that because he wasnt sure if the people he saw were bad or unprotected. also maybe he dnt tell anyone because they were outside and he probably thought that he was late to save anyone or call the police.
ReplyDeleteThere bystanders because they were seeing the girl get hurt and they dirent do nothing, they were just laughing looking at what was going on. Ithink they did that because they tought they were cool just laughing at was going on, that they will be ook, but they actually get hurt.
ReplyDeleteI tihnk that assistant principal responeded the way he did because he was scared. I think that bystander is someone who watches but dont do nothing about it. Like when they were rapping the girl and a crowed of people started to built up.And people watch instead of helping the poor inesant girl. And the assistent of principal could of call the police but she just ignored it and acted like nothimg had happend.
ReplyDeleteThis is an example of people being bystanders because the group of people watching and laughing did nothing to help or stop the other guys from abusing the girl. They just stood there, watched, and let it happened. I think the assistant principal didn't bother to see what was going on and find out who those people were because he probably thought that since the people didn't look like teenagers, they were probably parents.
ReplyDeleteThe scenerio is an example of bystanders, because the guys only stayed there did nothing, watched her get raped, took pictures of her. They guys should not of done that becase she was innocent and hade done nothing , these guys just decided to rape her and leave her there when SOMEONE that was looking at her could of called the police and she maybe would of been alive . !! The principal reacted like that maybe because he really dint care or he dint bother to care for her OR he was afraid of the guys, maybe he thought that if he called the police on them the guys were going to hurt him . Sometimes this is a reason why bystandres dont do anything , because they think their going to get hurt .
ReplyDeleteThis was people beging bystanders because alot of people were looking at the girl getting raped and didnt do a thing only one had the courage to call the cops. i think the principle didnt do nothing because he saw how the gang did to the girl. and like say he had family and he called the cops and the gangs have freinds they can call them up and tell them it was him. then they can get his family and do something bad with them. Or even him. which well put his life in resk. so he decide to lave it like that and say nothing and do this job as every other day like nothings wrong.
ReplyDeletethe senario relates to bystanders because while the 15yr old was getting raped, several people were standing around taking pictures and videos. niether of them called 911. the did that because they probally thought he might be involved in the raping.
ReplyDeleteI think the people acted like bystander because no one tried to help her or call the police. They thought it was funny. I think the principal didn't try to do anything because he probably thought that they were just talking or just hanging there.Or he probably was just too lazy to even go outside and check what was happening. He probably was scared to go outside.
ReplyDeletethe bystaders are the people that dont do nothing just stand there and look or some just walk away. the bystanders in this story are the ones that took pictures and didnt call 911. i think the princple didnt do nothing bout it because he didnt want to miss with noone because they mint do something to him. i tink people should of done something because its rape man some people jus dont care for noone. if i saw something like that i would call 911 rite away. that is what a bystander is and that is why the princple did what he did.
ReplyDeleteAn example of a bystander is when the assistant principal looked out his office window and saw grown mens sitting around near the scene of the crime.The assistant principal did not call the police, or alert any teachers or students. He just returned to his job and ignored them. I think he respond like that because he did not care about the crime.
ReplyDeleteThe scenario below is an example of bystander because there alot of people watchimg and they didnt do nothing to help the abused girl. Its an example of bystanders because instead of calling the police they stood there watching and taking pictures with their phones. If i were there i would have called the police and do it annoymous. I think the Principal responded the way he did because maybe he thought they were just a group of kids hanging around school property.
ReplyDeleteWhere it say that while 10 other people were just standing and watching and also taking pictures that was being bystander. They didn’t even call the police or the security. The crowd grow more and not even one call some for help. When the assistant principal saw what was happening why didn’t he called the police to do something. Probably he was scared that later on the gang people were going to beat him up for telling the police.
ReplyDeleteI think the principal didn't do anything because he didn't know they were doing anything bad, or hurting anyone. This is an example of bystander, just watching someone and doing nothing about it. I think the principal was being a chicken and wasnt doing nothing bout it.
ReplyDeleteThe people were being bystanders because they were wathching the girl getting raped. and the principal thought the teens around her were going to call the police (911).
