The most shameful aspect of the entire tragic episode is that there was not a single man worth his salt from the crowd in the platform to try and neutralize the assassin. That speaks volumes for the veeram of this Tamil mann. Tamils will have to hang their heads in shame for generations to come because this tamilnadu could not produce a single fellow with guts to try and neutralize the hacker. For the other nemerous techies who travel by the same train it required just one of them throwing their backpack at the assailant and distracting him. It is unfortunate that we are becoming a country of cowards and imbeciles. It is time women start carrying a knife in their bags. LOL.
I agree Sir,
By standers of such crime have a moral responsibility to prevent the crime either by intervening or by protesting or by some other means to eliminate bullying behaviour as we are ethically bound to preserve peace.
But we do see in real life, most bystanders without guts, prefer to escape harms. It is unfortunate and shame that we do live among few such people.
And we do have some members in this very same Forum advocating to escape from such scene of crime.
And here is a news item:
No one came forward to help my daughter, says father of murdered Infosys employee
Excerpts:
"The only agony I have is that the people presentat the station were mute spectators," Swathi's father Santhana GopalaKrishnan told ANI on Tuesday.
"If anything happens to some one's motheror sister, will they be mere spectators," a bereaved Santhana asked.
He also urged an attitude change in the masses stating the fact that police cannot be present at all times everywhere. It is necessary for the public to show courage in such circumstances and come forward to help,Swathi's father added.

And What is the responsibility of a bystander ?? It is for attention of members who advocate escape from harm.
Are You A Responsible Bystander? Learn Your Responsibility As A Good Samaritan
It often happens that we are witness to a crime than being a criminal or victim of it. There is an accident wherein the victim is badly hurt and in need of immediate medical assistance; mostly people surround him out of curiosity than a human obligation to call for help, police, ambulance etc. If we find a violent quarrel on the street, or a person is being beaten by a mob, the general reaction of the public is to witness it than intervene to stop it. It is true, we did not start the fight nor are we directly hurt by the accident, but by staying without any motive to help or call for help is the clear definition of apathy and indifference which is unethical and even immoral as well. In the cases of eve-teasing for instance, the perpetrator is encouraged to continue his actions chiefly because the public turns a blind eye to him and the culprit is free to escalate his winks into an assault without any obstruction whatsoever. It is true, we are moulded since childhood to avoid risky situations, which is good strategy but where is the logic to watch without any objective to lend a hand. These and many instances call into question the general behaviour of people in the wake of an unfortunate incident like an accident or a street fight etc.