ReplyDeletehow the scenario shows an example of a group pf people being bystanders is that the people thta were watching what was going on didnt do anything about it all they did was watch.take pictures, and stand around like as if they were watching a movie this is a example because it shows how the people didnt do anything the difference of being in the holocaust was that they werent able to do anything and the people that were watching the girl just decided not to.i think that the principal didnt do anything ignored them was because he thought that someone else was going to call the police or just didnt care about the problem and decided to mhob:D
ReplyDeletei think the reason why the kids didnt do anythink was because they probely didnt want to be a snitch or get beat up by the people who were doing that to the girl. i think the reason why the asstanec princepal didnt do anything was because he thought they were just hanging out or they were just waiting for somebody or to pick up a family relative.
ReplyDeleteWell one way of being a bystander was when the principle didn't say anything or called the police when he seen the men standing were the crime scene had happened. The other one was when the people that were there when the girl was getting beat up, didn't do anything but stand there and laugh and take pictures as if it were a joke. And the people that got the text message or whatever,they were bystanders because they received something and they didn't bother calling the police or telling them what they had just gotten. Because that was a big deal. It's not for something to watch and ignore.
ReplyDeleteI think the principle didn't
call the police because he seen they weren't teenagers and they were grown man he probably got scared to call the police or let the students or the teachers know. Fearing that maybe the man could of done something...
this made feel like i was there watching it and felt like if i saw that i would at least try to help her
ReplyDeleteIt is showing the they are bystanders because they just stood there doing nothing and just watching taking pictures and not telling a gown up wat was happening. I think the assistance principal didnt do anyhting because he/she was prababobly scared or thought if he told they would get him fired or do something to him like to hurt him.
ReplyDeleteIt is an example of being bystanders because nobody did anything. I think the assistant principal didnt do anything because he was scared of getting involved. He probably thought that themen would go after him. But since he did nothing the girl was hurt and killed.
ReplyDeleteThis shows an exsample of people being a bystander because u had students standing around and allowing the girl to be rapped.I think that this shows an exsample of bystanding when the pricipal allowed the men to stand around and he did nothing. I think the principal did nothing because he was allowing the whole thing to happen meaning he was involved or he just was'nt that concerned as long as nothing hapened to where he had to report it.
ReplyDeletein the scenario above is a example of people being bystanders by the priciple just watched like 20 guys outside and didnt even report to the police or the security even though he knew there was a prom in the gymnasium. there were to be at least 10 to 15 students watching and instead of reporting they just laughed and recorded and took pictures. but if it were to be them they would have complained to the principle or the other students of why diod they not call the police.
ReplyDeleteI think that the people who were staring at the girl being raped and beat up were an example of a bystandard because they saw what the 10 men were doing to the girl and they didn't even call the police they just took pictures and laughed. They knew what was going on they just didn't care. Then after they all just left her for dead. I think the assistant principal acted the way he did because he couldn't see what they were doing. That doesnt protect him any way because he saw that the men didn't have any identification badges of if they were teen agers he just returned to his work. I think he didn't even care.
ReplyDeletethe bystanders were people that were taking the pictures and were watching or what was happening.the assisten principal didnt care because he didnt feel the need to help the girl because it wasent his doughters or somthing that he loved
ReplyDeleteWELL THE BYSTANDERS WERE THE ONES WHO WERE LOUGHOING AND TAKING PICTURES AND were not doing nothing and were just looking around. and also the security saw the guys on the street were the death and he just went back to work and didn't do nothing .and he rsponse meaning just look at what he did.
ReplyDeleteits a example of bystander because they didnt call the police,or told anyoneand 10 others stood around laughing and taking pictures with their cell phones so they didnt do anythingbut stand there.so they were all bysanders he probley thouht they were just hanging around.and didnt do anything.
ReplyDeleteThis is an example of a bystanders because people were watching a girl get raped and beaten. People did not call the cops when they saw what was going on. A bystander watches with out taking action. I think the vice principle did not doanything because she/he was scared. There to many men and she/he could of done sumthing to him/her.
ReplyDeleteThis is an example of being a bystander because a group of people were watching the girl get raped by taking pictures and laughing at her. At least one of them should of had the guts to know it was wrong and call the cops. The assistant principal must of responded this way because he must of thought they didn't do anything wrong and they also could of beat him as well. Still the assistant principal should of called the cops because they didn't have identification badges.
ReplyDeleteThe poeple that were watching what was happening to the girl were the bystanders.like the people that were taking the pictures and stuff like that.the principal didnt care about the girl because she wasent nothing important to him so that why he didnt do nothing about the problem
ReplyDeleteit was an example of someone being a bystander because like 20 people saw that the girl was getting raped and none of the people did anything to help like call the police or something and they were just standing there taking pictures and laughting at the poor girl.so they were all bystanders.i think the assistant prinsipal responded the way he did because he didnt feel that he needed to do anything bacause she wasnt his daughter or someone he cared for in his family. i think the assistant principal should get fired !!!!!!!i think that because its also his job to protect all of his students but he let that girl die and be raped .
ReplyDeletei think it was krassey how nobody payed attention to what was qoinq onn. they wouldnt like it if that was happeninq to them and everyone was watchinq and didnt do anythinq about it. what really pissed me off while i was readinq this bloq was when it mentioned that the assistant principal didnt do anythinq about it either and justiqnored tha situation.
ReplyDeleteIts an example of bystander because the principal didnt even do anything but sit in his office and just look when he could have done something even if he didnt want to go out side he could have called the police and also warned others.He could have at least thought of the girl as his own daughter.I think the assistant principal responded the way he did because maybe he was scared and thought that maybe if he went out there the 10 men would hurt him to or maybe he was just to lazy to do something and thought it was a show or somethig but that didnt give him the reason to not do anything and act the way he did that girl could have lived if he had done something.that was someones child and he just let it happen not to think to do something and i think he's going to jail right along with the other 10 men who raped her.
ReplyDeleteits about a 15 year old girl who got raped october 27 in richmond school and the girl was left for dead and there was alot of bistanders but they did not do nothing and she got raped
ReplyDeleteI think the asisstant principal did this so he cant creat a crime scene. Or alert anyone .Wich I thought was stupid.Anyone mature would have told someone .But i guess he was one of those iresponsible adult. He should of gotten fired .
ReplyDeleteWell I think that the group acts like a bystander because because they start laughing and start takeing pictures and really act like stupid idiots. They see that something is going wrong but they go along with it. Also the asistant principal didnt do nothing because he thought they were just hanging out or he was just a jerk and didnt care about it.
ReplyDeleteIts an example of a group of people being bystanders because the people that were watching what was going on didn't try to help the girl.Instead they were laughing and taking pictures of the girl.Another bystander would be the assistant principal because he didn't help the girl instead he ignored them.From my view point i think that the assistant principal responded the way he did because he was scared to defend the girl..he might of thought that the 10 guys were going to beat him up,if he tried to defend the girl.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a scenario of bystanders because they didn't do anything to help the poor girl that was suffering a rape. They didn't even try and help her instead they stood there watching like idiots not knowing wat the other person was doing was wrong! The principal saw and how is it possible he didn't do anything. They're suppose to look out for our safety and what happened wasn't right!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat happen is that the assistant principal looked out his office window ans saw 12 to 15 grown men sitting around near the scene of the crime and none of them had identifications and none of them appered to be teenager and the assistant principal did not call the police or alert any teachers or students and he returned to his job ad did nothing about it. The assistant principal respond that way b/c maybe he did not care or maybe he was scared that the people that did that might do something to the principal.
ReplyDeletei think the assistant principal should had called the police because if the girl that got raped was his daughter he would have other people to call the police in sted of going back to there job.
ReplyDeleteThe scenario is a very good example of a group of Bystanders because an innocent girl was being raped and the people who were there just laughed and even took pictures! Thats horrible! The girl expected them to call the police just like they would if they were in that situation but instead they let the poor girl get raped and beaten savagely by 10 men!
ReplyDeleteI think the pricipal acted the way he did because he was probobly scared. He probobly thought if the men found out it was him who called the police. They might mob him or something and beat him for being a trick or something. But that wasent the right thing to do, i bet if it was his daughter or niece being raped and no one called the police knowing that its happening, he would be really upset and think how unhuman that is.
Well i think that the baystander of the story was, even if their was 20 people watching they didn't do anything about it. They were just their watching anf takeing pictures. They didn't even call the poliece or anyone just stood their and watched. Well i think that the principle didn't do anything about it because well i really don't know why, people will do something about it but for some reasen he didn't do anything about it. I will think he was scared to tell anyone because he didn't stop it and now she was just left their to die. That was just bogus.
ReplyDeleteAnother example of bystanders are people who eyewitness sees it and does nothing about it.usually in a murder,bullying,or gang-rape like in this blog.Being a bystander is bad if you do noting about it you have upstand the upstander by telling an adult or something.
ReplyDeletethe kids were being bystanders because they didnt do anything at the time the just went along with it so that the would look cool and the principal probably didnt do amything because his reputation would be in ruin this would lead repoters to his school which will cause a fuss and he would have to face lots of problems
ReplyDeletethe pincipal did not do anything because he knew that if he calls the police the 10 gang membered people will get revenge.This is also a scenario because when they see people getting beat up when the rest of the people watch they start to laugh at the one who is getting beat up they dont care what happens to the person.finally thats why the pricipal did not do anything because he was scared of the ten gang membered people.
ReplyDeleteThey were beinq like that because they dont care for the student or what was happeninq it was all a joke 2 them. The assistant principle didnt do anythinq because he may have been scared or he may had not really realized what was qoinq on. He should had took action n made sure the students where safe not in danqer. The crowed that qrew biqqer n biqqer where just iqnorent people that didnt care for the student in danqer.
ReplyDeletethye kids in the crime were being bystanders and also the principal because many kids were taking it by a joke they were just laughing and taking picture surrounding the area so the adults wouldnt see also no student ran for help to the police or a security guard they all just stay in silent and the princepal was a bystander because he didnt want to call for help because was worried about his high school reputation .
ReplyDeleteThis is an example of a group of bystanders because they saw this girl getting beat up and nobody did anything. They didnt help them beat her up but they didn't do anything about it either. Which i think is very cruel. I believe the vice principal acted this way because she didn't want this to be a big thing and probably ruin the schools reputation. Which i think is very unfair and I dont imagine how these bystanders could live with themselves after witnesing this.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why i think that the principal acted the way that he did was because he probobly didn't care much or think that they would doanything. Either thatorhewas scared that if he told on them, they would turn back on him later. The group of kids didn'tdo anything because they were scared of their own livesaswell and they men might figure out who told on them and get them later. In other words , the bystanderds fear for their lives and in that case, peolpe wouldn't want to risk their lives for some unknow person.
ReplyDeleteThe scenario above is a great example of a bystander.The 10 old bangers watched as while this poor girl was being beaten and raped.The worst part about it was that the "friends" of the bangers took out their phone and took pictures of this girl.The principal acted this way because he thought it would look bad on his school.So he decided to keep his mouth sealed.
ReplyDeleteFrom my perspective this is an example of a group of people being bystanders because they didn't care about the girl being abused, they thought it was all a joke but it ended up being something severe like death. I belive that it was terrible for all the witnesess to be bystanders by not doing anything towards trying to help the girl being hurt.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine why the assistant principal would ignore such a serious problem. If I was the assistant principal I would have done something to stop it and prevent it from happening again and punish ther abusers and the bystanders because they coukld have made a diffrence between saving her life.
From all the kids that where their did not call the police or even bother doin anything.I think the reason for that was because they didnt want their friends to talk things about them.They probibly though it was funny.And the reason the principal did not do anything when he looked out side his window was because he saw about 12 to 15 people but were not teenagers so that makes him a bystander and for the 12 to 15 people that where their were also bystanders because didnt even bother to call police or security.
ReplyDeleteThey were watching what was happening and they were loughing like it was a joke. They did nothing to help her.i think that the principal didnt do anything beacause he didnt want to cause a big problem more than he allready had going on.He shuld have gone out there and check what was going on out there beacuse thats his job as a pricipal. People are bystanders beacuse they really dont khow the person and they really dont care. Beacause they dont want problems
ReplyDeleteIt is an example because there were 10 men raping the 15 year old girl and they were laughing and taking pictures with their cellphones adn the principal did not do anything.I think that the assistant principal responded the way he did because I think he might of been scared.
ReplyDeleteThe scenario above has a lot of examples of people being bystanders. First of all the first bystanders were in a group. Out of a crowd that got to be up to 20 people no one did anything but stand by and watch instead of telling someone. There was one other bystander which was the assistant principal and he was the worst. He was the adult nobody was watching him. He could have called the police, but he didn't, instead he just ignored the crime. I do not know why an assistant principal, an adult would act like this when he is the witness of a crime committed at his own school.
ReplyDeleteThe scenario is an example of bystanders. For one thing the assistant principal ignored the large amount of adults out in the school ground. In the end it was a large amount. Those who stood and took pictures and the assistant principal who did not report the crime. Now I think the assistant principal did not report this was the fact he might have thought the group were drinking, gang members, or just taking a stole together. I also feel the guy might have been in the crime, or might have just wanted to avoid all the trouble of calling the police.
ReplyDeletethe scencerio below is an example of a bystander by the jews not doing anything to help themselves. All they try to do is to just stay alive. Another examlpe of being a bystander is when the assistant principle ignored the teens raping the girl in the school yard. No one from the teachers and students called 911 to help her. The principle didnt do anything because he or she tohught that she was going to be okay.
ReplyDeleteThat senario is a example of bystanding because all those people saw that girl in pain and didnt do anything. Even the principal did nothing to help. The people that were bystanding should have got in trouble because all they did was take pictures and laugh and didnt even call the police. And to the girl that died R.I.P
ReplyDeleteThe students that were taking pictures of the girl being are bystanders because they didn’t do anything to help the girl. The assistant principle saw the girl getting rapped is also a bystander and he probably didn’t want to do anything because it would harm the school’s rep. or to not get himself in trouble by interfering.
ReplyDeleteI the bystander of this situation is that a girl getting raped.I think that bystander is the priniple .The reason I think that the priniple is the bystander because he watched it and dudnt do anything about it. Also because th epriniple didnt try to help the the girl and he didnt.
ReplyDeleteI THINK BEING BYSTANDER IS WHEN SOME IGNORS WHATS HAPPNING AROUND. LIKE THE PRINCIPAL CHEECK OUTSIDE THE WINDOW AND IGNOR THE YOUNG LADY IN THE FLOOR ALMOST DIEIND. AND NO BODY DID NOTING TO STOP FOR BEATING HER UP.
ReplyDeleteI think the students watching the crime are bystanders because they saw the girl getting rapped, had the chance to go tell a security or call the cops, but none of them did anything to try and help her.Also the principal was a bystanderbecause he saw the grown men without passes and did not call security or the cops.I think he didin't do anything because he provably thought nothing importrant was going on.
ReplyDeletei think being a bystander is when someone doesnt care whats happening.for exsample a kid walks home from school he gets jumped and a lady close by doesent do enything and walks right passed them. thats whats being a bystander is
ReplyDeleteFrom what I have read from the story of the 15 year old is that an example of bystander when 10 to 12 people would surrond the event taking pictures and laughing. None of them would do anything ,not even calling police.Maybe the assistant principal would respond like that because maybe there would be a group of people just hanging out and maybe that is why the assistant principal would react like that.
ReplyDeletei think that the being of bystander is based on a rapped girl ,that has been gone throuhg alot.which they coulnd do anything.which is bad and even though ten guys had raped this poor girl stay qiet.which makesd then a bi stander. the worst thing that they guysdont say nothing and the people that watched are by standers because they didnt do nothing or even call the cops to help the poor girl. the 15 years old girl could of been in good hands if someone calle dthe police so that makes them by standers.
ReplyDeletei think the scene and the people were bystanders becouse they were all at the place and scene were the rape was happening and they did not help or go get someone who could help and all they did was stand their taking pictures.that is what i call bystanders.I think that the principal acted that way becouse he did not get to see any thing going on he just saw the men standing there.
ReplyDeleteI think the assistant principle acted this way because he didnt want no part of it and decided to let one of the students from the dance be an upstander.Or he was just to scared to do anything about. I think the assistant principle should of pushed away the person and save the 15 year old girl.
ReplyDeletethe bystanders should have called the police or something because i know for a fact that if it was them, they would have wanteed someone to call the police for them. its sad how she got killed because of her own assistant pricniple could do anything,.
ReplyDeletei think that the girl has the fault to and the bystander isn the girl i think that she must do something that made the other guys do that to her now she is going to have to tell the police
